Our History
Koror Elementary School was founded after World War II. Palau became a United Nations Trusteeship Territory in 1947, administered by the United States. In 1947 Koror Elementary School was established under the United Nation’s trusteeship agreement as a District of the Trust Territory of Micronesia. It was the only school during that time. In 1964 George B. Harris was established to relieve the load of Koror Elementary School.
Koror Elementary School was located in Medalaii Koror, where Palau Community College is presently located. In 1969, Koror Elementary School was relocated to its present location in Ngerbeched. The following shows Koror Elementary School's previous administration to Present.
