Academic Competitions

Because we believe education is the key to success, we participate in key educational competitions that build the mind of our students and make them sharper than they usually would be.

National Science & Math Quiz

Oda Senior High School (ODASCO) has made significant strides in the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ), demonstrating the school’s commitment to academic excellence and competitive growth. A historic moment came in 2021 when ODASCO advanced to the quarterfinals for the first time after defeating Nifa SHS and Boso SHTS in the one-eighth stage. Although their journey ended in the quarterfinals against Opoku Ware School and Ghana SHS, Koforidua, their performance was a source of pride and inspiration. In 2023, ODASCO participated in the preliminary stage, competing strongly but narrowly missing qualification for the next round. Through determination and resilience, ODASCO continues to build a legacy of excellence in the NSMQ, motivating students to strive for greater achievements.
