Hilo High School

In 1907, the school moved to the present District Annex location. It was then called Hilo Junior High School. By the time the first class graduated in 1909, only 7 of the original 25 were left. The school stayed at that location for 15 years.
Finally in 1922, Hilo Junior High School moved up Waianuenue Avenue to its present location. The only building on campus was the Makai Building. Since that time there have been many changes in the buildings and facilities over the years. The "wild jungle" of guava trees made way for the Mauka Building and the Auditorium Building and the patio area today was then only a gully full of weeds.
