Maui High School is a public high school founded in 1913 in Hamakuapoko, a sugarcane plantation town on the island of Maui in Hawaii. In 1972, the school moved to its new location in Kahului, Hawaii.
The original school was founded in 1913. Early students arrived to school via horse and buggy or the now defunct Kahului Railroad. The old school site, at 20°54′56″N 156°20′55″W / 20.91548°N 156.34854°W, includes the campus's centerpiece administration building, built in 1921 and designed by architect Charles William Dickey, which fell into disrepair. The site was nominated to the State and National Register of Historic Places. Work to restore the campus was started in 2004 by community organizations including the Friends of Old Maui High 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.
The new campus was built in 1972 at 660 South Lono Avenue in Kahului. In 2009, Maui High School had an approximate enrollment of 1816 students, and 123 faculty. Students from the 8th grade class of Maui Waena Intermediate School and Lokelani Intermediate School are scheduled to attend Maui High if they reside in Kihei or Kahului. The school mascot is the sabers and the school colors are royal blue and white.
With 120 members in the 2012–2013 school year, the marching band and color guard is Maui High School's largest student-body organization. The award-winning Sabers have performed at Disneyland, the Tournament of Roses Parade in January 2009 and 2015, and on the TV show The Office. In November 2017, the Maui High School marching band and color guard will be performing at the Bands Of America grand national championship at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.
