Pacific Horizons School (PHS) invites you to join us in a vital campaign that will help us continue to provide excellent education for the young people of American Samoa.

 

When PHS opened its doors in 1994, we began with six students, two teachers, an armful of books, and a dream. Three decades later, the school has grown to serve more than 220 students, secured property rights to its campus (2014), and is now recognized as a premier K3–Grade 12 institution in American Samoa. Our students’ achievements reflect the success of the school. Among our highlights are:

• A Senate Resolution (2011) recognizing high SAT scores

• Four National Merit Scholarship Finalists (2005, 2006, 2020, 2021)

•  A National Honors Society Finalist (2025)

•  Recognition for achievement in science locally and internationally (ISEF, HOSA, National STEM Festival, ROV World Championship)

•  A Presidential Scholarship Finalist

• Admission and degree completion at leading universities such as Stanford, Harvard, and the U.S. Air Force Academy

 

Until recently, PHS offset 15% of its operating costs with federal Consolidated Grant assistance. With changes to this grant, the school now faces a funding gap that threatens our ability to sustain programs and fulfill our mission. To address this, we are launching our Giving Campaign with a goal of $50,000. We are seeking donors to make leadership pledges or give donations in kind for our Read-A-Thon.

 

We hope you will consider joining us as a donor. Any and every contribution helps. With your generosity, we can continue equipping our students with the education they need to thrive and become leaders of tomorrow.

 

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a lasting difference!
