They reached the semi-final stage after beating St Thomas Aquinas and Ghana National College in the quarter-final. They competed against Mfantsipim School and Ghana Secondary Technical School (GSTS) in the semi-final. Mfantsipim won that contest and went on to win the trophy in the grand finale.
Upon their arrival at the school, students were standing outside, cheering the three contestants. People who live near the school also cheered the contestants.
There was a police motor leading the convoy. The trio stood in a car and waved at all those who were cheering them by the roadside. Several motorbikes joined the convoy as their way of celebrating the students.

“This is very good. It will inspire all the kids running around the road to work harder at school. They will also feel, if they work hard enough, someone will give them the same or better welcome one day. A very well done to the reps and their tutors.”

“This is what it’s all about, Charley. The recognition alone is on another level. It’s not just the Contest, but how you change the perception and beliefs for the young ones who are coming. Much Love to the people of MANKRANSO for giving them a HEROES welcome. I’m crying 🥹.”

“This is the reason why going to less prominent schools is really an advantage for brilliant students. You’re respected for life. The prominent schools would fail to do that because you’re not the first to do what you did.”

“Now most of the kids are going to want this, and Ghana will benefit from it in the future.”
