Puunene School, Historic school building in Puunene, Hawaii.
The two-story concrete Puunene School features nineteen classrooms and two administrative offices across its 10.9-acre property in central Maui.
Built in 1922 by the Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Company, the school replaced a smaller structure and grew to accommodate 1000 students at its peak.
The school building reflects the Classical Revival architecture style and represents the educational development of Maui's plantation communities in the twentieth century.

In 1937, science teacher Soichi Sakamoto established the Three Year Swim Club, training students who later achieved national swimming recognition.
