Origins:

Founded in September 2004, the High School of the Pacific invites gifted students from 12 nations to pursue a challenging academic course combined with multicultural character education. With initial support from philanthropic peace visionaries Rev. and Mrs. Sun Myung Moon, HSP has benefited also from the expertise and contributions of many who are not named as staff or faculty. Just a few are mentioned below:

• Anthony Aparo
• Victor Jessop
• Eun Sang Kim
• Rev. Sam Masilamoney
• Bart and Helen Mwarey
• Ronald J. Adler
• Sung Kyu Park

Education has long been understood to create the future leadership of society. At a time in which the Pacific Rim nations are emerging with a collective potential to achieve global prominence, the preparation of leaders fully capable of navigating the complex issues facing their nations is essential. HSP offers global-level education, while preserving the cultural legacy they already possess.

Beacon of Hope:

In September 2004 the world witnessed the beginning of a high school institution designed to shape the future of the Pacific Island Nations. The High School of the Pacific is presently developing a cadre of ethical and capable future leaders who, as Islanders, will effect positive social change. This school has been designed to provide rigorous academics and ongoing character training for these students. The peoples of Oceania can now place their earnest hope and confidence in our students as the future leaders of the Pacific Island Nations.

Thanks:

This tremendous opportunity became reality by a generous investment in the education of specially gifted island children through the vision and initiative of Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Sun Myung Moon. As an expression of thanks to them and to all who have endeavored so long and hard to make this school a reality, the staff and students of the High School of the Pacific offer their heartfelt gratitude.
