Hiram Bingham High School (HBHS) is a secondary school in Rongorongo, Beru Island, Kiribati, serving forms 1-7.[1] It is affiliated with the Kiribati Uniting Church (formerly the Kiribati Protestant Church or KPC).[2] It has boarding facilities.[1]
History
Reverend William Goward created the school in 1900.[1] It was previously operated by the London Missionary Society (LMS),[3] and its original purpose was to train clergy for the KPS.[1]
John Garrett, author of Where Nets Were Cast: Christianity in Oceania Since World War II, stated in its history that the school "struggled to align at least some of its standards with" that of King George V School, a government high school.[3]
In 1993 it was the only full secondary school operated by the KPC.[4] Between 2008 and 2011 the number of students declined.[1]
