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.
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. 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.
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. It encompasses the following military housing areas: Hokulani, Ohana Nui, Hickam Air Force Base, Catlin Park, Ford Island, Hale Moku, Halsey Terrace, Little Makalapa, Makalapa, Moanalua Terrace, Pearl Harbor Shipyard Quarters, and most of Aliamanu Military Reservation Housing.
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.
Radford High School is part of the Hawaii Department of Education Aiea-Moanalua-Radford Complex Area in the Central Oahu District along with Aiea High School and Moanalua High School.
