Kubasaki High School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kubasaki High School is a United States Department of Defense Dependent School located on Okinawa. Kubasaki is one of the two oldest schools of Department of Defense Dependents Schools existing, the other being Heidelberg High School.
Kubasaki High School opened on September 15, 1946, as Okinawa University School. At that time, high school students used the school buildings during the day, and personnel used the school buildings at night. The original high school student body was comprised of 25 students. The high school received accreditation in 1948. In 1952, the high school (then known as Okinawa American Dependent High School) was moved from its location in Awase to the area known as Kubasaki. From the Kubasaki campus, the high school moved to the Naha Port Wheel Area, and in the fall of 1964, moved to the present site in Zukeran. Since 1952, it has been known as Kubasaki High School. Kubasaki has withstood destruction by both typhoon and fire and has developed both a rich tradition and an excellent academic reputation.
An active alumni community exists and can be accessed at http://www.kubasakihighschool.com.
