Maui High School

Home of the Sabers

Maui High School opened in 1913

in the community of
Hamakuapoko, which is located in
the northeast sector of Maui. Maui
High School was the first academic
public high school on the island
with an initial enrollment of sixteen
students. In 1972, the present Maui
High School campus opened in
Kahului, the heart of central Maui. The school is now comprised of twelve major
buildings, 36 portable classrooms, and several athletic facilities on 75 acres. At the time,
over 60% of the school’s student body traveled from the northeast sector, a
predominantly agricultural and rural community. Central Maui students were added to the
school’s population at that time.

Maui High now serves the Central Maui community of Kahului, the business and
transportation center for the island, as well as the South Maui communities of Kihei and
Wailea, a newer, resort and tourism driven area of the island. Approximately 60% of our
student population resides in Kahului, while the remainder comes to us from Kihei and
Wailea. We also serve a number of students who attend Maui High on Geographic
Exceptions to participate in some of our outstanding programs.

Maui High is a comprehensive high school, offering extensive programs for students in
grades 9-12. The school is a Smaller Learning Communities driven school, where
students in grades 9 and 10 are part of learning teams of up to 150 students, sharing
common faculty and aligned coursework. Grades 11 and 12 are driven by Career
Pathways where students select and complete a course of study within the school
curriculum.

Maui High is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges Accrediting
Commission for Schools. To learn more about WASC and what accreditation means
