• Awe SHS
• Bawku SHS
• Bolgatanga SHS (BIG BOSS)
• Navrongo SHS (NAVASCO)
• Zebilla SHS

Regional Powerhouses

• Bolgatanga SHS (BIG BOSS) — The capital’s flagship school, well-resourced and determined to carry the region’s banner.
• Navrongo SHS (NAVASCO) — One of the region’s strongest, with history and alumni support backing its NSMQ campaign.
• Bawku SHS — Known for grit and resilience, often battling through tough preliminaries.

🎓 Regional Balance and Representation

• Sandema SHS and Awe SHS represent the growing strength of schools outside the bigger urban centers. Their participation highlights NSMQ’s inclusivity and how education is expanding in reach and competitiveness across the north.

🚀 Dark Horses and Schools to Watch

While Bolgatanga SHS and Navrongo SHS are traditionally regarded as Upper East’s flagbearers, Zebilla SHS is quickly gaining attention as a potential spoiler capable of upsetting better-known schools. Awe SHS also enters as a spirited underdog, determined to gain valuable experience and possibly shock stronger opponents.

📅 What’s Next?

The five Upper East schools will contest the preliminary rounds in Accra this October. Without seeded status, their journey will be challenging, but the region’s history of producing resilient teams means they could spring surprises. 👉 Fixtures: NSMQ Website 👉 Updates: EducationGhana NSMQ 2025 Coverage
