Our Values
OUR HISTORY
BHS at a Glance
Baptist High School Benin was founded as a school to cater for the needs of student whose schools were occupied by Biafran soldiers in 1967 during the Nigeria civil war. These students were hurriedly sent home by their school authorities, in the lbo speaking area of the then mid-west region, in most cases without having the opportunity of travelling home with their books, clothes and mattresses. In the state of despondency and the hopelessness of the displaced students, the then military administrator of Mid-West region Col. Samuel Osaigbovo Ogbemudia, caused an announcement to be made by Chief E.K. Clerk who was then Education Commissioner, for the affected students to report in Baptist High School. Following that announcement, the affected student reported at the defunct Baptist Teachers Training Collage, along West Circular Road, Benin City on September 1967, which was during the third term of the school calendar year. The school had no co-educational in order to accommodate boys and girl whose schools were occupied by the Biafran troops.
