Fagalele Boys School
The Fagalele Boys School, in Leone, American Samoa, is a historic building that was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[1] It is a church school built by the London Missionary Society, perhaps as early as 1850-1856, but before 1900. It was the first secondary school in what is now American Samoa, and it perhaps is the oldest surviving building on Tutuila Island.[2]
