Fodoa Community Day Senior High School, also known as "Fosec", is a public senior high school located in Kwahu West Municipal, in the Eastern Region of Ghana. Fodoa Community Day Senior High School was commissioned on Wednesday, 26 October 2016. Since its inception, the school has been a purely day school and single track with no boarding facilities. However, there are private hostel facilities that accommodate most of the students of the school: one boys' hostel and one girls' hostel. The school is located along the Kumasi–Accra highway, about from Nkawkaw. The school is one of the centres for BECE in the Kwahu West Municipal.
History In September 2014, the chief executive for Kwahu West municipality, Hon Dr Alex Obeng Somuah, together with the chief executive for Kwahu East district, Hon Nana Antwi, and some other executives cut sod for the project to begin. The school was among the 200 community day schools President Mahama promised. The late Prof Nana Agyakwa Frimpong III, the then Fodoa chief expressed much satisfaction to the government for such a project to be established on his land.
