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]

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 Jason Sheedy.

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[]

Like other Department of Defense Education Activity schools on Guam, Guam High School requires school uniforms. Uniforms consist of navy blue, white or black golf shirts and oxford shirts, as well as khaki trousers, skirts, and shorts.[6] DODEA Pacific officials began implementing uniforms at the schools in the northern hemisphere fall of 2007; students received a period to adjust, then uniforms became mandatory in January 2008.[7]
