Leilehua High School is a public, co-educational, college preparatory high school in central Oahu, Hawaii. It is part of the Hawaii State Department of Education. Nationally recognized as a Blue Ribbon School by the United States Department of Education and fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
The school was first established in 1924. It was relocated to its present, 32 acre campus in the historic town of Wahiawa in 1949. The layout of the Leilehua facility was designed to represent openness, tranquility, and harmony with the environment. Buildings of an older vintage are blended among an abundance of trees and greenery. Classrooms, while lacking the size and sophistication of newer facilities, are airy and bright. Large windows provide adequate ventilation and natural lighting.
Approximately 50% of the student body are from military families stationed at Schofield Barracks and at the Naval Communication Station in Whitmore.
History:
1924: Schofield High and Grammar School was built on the site of King Kalakaua's hunting ground, where lehua trees flourished. The high school division was a branch of President Theodore Roosevelt High School.
1926: Leilehua's first graduating class graduates.
1928: Leilehua adopted its colors, green and gold. Green represented the pineapple fields of the area while the gold represented the actual pineapple fruit.
1929: Leilehua's first newspaper, The Sentinel, rolled off the press.
1932: Leilehua adopted the mule as its mascot, the symbol of the U.S. Army and the mascot of the United States Military Academy.
1949: The Schofield and Leilehua High Schools were combined and built on its present 32 acre (129,000 m²) site.
Today, Leilehua High School is comprised of a diverse student population of 1,800. The schools programs, facilities, and staff provide its students with excellent opportunities for educational, social, and personal growth.
