SCHOOL PROFILE (HISTORY):

Jim Bourton Memorial Agricultural Senior High School known for short as JIBMASS, which began as co-educational day/lodging school was founded on 11th October 1979. This was the sole initiative of the Logba Youth Association to promote Agricultural Education. The School was named Logba Agricultural Secondary School (LASEC)


Jim Bourton Memorial Agricultural Senior High School or LADEC is located in Logba on the main Accra-Hohoe Eastern Corridor road. The school is about 45 kilometres from Hohoe in the Volta Region. It occupies an area of 26.17 acres.

The initial school population was thirty students which comprised twenty boys and ten girls. The school was renamed Jim Bourton Memorial Agricultural Senior High School after the late Mr. Jim Bourton, a Canadian University Organization Volunteer, who joined the Teaching staff on 14th April, 1983 and later, on 30th April 1984 became the Headmaster. He met his untimely death on 18th February 1994 and was buried in front of the School’s Administration Block.

It was the aspiration of many that the School will be absorb and run as Government assisted Senior High School, to alleviate the daunting task of running a second cycke institution privately. God being so goog this dream came to fruition in January 1992. From the struggles and perseverance of all who made this dream a reality came the Motto of JIBMASS – Patience and Perseverance


In October 1996 the school was renamed Jim Bourton Memorial Agricultural Secondary School in appreciation of the food work and sacrifices of the late Jim Bourton. With the implementation of Ghana’s recent Education Reforms which began in September 2007, the School was again renamed Jim Bourton Memorial Agricultural Senior High School.

Jim Bourton Memorial Agricultural Senior High School started a historic Boarding System on 13th January 2008 with an initial number of five students and a kitchen staff of two women on the first day. The boarding population increased to 103 students and three kitchen staff by the end of the second term in which the boarding system was started. The school population now stands at 759 as at 2019/20 academic year with fifty-five (55) dedicated and hardworking teaching staff in addition to three (3) National Service Personnel and thirty-five (35) Non-Teaching Staff members.


To broaden the scope of learning and access, General arts, Business Education, Vocational Subjects which include Visual Art and Home Economics were added to the initial Agricultural Programmes run in the School. Management is also putting measures in place to further add Technical Programme by next academic year.  Over the years the School registered hundred percent passes in West African Senior School Certificate Examinations

(WASSCE). In 2012/13 academic year, JIBMASS was adjudged the overall best performing School in the Afadzato South District.  The School again took the first position during the 63rd Independence District Quiz Competition in 2020. In sports and games, the School is second to none at both District and Regional levels, under the leadership of Messrs Mr. E.K. Asiamah, Mr. Andrew K. A. Abini and Mr. Emmanuel Yao Tenu. The School has since seen a steady growth in both academic and social life.


Jim Bourton Mem. Agric. Senior High School (JIBMASS) is fast growing with modern facilities such as a fully furnished 18 unit Classroom Block, well-equipped ICT Laboratory, state of the art Dining Hall/Assembly Hall and a source of portable water in the school.

We have struggled over the years to see this happen.

We have persevered in our struggles.

Indeed, the realization of the dream, the aspiration and the toils of many people has now come to fruition.

Here comes JIBMASS to stay forever.


School Anthem
Arise! Oh Students of JIBMASS,
Arise, arise and shine.
Lift high the flag of your alma mater
And make her great and strong
Say no to laziness but work
Only towards success
With patience and perseverance.
Arise! JIBMASS, success awaits
Remember our path founders and follow their footsteps
Great sons and daughters of Great JIBMASS,
Arise and shine
