Punahou School, once known as Oahu College, is a private, co-educational, college preparatory school located in Honolulu CDP, City and County of Honolulu in the U.S. State of Hawaii. With about 3,760[2] students attending the school, in kindergarten through the twelfth grade, it is the largest independent school in the United States.[3]
Founded in 1841, the school has a rich history, a wide variety of programs and many notable alumni. Along with academics and athletics, Punahou offers visual and performing arts programs. In 2006, Punahou School was ranked as the "greenest" school in America.[4] The student body is diverse, with student selection based on both academic and non-academic considerations. In 2008 and 2009, Punahou's sports program was ranked best in the country by Sports Illustrated.[5]
U.S. President Barack Obama graduated from Punahou in 1979.[6]
In 1795, the land known as Ka Punahou was taken in battle by King Kamehameha I. Along with Ka Punahou, he gave a total of 225 acres (0.91 km2) of land (from the slope of Round Top down to the current Central Union Church, which included a 77-acre (310,000 m2)-tract of Kewalo Basin) to chief Kameʻeiamoku as a reward for his loyalty. After Kameʻeiamoku died, the land was passed down to his son, Ulumāheihei Hoapili, who lived there for twenty more years. When Hoapili left to become the governor of Maui, he gave the land to his daughter, Kuini Liliha.[7]
Ka Punahou was given by Liliha and her husband, Oahu's Governor Boki, to Reverend Hiram Bingham, one of the first Protestant missionaries in Hawaii.[8] Powerful leader Queen Kaʻahumanu was a strong supporter of the mission, and built a house for herself near the Binghams. A portion of the stone wall she had built to protect the compound from roaming cattle has been preserved.
Founded in 1841, Punahou School was originally a school for the children of missionaries serving throughout the Pacific region. It was the first school with classes only in the English language west of the Rocky Mountains.[8] The first class was held on July 11, 1842, and consisted of only fifteen students.
Punahou has educated members of the Hawaiian Royal family in its history, but it is not to be confused with the Royal School.
Daniel Dole (1808–1878) was Punahou's first principal.[9] It was known as Oahu College from 1853 to 1934.
During World War II, much of the Punahou campus was commandeered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers:[10] Castle Hall (the girls' dormitory when Punahou had boarding students) was used as a command center, buildings were connected with tunnels, athletic fields were used as parking lots, the library was cleared to become sleeping quarters and an officer's mess. The cereus hedge on the campus lava rock wall was topped with barbed wire. Punahou students volunteered in hospitals and raised enough in war bonds to purchase two bombers and a fighter (among other airplanes) which were named after alumni who had fallen in service.[11][12]
In the 1970s, Punahou's upper field and gymnasium were used for the Superstars nationally televised athletic competitions.
The campus was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings in Oahu on August 7, 1972.[1]
Many traditional events take place on campus. On the first Friday and Saturday of each February, the junior class hosts the Punahou Carnival.[13] Proceeds from this Carnival contribute to the Financial Aid program. The event is an entertainment highlight each year in Honolulu.[14]
Holoku Pageant is an annual celebration of the Hawaiian culture and arts. Students perform Hawaiian dances in traditional costumes, from lovely hula to intimidating ha'a.[15]
Sustainability Fair began in 2007 and includes on-campus conservation challenges, as well as off-campus coastline preservation. On Rice Field, classes set up canopies to showcase sustainable undertakings and projects, often including local produce sales and informational handouts.[16][17]
To celebrate the school's homecoming, students, faculty, and teachers surround, then ignite a 20 foot letter "P" at dusk. This event is preceded by a Spirit Week, where students dress and parade creatively.
Seniors can look forward to their Variety Show, written and performed by the graduating class during the carnival. This play usually involves most of the class, over 300 students. Seniors also have Prom at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel, Skip Day at the Kikila Estate and Pounders Beach, Baccalaureate ceremonies at Central Union Church, Commencement with men in blue blazers and women in formal white Hawaiian dresses, and a senior lunch during the last couple weeks of school. Graduates who started Punahou in Kindergarten are designated as members of the Thirteen Plus Club.
The school hosts an Alumni Luau on campus during June that the newly graduated class can enjoy with other alumni classes whose graduation year ends in the same number. Each year, a different alumni class puts on the luau, and it is a fun event with music, great Hawaiian food, and volunteer work from underclassmen.
Throughout most of the school's history, elementary school children have been allowed to attend in bare feet. Aloha shirts were once restricted to Fridays, but dress codes were relaxed considerably during the late Seventies. Now, outfits for boys include t-shirts, collared shirts, swim shorts, jeans, and shorts. Girls wear dresses, long skirts, t-shirts, and jeans. Footwear is mandatory in the academy.
All schools in Honolulu (public or private) have an urban residential location. Nearby buildings include apartment buildings, private houses, a retirement home, a Catholic school (Maryknoll School), several small churches, and two hospitals.
Punahou shares the entrance to Manoa Valley with the University of Hawaii main campus and a few other schools such as Mid-Pacific Institute.
Punahou students are a few minutes away from the trail to Manoa Falls, the beaches at Ala Moana and Waikiki, downtown Honolulu, Lyon Arboretum, and the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
The school's location provides many opportunities for off-campus learning: field trip destinations for middle school students have regularly included the Bishop Museum, Waikiki Aquarium, Waikiki Shell, Waikiki Natatorium War Memorial, Kawaiahaʻo Church, Sea Life Park, USS Arizona Memorial, Valley of the Temples Memorial Park, Fort Ruger at Diamond Head, Hanauma Bay, Honolulu Museum of Art, Honolulu Zoo, Iolani Palace, Hawaii State Capitol, and the famous beaches on Oahu's North Shore. Clubs and classes often organize trips to neighboring islands, especially to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and Kohala Coast on the big island of Hawaii.
Tuition is $20,000 for the 2012–2013 school year,[18] not including student activity fees. Punahou has long been regarded as an expensive school among locals, but comparable Harvard Westlake School and Sidwell Friends School charge well over $30,000 in tuition, with day tuition at Deerfield Academy near $35,000, Choate Rosemary Hall approaching $40,000, and Groton School above $40,000.[19][20][21][22][23][24]
Tuition does not cover the entire cost of the education of a student, and this "deficit" is met by the school's endowment.[25][26] Punahou reports its FY2012 endowment at $204M.[27] The raw value of the land is considerable for a private school: land values in lower Manoa Valley routinely exceed $1M/.3 acre,[28] making Punahou's 76 acres worth as much as its endowment. Although these figures are high among mainland U.S. private schools, Honolulu also has Iolani School with a comparable endowment (twice the endowment per pupil), and Kamehameha Schools has a $5B to $9B endowment (30 times the endowment per pupil) with a larger physical plant.[29] (Maui has Seabury Hall which has twice the endowment per pupil, but is a much smaller school.)[30]
Summer school academic classes, training in music and dance, and sports camps are offered at all grade levels (K-12). Courses include Recycling through Art ($500, grades 3-5), Chess Tactics ($250, grades 3-12), Language of Hawaii ($200, grades 7-8), Self-Defense ($175, grades 9-12), and JROTC Leadership Camp ($75, grades 9-12). With modest fees, Punahou's summer school is able to serve a broad population of island children.
In a recent study of the class of 1979,[31] 8 graduates had earned degrees from Harvard, 3 had degrees from Princeton, 1 from Yale, 14 from Stanford, 17 from UC Berkeley, and 26 (total) from Ivy League schools.[32] 15 had a PhD, 22 had an MD, 39 had a JD, 18 had the MBA, 10 had the DDS, DMD, DVM, or ND (about one quarter of the class reaching terminal degrees). At least five had joined the armed services, four as officers. Degrees were also obtained from Tufts, Williams, Trinity College (Connecticut), Wesleyan, MIT, Caltech, University of Chicago, Notre Dame, Mount Holyoke, Rice, Harvey Mudd, Georgetown, and Northwestern. Two went to the Naval Academy. Three went to the Sorbonne, and others to elite art schools like Cranbrook Academy of Art, and music schools like the San Francisco Conservatory. Many athletes were recruited into outstanding athletic programs, especially at West Coast schools like USC, UCLA, Pepperdine, and Stanford.[33]
Schools throughout California, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and Nevada are also popular among graduates, and many students choose to attend local schools like the University of Hawaii and Chaminade.
The class of 2012 had 30 of the state's 70 National Merit Semifinalists.[34] The class of 2013 had twenty semifinalists, and five of the state's ten National Merit Scholars.[35][36]
Punahou's 30 Presidential Scholars were graduates of the classes of '64, '66, '70, '71, '75, '78 (two members), '79, '82, '84 (two members), '85, '86 (two members), '91, '92 (two members), '93, '95, '96, '98, '01, '02, '04 (three members), '05, '06, '08, and '11.[37][38]
The school repeatedly stresses in its publications that it emphasizes character over academics and athletics.
The campus map lists:
With about 5000 faculty, students, and staff in 44 buildings on 76 acres,[39] Punahou is not a sparsely populated school.
Before plans were made for a new middle school complex, America Online founder and alumnus Steve Case ('76) donated ten million dollars.[40] This led to construction of a new middle school for grades six through eight. The Case Middle School was actually named after the donor's parents.[41]
The project earned the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Gold certification[42][43] and a Project of the Year award in Hawaiian Electric Company's Energy Efficiency Awards.[44][45]
Sensors shut off air conditioners if windows are opened to let in the breeze; the buildings are designed to take full use of the tradewinds, with the help of the Venturi effect. There are also sensors in place that turn the lights on or off depending on whether motion is detected, and dim the lights on sunny days or brighten them on overcast or cloudy ones.
Air conditioning for the buildings is provided by three ice-making plants, one for each grade level's section. The units freeze and accumulate ice at night when electricity is cheaper, and allow the ice to melt during the day to cool the air.
Case Middle School consists of nine buildings with a total cost of roughly $50 million USD, made possible solely through donations.[43]
In late 2010 a new five-building indoor/outdoor section of campus opened for Punahou's youngest students.[46] It was constructed and operated with sustainable living as a principal goal, and the curriculum has a focus on sustainability. With solar energy, efficient landscaping, rain catchment and eco-friendly materials, the complex received a platinum rating from the U.S. Green Building Council.[47]
Teachers are encouraged to personalize their classroom spaces,[48] and each of the 12 rooms has its own outdoor area that is one-third the size of the interior space to which it is attached.
The total cost was $26 million. Individual buildings are named the Mountain House, Forest House, and City House, and historic Wilcox Hall retains its traditional name. Board of Trustee member and ebay founder Pierre Omidyar ('84*) donated six million dollars to the project.
The Punahou athletics program is the most successful in the state. It has won more state championships than any other high school in the nation.
Punahou football plays the second half of its season at the Aloha Stadium (where the Pro Bowl and Aloha Bowl are played).[49] In Fall 2014, the varsity football team has been ranked as high as 15th in the nation.[50]
Athletic facilities include the olympic-size Waterhouse Pool, a football field, a baseball diamond, two softball diamonds, and an eight-lane track. The school also has a fieldhouse for competitive athletics, an open-air weightlifting facility, a gymnasium for physical education and intramural sports, and a tennis center with eight hard surface courts.[51] Rocky Hill has been used as a live firing range for JROTC and competitive target sports. Air riflery uses an indoor firing range.[52]
Students need two athletic credits to graduate, which is a total of four semesters. They can earn these credits through P.E. and ILH sports.[53]
Students compete in 22 sports, including air riflery, baseball, basketball. bowling, canoe paddling, cross country, cheerleading, football, golf, gymnastics, judo, kayaking, riflery, sailing, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, volleyball, water polo, and wrestling. Punahou has approximately 120 sports teams. The school is a member of the Interscholastic League of Honolulu.
Punahou teams earned twenty championship teams in 2009–2010, out of about 30 varsity I teams fielded.
State Championships[54][55] | |||
Season | Sport | Number of Championships | Year |
Fall | Football | 2 + 12 | 2008, 2013 *State championship bowl instituted in 1973. Prior to 1973, Punahou had 19 ILH championships. As the OIA was founded in 1940, the ILH championships of 1909-1917, 1919-1920, and 1924 can be considered "state" or "island" championships. Punahou is 2-3 in the state bowl against OIA opponents. |

Punahou requires all students (K - 12) to attend chapel once a week, where each homeroom is assigned its own seating and attendance is taken. In addition, academy students attend a mandatory, weekly assembly to listen to announcements or watch student performances.
Intermediate school students are taught Hawaiian History, Christian Ethics, and Oceanography. Academy students have coursework in Asian History between their years of European History and US History. Punahou offers French, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Latin, and Hawaiian as languages starting in middle school.
Students have access to a jewelry studio, a pottery studio, glass-blowing facilities, technology departments, a new dance pavilion, and a dedicated music building. The campus has spaces for school-wide initiatives, e.g., for public service and international studies.
The high school yearbook, The Oahuan, has won awards from the American Scholastic Press Association.[56] Na O Pio is the yearbook for K-8. Ka Wai Ola is the school's long-running student literary publication. Ka Punahou is a biweekly student newspaper, and Punahou Bulletin is the alumni magazine.
Punahou has a strong history of academic competition with its math team and debate team, and at times has had organizations for computing, chess, and gaming. Punahou's JROTC program has been known for its award-winning close order drill team with multi-person aerials using M1 Garand rifles.
Enrichment activities have included cultural clubs, dance and theater, funding and service committees, outdoor, environmental, and hiking clubs, pep clubs, and clubs based on sports such as martial arts and synchronized swimming. There are men's, women's and mixed choruses, a concert orchestra, and various band groups. Hui Le'a Nani (literally, "heavenly singers") is the name of the elite choral group.

He received honorary degrees from eleven major universities, but when he died in 1914 the Honolulu Mail announced simply: 'The great scholar was educated at Punahou.' None of the rest really mattered." (Michener, Hawaii)
"Gramps grabbed me by the arm. 'Hell, Bar,' he whispered, 'this isn't a school. This is heaven.'" (Obama, Dreams from My Father)
"... I wanted a station wagon like the family in The Brady Bunch. I wanted to go steady with someone like Marcia or Jan, girls who dressed mod and spoke cool. My new school was full of girls like Marcia and Jan. I'd just started seventh grade at Punahou ... ." (Wright, Punahou Blues)
In the Descendants, Sid, who sympathizes with Alex's grieving a mother's loss, declares that he is "Vice President of the Punahou chess club" after being accused of being "a hundred miles away from Smartville" by Matt (George Clooney's character).

In the current Hawaii Five O TV series, Charlie Fong, the "extremely capable lab technician"[76] is revealed to be a Punahou graduate.
"The beauty ... of Hawaiian scenery is a noble teacher. ... It will make you better men and women if you will let it. Get all of it you can. Your special gaieties, parties, and things are of no account whatever compared with the ministry of mountain and sea. Listen to them, approach and live with them all you can. Hear and heed the great silent teachers about you."[77] 1888 Letter from General S. C. Armstrong
"Dream big dreams is my best advice. People usually sell themselves short ... When ambitions are all geared towards material goods and money, I think it displays a poverty of ambition ... The world is big ... and everybody here could be doing so much in whatever field is interesting to you. If you're into medicine, your dream should be how to cure AIDS or cancer; if you're interested in the law, you should aim for the Supreme Court; if you're into music, you should want to have hit #1 on the Billboard charts or write a symphony. The world offers so many opportunities, and I think all of you have so much potential and so much talent; it's just a matter of digging deep. Once you have dreamed those big dreams, you'll have to work hard to achieve them. There's nothing wrong with hard work." 2004 Chapel Address by Senator-Elect Barack Obama, Jr.[78]
"With you rides humanity's best hope. For who of your generation anywhere has had a better start? Who at this stage, anywhere in the world, is better qualified? Your generation will win its gold medals, its Pulitzers, its Nobels. Why not you? Your generation will produce its important and enduring work. Why not yours? From your generation will come those who relieve suffering, stand up to injustice, beat back ignorance, write the great books, sing the great arias, forge a lasting peace. Why not you?" 1999 Baccalaureate Address by Punahou English teacher David McCullough, Jr. (now infamous for the "You Are Not Special" commencement speech at a prestigious Boston area high school in 2012)
Oʻahu A
Oʻahu a, Oʻahu a
Punahou, our Punahou;
Mau a Mau, oh mau a mau,
Punahou, our Punahou.
Throughout the years we've shown our light,
We glory in Oʻahu's might;
The Buff and Blue's a glorious sight,
Punahou, our Punahou.
The song is sung to the tune of Maryland, My Maryland also known as "O Tannenbaum". The spelling is from the original words to "Oahu A" written in 1902 by a student.[citation needed]
Ready? Hit it!
Strawberry Shortcake, Huckleberry Pie
Punahou, Punahou, Yes, Yes, Yes!
Are We In It? Well I Guess!
This cheer is typically shouted by the marching band and cheerleaders at Punahou, at events such as football games and other sports activities and gatherings.
Punahou doesn't have an official mascot. The symbol that perhaps most closely qualifies as a school mascot is the hala tree, whose image is used in the school's seal. Fans often refer to athletic teams as the "Sons of Oahu", or "Buff & Blue" (It was in 1890 that the colors buff and blue officially became Punahou's school colors depicting the hues of the sand and the sea. Back in 1890, long before the development of high-rises and hotels in Waikiki, all that was visible in the distance from the top of Punahou's campus was the buff-colored sand and blue-colored sea of Waikiki Beach which is probably why the colors buff and blue were chosen. - Dean Zane '78)

Arizona Cardinals
MMQB: Cardinals' Todd Bowles considered among top minority head coaching candidates
By the end of the 2012 season, Todd Bowles had all but worn out his welcome in the City of Brotherly Love.
After taking over as the Philadelphia Eagles' defensive coordinator on an interim basis mid-season, the team dropped nine of their last 10 games and allowed an average of 32.9 points per game.
When Chip Kelly took over as Eagles' new head coach, Bowles was not asked to return and frankly no one really batted an eye at the decision.
But what a difference a year can make.
Now serving as the Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator, Bowles' 2013 performance -- Cardinals ranked No. 1 in rush defense, No. 7 in total defense and No. 8 in points allowed -- has earned him recognition that would have seemed almost impossible just a season ago.
As MMQB.com detailed in its daily newsletter, after 14 straight white head coaches and general manager were hired last year, the NFL enlisted the help of an eight-person panel made up of former GMs and coaches -- including Bill Polian, Tony Dungy, Ron Wolf and John Madden -- to create a list of notable coaching and GM candidates for future hires, with an emphasis on minorities.
While the Career Development Advisory Panel's final list has not yet been revealed, according to MMQB.com, Bowles, Lovie Smith, Jim Caldwell, Mel Tucker and former Arizona defensive coordinator Ray Horton are among the committee's top candidates.
The 50-year-old defensive coordinator played nine seasons in the NFL with Washington Redskins and San Francisco 49ers before becoming a coach in 1996. Bowles' lone head coaching experience came back in 2011, when he served on an interim basis for the Miami Dolphins. He went 2-1 in the team's final three games.

Chartiers Valley sets budget timeline
The Chartiers Valley School Board set up a proposed timeline at its April 23 meeting for adopting and approving the 2013-14 budget.
District officials plan to adopt a proposed budget at the May 14 board meeting. The proposed budget will be released to the public June 5.
The public will have just under three weeks to inspect the proposed budget, with the board giving a notice of intent to adopt on June 15. The board aims to officially adopt a final budget at the June 25 meeting.
Calling all architects and engineers
The district is looking for CV community members who are engineers or architects to sit on a volunteer advisory team.
In the fall, the school board hired Architectural Innovations to study the architectural and engineering aspects of the district's facilities. The agency will make recommendations based on the study as to how the district can continue to maintain or improve the facilities. District officials are seeking input from community experts as school officials look at their options.
To apply, email email@example.com your full name, credentials, current employer and whether there could be any personal benefit from any potential CV design changes or facility updates.
The advisory team will meet in June to look at Architectural Innovation's recommendations. The team will provide feedback and, in turn, make a recommendation to the school board and administration.
The board approved the resignation of the varsity girls basketball coach, the assistant varsity wrestling coach and the school nurse. The district did not release the reasons for resignations.
In addition, the board approved a middle school cheer coach or the fall and the winter, a high school yearbook sponsor, assistant football coach and additions to the list of instructional and non-instructional substitutes.

Being an international model was it difficult to see your body change when you became pregnant? How have you dealt with your post-pregnancy body? Do you have any tips for getting back into shape after giving birth?To be honest, I completely embraced what was happening to my body during my pregnancy... It was post pregnancy where I had to battle the self-confidence bug. It takes time to get back into shape (especially when you've just had a baby and technically have no free time). I travelled to England six weeks after I had Luke so I had to be very disciplined with my eating plan as I didn't have too much time to myself for gym. Best thing though is to eat well, gym when you can, sleep when you can and try not to put too much pressure on yourself.How has having children changed your life and career?Life is crazy busy! From a work perspective, certain things changed. I don't quite have as much time to work as hard or as much as I used to but I feel very well balanced. We travel every year to England for Neil's cricket so life is pretty nonstop but I love it!Is it difficult splitting your life between South Africa and London? Do you see yourself coming back to South Africa permanently one day?It can be pretty tough going backwards and forwards to England every year, especially as the kiddies start getting older. Luke will be starting "big school" next year which complicates issues somewhat so from next year we have to assess school terms and holidays and work it out from there. We'll be back permanently soon, although I get very itchy feet - the travel bug always bites! After spending so many years in the modelling industry, what would you say to your daughter becoming a model? Would you support her or are you wary of the industry?I've been asked this question many times actually and if Riley came up to me before she was 16, I would say no... Thereafter, I would allow her the opportunity to try and then decide for herself. I would be very present though as my mom was with me! What is it like to be in the same industry as your sister? Have you two worked together before?Oh, yes. Tracy and I have worked together quite a few times and they were always really fun days! Funny enough, the closest thing to sibling rivalry we have was borrowing each other's clothes without asking... We fully support one another and have never really felt like we were in "competition" with each other. I'm proud of all my family, one in a million! Tell us about your career at the moment? Where can we look out for you/ expect to see you in the near future?It's winter at home and I'm in England so I take this time of the year off, so to speak. Summer and season are on their way and I'll happily get back into the swing of things and enjoy spending time in Cape Town; I always do quite a lot of modelling then... I have the Brut campaign on TV right now I believe, so keep a look out for it! I am also involved in an antibullying campaign and do work with Children's Charity Foundation among others.What advice would you give to young girls hoping to start a modelling career?My advice to young girls is first and most importantly, only do what lies within your comfort zone. Be yourself and try not to take it personally (when castings don't go your way). Remember that most of the time it doesn't happen overnight! Finish school! The glitz and glamour you see is a very small margin of the reality of this job. It's hard work. The experiences can be incredibly rewarding so stick it out, as long as you're happy though of course.If you could write a letter to yourself when you were younger, what would you say?Dear Kerry, Listen to your mother!Kind regards, SelfFollow Kerry on Twitter.Follow Women24 on Twitter and like us on Facebook.
