Radford High School was established in Central Oahu in 1957 and was fully accredited for 6 years by the Western Association for Schools and Colleges in Spring, 2005. The schools in the Radford Complex are within a one-mile radius of Pearl Harbor, Hickam Air Force Base, Foster Village, Aliamanu Military Reservation, and Crosspointe. Radford High School serves a community of approximately 30,000 people; it has a ethnically diverse student body comprised of about 70% military dependents, resulting in a yearly transiency rate of about one third.
The Military Youth Advisory Council (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 colleges liaisons. Most of the issues of its transient population are addressed in this council which meets 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. Each MYAC meeting is hosted by the students representing Student Government and the Culinary Arts Academy.
Some of the measures to improve student achievement through standards based education have been the introduction of rigor through the Freshman Academy and the offering of upper level courses in all core areas; the inclusion of integrated projects in the English/social studies and math/science departments; the implementation of the schoolwide Advancement Via Individual Determination curriculum to provide student support in writing, inquiry, collaboration, and reading; and the development of reading and math workshops to address the needs of less than proficient students.
Radford provides a rigorous academic program: language arts classes 9 and 10 for the gifted and talented, two advanced placement courses in each core content area, a Freshman Academy, the Multimedia Program under the Arts and Communications Career Pathway, an NJROTC program, a Culinary Arts Academy, a Building and Construction Academy, and many other electives.
Radford also maintains several outstanding comprehensive student support programs. The Transition Center provides an orientation to a new school, a “lunch buddy” program, and a tutorial component for those students who need to “catch up” and is now open year round. The Discovery Center assists students with job preparation and placement. The College/Career Resource Center assists students with college searches and applications. A proactive practice, Senior/Parent conferences informs seniors and their families of their graduation status early in the senior year, while time still allows changes to be made to insure graduation.
