American Samoa History

It is situated on the island of Tuzuila, the biggest of the seven Americas in the luxuriant valleys of the town of Mapusaga, nine leagues westward of PagoPago, the commercial centre of the country. Samoa is about 2,500 leagues to the south east of Hawaii and 1,800 leagues to the north-east of New Zealand. About three-quarters of the 76 sq. m. of American Samoa, it is home to 90% of its nearly 65,000 inhabitants.

Founded in July 1970 as part of the Ministry of Education of American Samoa. In the following year the college was relocated to the old Fia Iloa High School in Utulei. In September 1974, AdC relocated to a new, permanently open college when it took over the grounds of the former Mapusaga High School.

A scholarship from the U.S. Economic Development Administration of the AdC in 1979 allowed the completion of five new premises with advanced equipment for teaching natural sciences, health care, arts and vocational training, a coffee shop and a grammar school. A new, state-of-the-art archive was opened in 2003; a new lecture hall, administration office and two new teacher training rooms were added in 2008; all class rooms, scientific laboratories and computer rooms were refurbished in 2011 and equipped with funds from the American Reinvestment Recovery Act (ARRA); the ground-breaking ceremony for the Multi-Purpose Center was launched in 2013.
