Guam Adventist Academy (GAA) is a K-12 private school run by the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Guam and the Seventh-day Adventist Guam Micronesia Mission, [1] in Yona, Guam. The school's Windward Hills campus is across the street from the Windward Hills Golf Club. [2]
In 1949, Pastor Dunton founded what would become the GAA in Dededo, with an enrollment of 26 pupils. The second GAA school in Talofofo was opened in 1951. [3]
By 1957, the two schools merged into one K-12 institution, located in Agaña Heights. In July 1963, the institution secured what would become its current location in Windward Hills. [1]
In 2007, the school had about 100 students. [4]
As of 2010, the school combined the high school graduation and the eighth grade promotion exercises into a single ceremony. [5]
Activities
The athletic teams are called the "Angels." [6]
The Angels had a Middle School Basketball team with the two stars being point guard #0(leader in steals and assists)and (#50,leader in points and blocks)would still be very skillful and would have a much better statistical year.
The school has a career day every year. [7]
Electives offered in the school include Japanese, Spanish, Korean, Handbell Choir, woodworking, small engines, anatomy and physiology, and gardening. [1]
