Atauloma Girls School, Historic parochial school in Afao village, American Samoa

The Atauloma Girls School building sits on a 6-acre property in the Western District of Tutuila Island, featuring multiple classrooms and dormitory facilities.

The London Missionary Society established this educational institution in 1900 as the second secondary school on Tutuila and the first to accept female students.

The school prepared young women for roles as pastors' wives while also providing graduates to the nursing school at the naval station in Pago Pago.

The facility allowed girls from Tutuila to receive secondary education locally, eliminating the need for dangerous travel to educational institutions in Upolu.

The building earned recognition on the United States National Register of Historic Places in 1972 and appeared on Ghost Hunters International television show in 2012.
