History
Laupahoehoe School was started in 1904 for students from the Hamakua Coastal Sugar Cane Communities and fishing communities. The high school was established in the 1930s.
The school, originally was located on Laupahoehoe peninsula, but was destroyed by the April Fools' Day tsunami on April 1, 1946. Due to the tsunami, the old school building at Laupāhoehoe was inundated, and twenty students and four teachers drowned. A monument to the dead now stands on Laupāhoehoe Point. In 1948, a new campus was built at its present location.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“the future is simply nothing at all. Nothing has happened to the present by becoming past except that fresh slices of existence have been added to the total history of the world. The past is thus as real as the present.”
—Charlie Dunbar Broad (1887–1971)
“The history of the Victorian Age will never be written: we know too much about it.”
—Lytton Strachey (1880–1932)
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
