Hilo High School
Hilo High School is a public, co-educational high school operated by the Hawaii State Department of Education, and serves grades nine through twelve. Established in 1906, its first class graduated in 1909.
Hilo High School is near the Wailuku River in Hawaii County on the Big Island of Hawaii, United States. The campus boasts the black marble terrazzo and gray gravel sculpture Matrix by Ken Shutt.
The school is situated at 556 Waianuenue Avenue on across the street from Hilo Intermediate School, one of its two feeder schools, the other being Kalanianaole Intermediate School. Hilo's symbol and mascot is the Viking and its school colors are blue and gold. Hilo High School celebrated its centennial during the Homecoming presentation of 2006. Hilo High School's crosstown rivals are the Warriors of Waiakea High School.
Hilo High School was started by the school authorities in September 1905. The idea for a high school is attributed to Josephine Deyo, principal of Hilo Union School. The weak public interest eventually grew stronger as the public realized the benefits from a high school in Hilo, Hawaii. At the time, the only High Schools on the island were Kau High and Pahala Elementary School and Honokaa High & Intermediate School, both over 30 miles away in rural sugar communities that were disconnected from most of the island and were only accessible by railroad. Most students who wished to attend high school went to boarding school in Honolulu, Hawaii.
The school changed location in 1907 to the District Annex location and was then named Hilo Junior High School. It was moved yet again in 1922 to its present location on Waianuenue Avenue.
In 2010, an environmental assessment was released regarding the construction of a new gym. The new gym would be provided as an alternative to the other gym located on-campus, which would be used for physical education classes. In 2012, funds were released by then-governor Neil Abercrombie to construct the facility, which began in the same year. The building was planned to be finished by September 2014, but was delayed due to issues with paving. The building was opened in December of that year, with a grand opening happening in April 2015. The building is designated as an emergency shelter and is LEED certified.
In December 2023, construction started on the resurfacing of the track and field facility, which had been planned since 2017. The project, costing $11 million, consisted of replacing the previous track with an all new track and field made of artificial turf. On March 5, 2025, the facility was blessed with a traditional Hawaiian blessing.
In 2024, the school was ranked #7,392 in National Rankings on the U.S. News & World Report.
