I've been hearing plans to open a new high school in Yap, but nothing's happening.
So does anyone know anything about it?
The school was supposed to start last year, but what happened?
But if Yap ever gets a new high school, that would be interesting...
Feedbacks, people!

From what I've heard from the "planners" of the high school, it is scheduled to open this Fall. Big disappointment since they still have no faculty and staff. But it would be interesting to see how things unfold.
Good luck to our Yapese friends, and enjoy your new high school.
I wonder if this will have an impact on Xavier High, knowing every states in FSM now have catholic high schools..."
Educating our kids especially in math, science, language arts, and critical thinking is a top priority for our developing nation, and I hope we put our money where it counts.
There are numerous people who have proven themselves to be talented, passionate, and effective teachers. But they too have their own children's needs to think of, e.g. college tuition, when it comes to what job they choose to work at.
In order to afford the best for our children, the Catholic congregation should donate more money to the school; the government, too; and parents should actively raise funds to help. Tuition of course cannot be lowered to the point of non-existent. Parents must pay, although scholarships can be created too through fundraising to help the most promising students or those who have the most financial difficulty. If we can afford imported goods that are bad for us, we should be able to afford education that is good for our children and their future. If we can afford airfare, tuition, room, and board to send our best to Xavier, we can muster private school tuition on our own soil.
Use that added money to attract great teachers already in our community working outside the education field.
Way to go, newbie.
Xavier, take notes ;)
