Labone Senior High School (popularly known as L-A Bone) is a public senior high school located in Labone in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. It is noted for its success in the National Science and Maths Quiz, athletics, music and cultural activities.

History

In 1949, six leaders of Ghana saw the need to establish an educational institution for young people staying around Osu and La. A private school was established in the Ako Adjei Area.

At independence, the first president of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah, realized that to accelerate the country's development, educational facilities must be widespread.

The Ghana Educational Trust was instituted and was charged with the construction of school buildings throughout the country, including Labone. The school was relocated to the present site.^{[citation needed]}

In 2024, the school celebrated its 75th anniversary.

In 2025, a fire destroyed dormitories at the school.
