Admiral Arthur W. Radford High School, known as Radford High School, is a coeducational college preparatory public high school in the City and County of Honolulu, Hawaii.

Basic information

The school is named after Navy Admiral Arthur William Radford who served as Commander-in-Chief of the United States Pacific Command after WWII. Radford High School, was established in 1957 and graduated its first senior class in June 1960. It is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.[1] The school is located on 27 acres of land on Salt Lake Boulevard, outside of the Aliamanu Military Reservation. The campus boasts the bronze sculpture Striving for Excellence by Jan Gordon Fisher. Radford serves a community of approximately 30,000 people. Its students are ethnically diverse and about 63% military dependents, resulting in a yearly transiency rate of about one third.

Boundaries

The school community is located within a one-mile radius of Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Foster Village and Aliamanu. Radford High School's boundary encompasses the following civilian housing areas: Aliamanu, Alii Plantation, Crosspointe, and Foster Village.

The Military Youth Advisory Council (MYAC)

MYAC is the school’s primary community group and is composed of school leaders, three military commands, Family Service Centers, business and civilian leaders, PTSO representatives, students, and the community college liaisons. The council addresses most issues of its transient population, meeting once a month on the Radford campus. It is a highly functional, comprehensive partnership which has resulted in many exemplary programs and improvements for Radford students and has solved many critical campus/community issues.[2]

Come ye all of Radford, rise strong and sing,

Let praises to our colors ring.

Through the years, may all honor be

To our school with pride and loyalty.

Radford High forever, sing Radmen sing,

Lift high all voices, let our hearts join in.

We shall guard her honor, faithful true we’ll be,

Lift our royal banners, in sky, on land, and sea.[4]
