St. Francis Senior High Technical School is situated in the central part of Akim Oda New Town in a suburb called Jamaica, off the Roman Catholic Church. It was established in the year 1967 by the late Rev. Fr. Francis Beemsterbor, an American Catholic Priest as a Middle School. He registered it under the St. Francis Catholic Mission with LABOUR, HONESTY AND PEACE as its motto.

Over the years, both teachers and students have shown a high level of commitment to academic work. The school always scores 100% in the May/June WASSCE. Since our School falls under the category of under privileged, six (6) best students (3 boys, 3 Girls) are offered free admission into the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) every year since 2004.
