Prempeh College victorious in first-ever Senior Sharks contest
Prempeh College, one of the highly rated high schools in the country finally got to unleash their brilliance in the Senior Sharks Quiz 7. After many years in absentia, the Sharks Quiz community caught a glimpse of the quick and nimble students from the Prempeh College at last. Prempeh College were given Hope College, a top private school in the First Round series of Senior Sharks 7 to evaluate their strength in the scheme of things.
