Sunyani Senior High School (SUSEC) is a coeducational second cycle institution in Sunyani in the Bono Region of Ghana.

Sunyani Secondary School popularly known as SUSEC is one of the products of Ghana Education Trust. It was established in 1960 by Prime Minister Kwame Nkrumah,^[1][2] later Ghana's first President.

The first batch of 36 students, 31 boys and 5 girls, was admitted on 30 October 1960.

On 13 December 1960, Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah inaugurated the school, which started with only three teachers and nine non-teaching staff.

Sunyani Secondary School started as a co-educational Institution but after a short time, it was decided to make it a boys' school, and the few girls in the school were sent to Yaa Asantewaa Girls' School, but this was reversed the following year and girls were again admitted.

The first Headmaster of the school was P.D. Quartey.

The school's emblem, an elephant, was selected because the name Sunyani is a distorted variant of the name "Ason Dwaee," signifying the location where the legendary hunter and warrior Nana Boahen Korkor, the creator of the Sunyani traditional territory, killed and skinned elephants.

Nkrumah said in Latin that "A man was born not for himself alone but for his country," which inspired the motto "Me man nti enye me nti," which was originally used by the first Headmaster.

The school grew over the years. The number of non-teaching employees increased from nine (9) to one hundred and five (105), while the number of teaching employees has increased from four (4) to one hundred and ninety-eight (198). Four thousand four hundred and thirty-seven (4437) students now^[when?] make up the student body.

The following figures show the number of students who have passed out of Sunyani Secondary School. Among these are doctors, nurses, lawyers parliamentarians, heads of institutions and departments, teachers, pastors, and businesspeople.
