Official Opening of New Manulele Tausala Junior High School Building
Last
week Thursday, October 18th, 2001, Lt. Governor Togiola T.A. Tulafono attended
the official dedication ceremony of the newly completed two story classroom
building at the Manulele Tausala Junior High School. Lt. Governor Tulafono
encouraged the teachers of the junior high school, to utilize this building for
the purposes for which it was built. "We must foucs on
education," stated Tulafono, "because American Samoa is not rich in
gold or diamonds. But what we are rich in, is the ability to educate are
kids the best we can. This building will provide the necessary environment
and adequate space to house the 1,000+ student enrollment. It is this
education that serves as the foundation of our country and our
future. We do not have the luxury of investing in riches, but the
richness of our kids has a lot to invest in our country. That is my
challenge to you, teach them well."
