5 Historic Timeline Long ago, according to legend, an aged Hawaiian couple lived on the slope of Rocky Hill, above the present campus, and had to travel far for water. They prayed for a spring. In a dream answering their prayers, they were told to uproot the stump of an old hala tree. They did as they were told and found a spring of clear, sweet water, which they named Ka Punahou, the New Spring. This legend lives on in the Punahou seal with the hala tree and two taro leaves.

The School was founded as a result of two gifts: the gift of land from Hawaiian ali‘i and the gift of an educational vision from Protestant missionaries.

1829 At the suggestion of Queen Ka‘ahumanu, O‘ahu’s Governor Boki and his wife Liliha gave the lands of Ka Punahou to the Reverend and Mrs. Hiram Bingham, members of the first group of missionaries from the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions based in Boston, Massachusetts.

May 1841 Members of the Sandwich Islands Mission founded a school for their children at Punahou, on land which the Binghams had given their fellow missionaries.

July 11, 1842 Fifteen children met for the first time in Punahou’s original E-shaped building with the Reverend Daniel Dole, first teacher and president. By the end of that first year, 34 children of the Sandwich Island Mission were enrolled, only one over 12 years old. Tuition was $12 per term and the school year covered three terms.

1849 The school obtains its first charter of incorporation from the Hawaiian government. Punahou opened its doors to all races and religions.

May 23, 1853 Punahou is granted an expanded charter as a nonprofit, nonsectarian institution.

1857 — 1934 The school’s official name was Oahu College.

1878 Six students were members of the school’s first graduating class.

1890 “Oahu wa” became the first school yell and school colors of Buff and Blue were chosen, reflecting the hues of beach and ocean.

1932 The first smallish version of the Carnival and Variety Show was held, evolving from “Campus Day,” begun in 1922.

1941 The centennial celebration of the school was celebrated by a spectacular pageant, depicting the history of Punahou. Six months later, Pearl Harbor was bombed and for the next four years, Punahou was occupied by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

September 10, 1945 The Engineers returned the Punahou campus to its owners.

1994 Dr. James Kapae‘alii Scott ’70 was appointed the 16th president of Punahou School, the first alumnus since William Dewitt Alexander in the 19th century.

2015 — 2016 Punahou commemorated the 175th anniversary of its founding with events all over the world and special projects such as the anniversary book, KAPUNAHOU, and the World Wide Toast.

2019 Dr. Michael E. Latham ’86 begins his tenure as the 17th president of Punahou School on July 1, after an accomplished academic career as an educator and college administrator. Latham assumed the position upon the retirement of James Scott ’70.

August 14, 2019 Punahou opens the school year with 3,750 students, Kindergarten through grade 12.
