I think since sometime in the twenties? I know it was around for world war II because there is a memorial of students who went there who went to war, And I think it was up before that war too. There are tunnels under it that lead across the street, they were there as escape/bomb shelter type things.

opened officially in 1841, but the land was given to us and set aside since 1829 by Queen Ka'ahumanu. (Hawaii is the only us state to ever have had a monarch.)
Tuition to go here is 16 grand a year, and it costs the school around... 20 grand a year to educate a punahou student. Allumni includes The dude who made AOL (Even we make mistakes, sorry world) among other rich bitches. Go take the virtual tour of our brand new parking garage/ middle school cause our old one was shitty.
edit: from the schools website:
The Punahou School campus sprawls across 76 acres at the edge of lush Manoa Valley. Students dart in and out of nearly 30 school buildings, including three libraries and learning centers; computer areas and language labs; an impressive physical education facility that includes a gymnasium, 50-meter pool, Mondo track, playing fields, tennis courts, and weight and training facilities; and art facilities including jewelry, ceramics and glassblowing.
But more than just houses of learning and activity, the buildings themselves have, at least to us, great architectural and historical significance.
The "heart" of Punahou School is Thurston Memorial Chapel, designed by Vladimir Ossipoff. The chapel was built over the historic lily pond, whose waters are fed by the legendary spring after which Punahou was named.
Another historic building is Dillingham Hall. Designed by Bertram Goodhue and built in 1929, Dillingham Hall is an elegant theatre space that provides a perfect showcase for the school's strong performing arts programs. Recently renovated, Dillingham now has its own scene shop, costume room and drama department offices.
Kirsch Gallery, given in memory of Elizabeth Kirsch Bell, '53, by her parents, exhibits works of art by students and selected artists throughout the school year. Located next to the Cooke Library entrance, the gallery is an aesthetic stop for visitors on campus, as well as a quiet place for students to view current exhibits. It is used to visually enrich the immediate Punahou community and also as an extension of the Art Department curriculum. Volunteers from the Parent Faculty Association are in attendance as hosts.
In May 1993, we opened the Wo International Center. The center opens Punahou's curriculum to a global perspective, using state-of-the-art projection and simultaneous interpretation equipment to enhance a host of language and culture programs. The facility was built through the generosity of alumni brothers James C. and Robert Ching Wo. Construction of a schoolwide instructional and administrative fiber-optic network in 1996 further augmented the capabilities of the Wo International Center. Punahou facilities include nine computer laboratories throughout the school as well as many classroom computers. Thanks to a gift from the Morita family, the Wo International Center is also equipped with distance learning and teleconferencing. This enables our students to develop their global skills as they interact with other cultures.
Located in Bishop Hall, the Visual Production Center provides teachers and students with consultation and facilities for the design and production of instructional materials. Originally designed curricular materials such as charts, programs, over-head projectors, art for slides and learning displays are prepared in the Media Design workroom. Duplicating Room personnel provide duplication, collating and binding for classroom materials.
Our Video/Audio Production Center supports instruction through a variety of audio and video tape production services. Mixing, editing and duplicating tapes are a few of the services offered to teachers. A five-channel cable system allows teachers to receive instructional programs in classrooms from the School's video collection, off-air and via satellite downlink. The Television Studio supports video productions by teachers and students. A mobile television van is equipped for video production on location. Students are encouraged to use the production facilities, media services, materials and equipment for classroom projects within established guidelines. Media specialists are available to assist each project.
The Julia Ing Learning Center, located in the Winne Units, has been designed and built to serve the needs of K-4 students and their teachers. Open from 7:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., the learning center's collection includes 20,000 books as well as audio visual materials and periodicals of interest to both students and faculty. Access to the collections is automated through the Dynix Scholar system. Teachers may also access the collections of Punahou's other two libraries through the Dynix Scholar system. Facilities include study spaces for students at tables, additional casual seating and access to Punahou's cable television and audio visual support equipment.
Each K-4 class has a scheduled library period for 30 minutes once every 6-day cycle during which the librarian conducts various activities focusing on children's literatures. The teacher is present at this time to assist and supervise students. Special study or research sessions for a class may be scheduled upon teacher request.
Located in Bishop Hall, Bishop Learning Center, serves as the multimedia center for grades 5-8. The Center is an attractively designed facility, a place where students and faculty can use a wide variety of resources in a comfortable setting. An integrated core collection of over 28,000 print and non-print materials that support the curriculum at all four grade levels is accessible through the Dynix Scholar system. Extensive information files containing newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and other materials, plus a collection of over 130 periodicals, provide current materials for research projects.
Centrally located in the Academy, Cooke Library serves students in grades 9-12 as well as faculty, administrators, and alumni. A core collection of 42,000 books and extensive pamphlet and ephemeral files are accessed through the Dynix Scholar system. A wide variety of CD-ROM and on-line databases are available for student use, as is modem access to Punahou's other two libraries, the Hawai`i State Library System and the University of Hawai`i Libraries. The Lum Hawaiiana Room contains an extensive Hawaiiana collection and the School's archives, and is supervised by a full-time archivist.
Complete with the latest technologies in audio-visual resources, including simultaneous interpretation capabilities, Luke Lecture Hall holds large class gatherings in multiple educational disciplines and is used for public presentations in the evenings and on weekends.
The Science Center is our newest addition to our campus. Opened January 1999, this 60,000-square foot building is dedicated to innovative learning. Each year, more than 1,500 students, or 92% of the entire Punahou Academy, engage in a wide variety of science studies at the center. The Science Center also features the Gates Family Science Workshop, which provides a space for K-12 students to explore science in a hands-on manner.
