[edit] Old Maui High School

The original school was founded in 1913. Early students arrived to school via horse and buggy or the now defunct Kahului Railroad.[2] The old school site 20°54′55″N 156°20′54″W / 20.91528°N 156.34833°W / 20.91528; -156.34833 (Old Maui High School), which included the campus' centerpiece administration building built in 1921 and designed by architect Charles William Dickey, fell into disrepair. The site was considered to be nominated to the State and National Register of Historic Places.[3] Work to restore the campus was started in 2004 by community organizations including the Friends of Old Maui High[4] and Community Work Day. The campus boasts the sculptures A Path Through the Trees by Satoru Abe, Growing by Toshiko Takaezu, and Carolina by Thomas Woodruff.
