History of Capt. H.B. Price

      Thriving since 1958, Price Elementary was named after the 30th governor of Guam, Naval Captain Henry Bertram Price. Captain Price served as governor of Guam from 1923-1926. In the short time that he was governor, Captain Price provided the catalyst for farmers to become self-sufficient. He established the Department of Agriculture which, even today, remains a fixture in Mangilao and is located across Price Elementary. He is also credited for building roads in Mangilao to increase access for farmers, as well as a school, and a dairy factory. Therefore, inspired by Capt. Price, the school’s mascot is the Lancheros, a Chamorro word which translated in English means “farmer”. The Lanchero spirit continues to embody the vision set forth by Capt. Price nearly a century ago, as the faculty, staff, students, and parents of Price Elementary continue to be steadfast in their mission of sowing and cultivating the seeds of learning in students in a resolute determination to enable all students to become self-sufficient and valuable global citizens.
