Methodist Girls' High School (Meghis) is a Ghanaian girls' second-cycle institution at Mamfe, in the Akuapim North District of the Eastern Region.[3][4]

History

The school was established in 1984 as a private institution called Mamfe State College. However, due to financial, administrative and staffing problems, in 1988 the school was handed over to the Methodist Church Ghana, as a result it was renamed to Methodist High School. Government absorbed the school into the public system in January 1993.[5]
