Description

Rear Admiral William T. Sampson.

Original caption: "
The W.T. Sampson School is the oldest Department of Defense Schools that are still in operation today. W.T. Sampson School is a unit school, which means multiple schools that act as one entity. It is also the only American high school located on communist soil.

The school originally opened in 1931 and was located on Chapel Hill ,which is the current home of the base chapel. The schools are named after U.S. Navy Rear Admiral William T. Sampson.

Sampson, born February 9, 1840, was known for his victory in the Battle of Santiago de Cuba, which was fought during Spanish-American War. Sampson emerged victorious from that battle which helped lead to the eventual devastation of the Spanish Navy’s Squadron located near the Caribbean Islands. His efforts forced the Spanish to surrender.

Rear Admiral Sampson died in Washington, D.C., May 6, 1902.
