School Overview

H.S. Truman Elementary School is a public institution located in the village of Santa Rita, Guam. As part of the Guam Department of Education, it serves the local community by providing foundational education to elementary-aged students. The school is situated in a quiet, residential area of southern Guam, reflecting the island's unique educational landscape where public schools serve as central hubs for their respective village neighborhoods.

The school is named in honor of Harry S. Truman, the 33rd President of the United States, which is a common practice among schools in Guam due to the island’s status as a U.S. territory. Like many schools in the district, H.S. Truman Elementary focuses on the core curriculum of literacy, mathematics, science, and social studies, while often integrating elements of local Chamorro culture and language to foster a strong sense of community identity among its diverse student body.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).

Title I Program Overview: Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) allocates federal financial assistance to local educational agencies and public schools with high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards.
