Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific (NIWC Pacific), formerly Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific (SPAWAR Systems Center Pacific or SSC Pacific) provides the US Navy with research, development, delivery and support of integrated command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR), cyber and space systems and capabilities across all warfighting domains. The only Naval technical center headquartered in a major fleet concentration area, NIWC Pacific manages strategic locations both in the Pacific theater and around the world. NIWC Pacific is advancing the Navy's employment of next generation unmanned systems and autonomous vehicles, large data management, antenna design, clean and renewable energy sources, and both offensive and defensive cyber programs. As the primary research arm of the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR), NIWC Pacific supports basic research and prototype development, basic and applied science, extensive test and evaluation services, systems engineering and integration, installation and full spectrum life-cycle support of fielded systems. With worldwide connectivity and numerous partnerships with private industry and academia, NIWC Pacific addresses warfighting requirements for Navy, Joint, National and Coalition war fighters. The laboratory operates as a Naval Working Capital Fund organization and relies on funding from both Navy and non-Navy sponsors rather than direct Congressional appropriations. The vast majority of its workforce is located in San Diego, CA, with detachments located in Hawaii, Guam, and Japan.

Mason Street Schoolhouse is a historical building in San Diego, California built in 1865. The Mason Street School District No. 1 is a California Historical Landmark No. 538, listed on September 14, 1955. The Mason Street School is the First Publicly owned School in San Diego. The school was used from 1865 to 1872. The Schoolhouse was moved once. For sometime in the 1940s to 1952 the Schoolhouse was a tamale restaurant, which operated out of the building until 1952. In 1952 San Diego County Historical Days Association acquired the Schoolhouse. The State of California acquired the Schoolhouse in 2013. The school building is now the Mason Street School Museum in Old Town San Diego at 3966 Mason Street. The school was restored in 1955.The Schoolhouse is 4-feet by 30-feet, 720 square feet with a 10-foot ceiling. The first teacher was Mary Chase Walker (1828–1899) born in Massachusetts. Walker graduated in 1861 from State Normal School in Framingham, Massachusetts and had a job teaching in Massachusetts. At the end of the American Civil War in 1865 Walker came to San Francisco, not finding a job there she travelling to San Diego. She took the teaching job for $65 a month (about $1,224.00 a month in today's dollars). Walker had 35 students of ages 4 to 17 in the single One room schoolhouse. Walker had the job for 11 months, when Walker married the school superintendent Ephraim Morse. A historical marker was place as the site by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors and The Historical Markers Committee in 1955.
