The building was the second school to be completed under the Amended Compact Agreement between the FSM and the U.S.
U.S. Ambassador Peter Prahar said the school was a solid proof of America’s commitment in improving the lives of the people of the FSM.
He asked the community, the parents, the teachers and most especially the principal, to demonstrate how much they value education by making sure each are meaningfully involved with the school.
FSM Foreign Affairs Secretary Lorin Robert said “like other facilities and infrastructure projects, this school is more than just a building in the heart of Kolonia — it is a tangible symbolic structure and a testimony of the unique partnership and friendship enjoyed between the United States and the Federated States of Micronesia. We thank you ambassador for the support and assistance of your government.”
