Basic Information
Radford High School, established in 1957 and graduating its first senior class in 1960, is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. The school is located on 27 acres of land on Salt Lake Blvd., 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.
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 college 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.

Famous quotes containing the words basic and/or information:
“It seems to me that our three basic needs, for food and security and love, are so mixed and mingled and entwined that we cannot straightly think of one without the others. So it happens that when I write of hunger, I am really writing about love and the hunger for it, and warmth and the love of it and the hunger for it ... and then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied ... and it is all one.”
—M.F.K. Fisher (b. 1908)
“When action grows unprofitable, gather information; when information grows unprofitable, sleep.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
