Guam High School (GHS or GMHS [2] ) is a U.S. military operated secondary school located at 401 Stitt Street in Agana Heights in the United States territory of Guam. [3]

Contents

The school, a part of the Department of Defense Education Activity, serves over 500 students grades 9 through 12. The school serves children of military personnel stationed in Guam. Staff includes forty-six teachers and two administrators. The principal is Katrina Watts.

In September 1997 the DoDEA opened its own schools for children of military personnel. [4] It is within the Naval Hospital census-designated place, defined by the U.S. Census Bureau. [5]

School uniforms

Unlike other Department of Defense Education Activity schools on Guam, Guam High School does not implement a school uniform policy for everyday classes. The only exception to this is while participating in physical education courses, during which students are required to wear a basic uniform consisting of either a gray tee shirt and black athletic shorts or a Physical Training (PT) uniform issued to students participating in the school's Navy Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (NJROTC) program. Certain extracurricular activities may also require their own uniform during their events.
