I corrected the school's website link in my original post, so it works now. There's a page with historical milestones...using two different translators, here's what it says:
Bing:
2015.02. 24 the 64th graduates: 33 people (the total number of graduates, 7,882 persons)
2013.03. 01 only principal for my 26 forever
2005.03. 01 designated as autonomous schools
2002.03. 01 school name and with high school Golf Hampyeong students change
2001.07. 13 designated as the high school and the characterization:
1996.09. 01 middle/high separation
1994.09. 01 Middle/integrated
1991.03. 01 school name with high school and unemployment Hampyeong students change
1951.09. 25 Hampyeong agricultural high school changed the name to the middle and
1929.09. 18 public agricultural school is sleep mistakes
Google:
2015. 02. 24 Chapter 64-times graduates: 33 people (the total number of graduates 6089 people)
2013. 03. 01 Article 26 jeongjongman principal appointed

1951. 09. 25 gyomyeong change in middle and high school agriculture Hampyeong

I'm guessing it's a public H.S., but probably has special admission requirements related to golf.

It wasn't just a social visit! Jiyai Shin Donates 10 million won to her high schoolGolfer Shin Ji-yai donated W10 million to her alma mater Hampyeong Golf High School in South Jeolla Province on Wednesday to create scholarships (US$1=W1,133). Shin, who held the world No. 1 position in women's golf in 2010, is currently playing in the LPGA of Japan. She is also engaged in nurturing young aspiring golfers. On Thursday and Friday, she will host a junior tournament under the sponsorship of ThreeBond Holdings in Gokseong, South Jeolla Province. A total of 120 golfers from elementary, middle and high schools will participate. The highest place finishers will be given scholarships. "I'm in my 10th year as a professional golfer, so I wanted to do something to help junior golfers," Shin said. |

jtbcgolf.joins.com/news/news_view.asp?news_type=15&ns1=13513Congrats to Google for finding the above article dated 5/26/2010, which could not be found by my usual Korean search sites. It has two photos (wish they were bigger). Team Hampyeong shed their school uniforms and did some amateur modeling. From L-R in both pix with ages: In Gee Chun(16), Mi Hyang Lee(17), Go Un Yu(16), and Su Yeon Jang(16). Of course, we know the first two made it big in the LPGA and the fourth one is a star on the KLPGA. The third player, Yu, played the KLPGA big tour for about a year and a half, bombed out, and retreated to the KLPGA Dream Tour.
