The school, originally was located on Laupāhoehoe 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.
