More on Punahou School
Description from Wikipedia:
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 3,750 students attending the school, in kindergarten through the twelfth grade, it is the largest independent school in the United States.
In 2006, Punahou School was ranked as the "greenest" school in America. The student body is diverse, with student selection based on both academic and non-academic considerations. In 2008 and 2009, its sports program was ranked by Sports Illustrated as the best in the country out of 38,000 high schools. Along with academics and athletics, Punahou also offers visual and performing arts programs. Students have access to a jewelry studio, a pottery studio, a photography darkroom, and glass-blowing facilities. The Punahou marching band goes on a trip once every four years, and most recently they participated in the 2009 inauguration of President Barack Obama, an alumnus of the school ('79). The student yearbook, The Oahuan, has won national awards from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association and the American Scholastic Press Association, including the first Columbia Gold to be awarded in the State for the 2002 Oahuan.
The 115801 Punahou is an asteroid named in the school's honor. ==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.
