History of GAA
Guam Adventist Academy traces its beginning back to the 1949-1950 school years, when Pastor Dunton founded what has now become GAA. Maria Ulloa and Magdelena Flores were the first teachers in Dededo Village with twenty-six students. A second school opened in Talofofo in 1951 with Mariano D. Tabali as the teacher. By 1957 the schools had become one at the Agaña Heights location with an elementary through twelfth grade curriculum. The current Windward Hills property was secured in July of 1963. The 1999-2000 school year marked Guam Adventist Academy’s 50th anniversary.
