Fiaseman Senior High School (often called FIASEC) is a public secondary school in Tarkwa, in the Western Region of Ghana. It is a mixed school, meaning both boys and girls attend.[1]

Fiaseman Senior High School was started in 1955 by Mr. Jonathan Pra Kofi Ainoo. At first, it was a secretarial school with only 16 students and 2 teachers.[2] Later, it changed into a secondary commercial school called Royal Secondary Commercial School in 1967.[1]

In 1974, the government added it to the public school system. The school changed its name to Fiaseman Secondary School in 1977 after an agreement with the Wassa Fiase Traditional Council.[3]
