Holy Trinity Cathedral Senior High School (popularly known as HOTCASS) is located in Accra Central on the High Street of the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. It is a private school by the Cathedral Church of the Most Holy Trinity.[1]
Brief history[edit]
The school was established in October 1969. In August 1962, one Mr. Sam Amayih, a then Senior Tutor of the Anglican Training College, Kumasi was moved to Accra to succeed one Mr. E.f Laing, who was on the verge to retire as the General Manager of the Anglican Education Unit.
Mr. Laing informed Mr. Sam Amavih about his late brother George Laing, then Provost of the Cathedral plan to start a school for the Most Holy Trinity Cathedral Church. Mr. Laing knew Mr. Sam Amavih was the best person to start the school since he had had so much experience with schools and colleges.
Mt Sam-Amavih agreed to undertake that task to start the school. Happily, the then Bishop of Accra, Rt. Rev. I. S. M. Le Maire and Rt. Rev Bishop A. K. Nelson, Assistant Bishop and Provost of the Cathedral and the Parochial Council of the Cathedral embraced the idea and were set to offer assistance towards the establishment of the school.[2]
Courses offered[edit]
The school offers:
- Home Economics
- Visual Arts
- Painting

Achievements[edit]
The school won a special "What Do You Know" quiz held in Accra as part of the activities to herald Ghana's 57 independence anniversary celebrations in 2015.[3]
School anthem[edit]
Pray for the peace of HOTCASS,
Dedicate the service to the Almighty,
With commitment and selflessness,
Victory shall be ours,
HOTCASS we shall be loyal to thee,
HOTCASS shall be,
Faithful to thee,
The sky is our highest limit,
We shall fight on and succeed.[4]
