Miyamura High School
Public high school in Gallup, New Mexico
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hiroshi Miyamura High School is a high school in Gallup, New Mexico. Formerly known as Gallup Junior High School, it was renamed Miyamura High School in 2007 as part of the Gallup-McKinley County Schools’ plan to create a second high school to serve Gallup, and was renovated from 2008 to 2010. The school's location was the site of the old Gallup High School campus from 1962 to 1998, before the latter moved to Gallup's west side. Miyamura High School is named after Korean War hero and Medal of Honor recipient, Hiroshi Miyamura.
