History and tradition

Founded in 1841, Punahou School was originally a school for the children of Congregational missionaries serving throughout the Pacific region. It was known as Oahu College from 1859 to 1934. Congregational churches are Protestant Christian churches practicing congregationalist church governance, in which each congregation indepedently and autonomously runs its own affairs. ... A missionary is a propagator of religion, often an evangelist or other representative of a religious community who works among those outside of that community. ... Pacific redirects here. ...

The land on which Punahou School sits (colloquially known as Ka Punahou) was given as a gift from Oahu's Governor Boki and his wife, Liliha (as suggested by Queen Kaʻahumanu) to the Rev. Hiram Bingham, the first Christian missionary in Hawaiʻi. The first class was held on July 11, 1842 and consisted of only fifteen students. The school was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.^[10] Many traditional events take place on the campus. On the first Friday and Saturday of each February, the campus hosts the annual Punahou Carnival, whose proceeds benefit the Financial Aid program.^[11] The campus also hosts the Alumni Luau Weekend, where alumni come together and meet. The new graduates were invited as well. Kaâ€˜ahumanu served as Queen Regent of the Kingdom of Hawaiâ€˜i during the terms of Kamehameha II and Kamehameha III.

Case Middle School

Before plans were made for a new middle school complex, America Online founder and Punahou School graduate of 1976 Steve Case donated ten million dollars. ^[12] This led to construction of a new middle school for grades six through eight.^[13] The Case Middle School was actually named in honor of Steve Case's parents. To meet Wikipedias quality standards, this article may require cleanup. ... Steve Case (born August 21, 1958) is a businessman best known as the co-founder and former chief executive officer and chairman of America Online (AOL). ...

The middle school was designed and built by John Hara Associates Inc. Some time into the project, the school learned about Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. The school then hired a design consultant, John Hara ('57)^[14] for sustainability^[15] and found out that they could earn the LEED Gold certification.^[16] ^[17] At the time, few projects anywhere had earned this rating. 7 World Trade Center, considered New York Citys first green office tower by gaining gold status in the U.S. Green Building Councils LEED program. ... The Earth Day flag includes a NASA photo. ...

The middle school also won the Energy Project of the Year award in the Seventh Energy Efficiency Awards, sponsored by Hawaiian Electric Company.^[18]^[19] Hawaiian Electric Industries Inc. ...

Different methods were used in addressing issues of sustainability within the building. Installed sensors shut off air conditioners if windows are opened to let in the breeze; the buildings are situated 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. More efficient fluorescent lamps are used, saving 75% of the energy and lasting 13 times as long as incandescent ones. A Venturi meter is shown in a diagram, the pressure in 1 conditions is higher than 2, and the relationship between the fluid speed in 2 and 1 respectively, is the same as for pressure. ...

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.

The whole school cost more than $50 million USD and was made possible solely through donations.^[17] The new middle school opened on January 4, 2005, although the sixth graders had been using their buildings since the beginning of the 2004–2005 school year.

Legends

During the Second World War, a complex system of tunnels was built beneath the entirety of the school's campus. Today students and faculty make passing mention to "the tunnels," for they have fallen into common albeit obscured lore, even though the question of their existence has yet to be satisfied. Whether the tunnels remain, in part or in whole, has no real consensus. Some confidently claim that the network still exists in tact, others explain that it was filled with concrete decades ago, after it lost its use, but most are simply unsure. Students have yet to find an entrance to the alleged passages, an aspect of the legend that has added mystique and variant tall descriptions and tellings of an underground scene no known person alive on campus has actually experienced. Stories of what remains of and in the tunnels have been passed down by word of mouth since the late 1970s, after unexplained construction sites on campus stirred curiosity about the old wartime tunnels. Year 1970 (MCMLXX) was a common year starting on Thursday (link shows full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ...
