Our History

On April 30, 1913, The Governor of the Territory of Hawai'i signed into law Act 160 to establish "the Kauai High School." The courthouse was located on a four-acre parcel atop a hill often referred to as "Ke Kuhiau",
which translates as "high point." The area was once the site of "Ke Kuhiau", one of three heiaus located near Kalapaki Bay. On September 14, 1914, Kauai High School opened its doors in the renovated courthouse as the fifth high school of the Territory of Hawai'i and the first high school on the island of Kaua'i.

Our Mission

Welcome to our school! We believe that parent participation is key to student success; our new website is designed to provide parents with all the information they need to be active participants in their student’s education. You will find that the site works just as well on mobile devices as it does on a desktop so you can find information on the go.
