The information exists.
The record doesn't.

Ghana keeps its history in fragments: a Wix page nobody updated, a WhatsApp group, a school filing cabinet, somebody's YouTube account. The Store Room is where those fragments get put back into a record you can search, check and argue with.

Everything is sourced, graded for confidence, and honest about the holes.

Still in boxes

Work that exists as a pile rather than a record. Listed so it can be looked for, not promoted to a project.

Why any of this

The official NSMQ past-winners page carries one field per year: the school that won. No contestants, no scores, no dates, no venues. Two of its year tabs say "No Competition held" without saying which years. A full day after the 2026 final it still listed 2025 as the most recent edition.

The record rots in public too. One outlet called Pope John "2021 champions" in one article and "2001 winners" in another the same week. Another put St. Peter's third on the all-time table with three titles. Mfantsipim has four. The tally on this site adds up to 31 contested editions exactly, so you can check it against anything else you read.

Keep the receipts. Show the arithmetic. List what is missing.
