In the 1954/55 academic year, the Prempeh Cadet Corps was established. The Prempeh College Cadet Corps is an outfit set up to teach students hoping to make an army career the rudiments of the army. The Cadet Corps though being in the school is under the auspices of the Second Brigade of Infantry.

One of her products, Seifa A.A. was awarded the prize for the Best Officer Cadet at the Passing-Out Ceremony at the Nautical College in Tema in 1967.

At the beginning of the 1985/86 academic year, the Cadet Corps bid farewell to our former P.S.I WOI Seidu Busanga who had served in the school for about 30 years. He was replaced by P.S.I. WOI Nutakor, a very dynamic man. Cadets who are taught about army life are taught weapon drill, swimming and section battle formation.

To keep the cadets fit, there is an "endurance" on every other Saturday. This is quite a good experience to both the cadets and the civilians in the school who usually take part. The School also brings in an instructor from the 4th Battalion of Infantry to prepare the boys for Speech and Prize Giving Days. Prempeh College cadets are also in charge maintaining order and preventing all sorts of unecessary riots during Inter-Collegiate Sports Competitions at the Kumasi Sports Stadium. Furthermore, our Cadet boys nearly always participate at the Stadium during Independence Day Celebrations.

In two such occasions, our cadets WOII Abu Ibrahim and WOI Amoako have been honoured with "The Best Cadet Sword." Abu Ibrahim is also the first and the only cadet boy in Ghana to command the national Independence Day Anniversary parade at the Kumasi Sports Stadium from 1986 and 1989.

Another great achievement of the Corps is that it has been able to produce graduates from the Military Academy. One of these is Oppong Yaw Tawiah, our 1982/83 Assistant Senior Prefect.
