History

Okinawa High School 1956

          Okinawa Shogaku High School was established in 1983 by its original founder and present Chairman/Principal, Masajiro Nashiro. Prior to the inauguration of the new school, the campus was occupied by the former Okinawa High School (1956-1982) under the leadership of the late Chairman Noboru Kakazu.

          Upon transfer of management and rights, Nashiro renamed the school Okinawa Shogaku High School. In 1986, Okinawa Shogaku Junior High School was created as an affiliate to the high school. Another historical landmark was made with the completion of the present school building and facilities in 1990 and culminating in the establishment of Shogaku Gakuen, an educational foundation, in 1991 whereupon the the two academic institutions came under its jurisdiction.

          Shogaku Gakuen was instrumental in laying the foundation for public awareness of academic excellence in Okinawa. It continues to uphold its policy of nurturing and promoting high academic standards as well as emphasizing the virtues of developing both mind and body. It proudly lays claim to success in the admission of its graduates to the nation’s most challenging and prestigious universities. In addition, the school has received many national honors in various athletic competitions such as baseball and judo, thus bestowing pride and distinction to Okinawa Prefecture.
