The classroom, which cost GH¢80,000, was funded through the District Assemblies Common Fund.
It is to help ease the classroom accommodation challenges confronting the school, which still operates from the premises of the former St Georges Vocational Institute at Kuntanase, the capital town of the Bosomtwe District.
The school, which was started by the Catholic Church in 1987 as an Apprenticeship Training Centre with 37 students, was turned into a vocational school in 1994 and a senior high and technical school in 2009.
It currently has a population of 417, made up of 285 girls and 132 boys.
Inaugurating the facility, the District Chief Executive for Bosomtwe, Madam Veronica Antwi-Adjei, urged teachers to give their best to enhance the development of education in the country.
She called on School Management Committees (SMC), parent-teacher associations (PTAs) and other stakeholders to support efforts by the government to ensure that students were properly trained to become responsible future leaders.
The Bosomtwe District Director of Education, Mr William Awuni, received the keys to the building and handed them over to the headteacher of the school. He commended the district assembly for the building and said it would go a long way to enhance teaching and learning.
He urged the students and the school authorities to take good care of the building for it to last longer, in order to serve the intended purpose.
The Headmistress of the school, Madam Alice Martha Agyei, appealed to the government to provide the school with a means of transport and more computers to facilitate teaching and learning of ICT.
