The high school established its 9th grade class first in 1997. Each year the subsequent grades were added, and the campus enlarged, to accommodate the first graduating class in 2001. A football stadium was added in 2003.
The school was built on 50 acres (200,000 m2) in the Kealakehe ahupuaa (traditional land division) at coordinates 19°40′13″N 155°59′53″W / 19.67028°N 155.99806°W / 19.67028; -155.99806Coordinates: 19°40′13″N 155°59′53″W / 19.67028°N 155.99806°W / 19.67028; -155.99806, on the slope of Hualālai. Kealakehe Intermediate School and Kealakehe Elementary School are also located nearby. The Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park and Honokōhau Harbour are downhill from the schools. The name means "the winding path" in the Hawaiian Language.
Kealakehe High School has been led by Principal Wilfred Murakami throughout its history. Kealakehe High Schools' rival is Konawaena High School.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
