[edit] Alma mater
In old Kahuku stands our Alma Mater
Where the salt winds blow day after day
With her doors flung wide
For her sons and daughters true
While the flag of freedom proudly waves above.
Hail Kahuku, Hail our Alma Mater
Hail to our colors red and white
We'll cherish, love, and honor thee
All hail, Kahuku, hail! [2]
[edit] Kahuku Red Raiders football
Since 1999, the Red Raiders have appeared in the state championship game seven times, coming away victorious in six of them and have won the title under two different coaches, Siuaki Livai (2000, 2001, 2003, 2005) and Reggie Torres (2006, 2011).[3] Aside from holding multiple state titles, the Red Raiders have won the Oahu Interscholastic Association (OIA) title 10 times since 1998, a feat no other OIA team has ever accomplished.[citation needed] Along with being consistently being ranked number one in the state, the team also has been ranked 43 among national high schools.[citation needed] In 2006, Kahuku was ranked second in the nation in number of athletes playing at Division 1 schools as fifteen of the school's graduates have gone on to play professional football.
[edit] Controversy
Going into the 2010 OIA championship game against the Mililani Trojans, Kahuku was number one in the state, undefeated, and seeking another state tournament appearance. However, after a ruling by the OIA and the Hawaii High School Athletic Association, the team was forced to forfeit the championship game, relinquish all of their wins from the 2010 season, and not compete in the state tournament because of the use of an ineligible player.
