WAILUKU, Maui — Hawaii’s newest school is celebrating its first year.
Puu Kukui Elementary opened last year with more than 500 central Maui students in kindergarten through fifth grade.
A celebration Friday will also include a dedication ceremony on the school’s central lawn.
Superintendent Kathryn Matayoshi says staff and students have lived up to the school’s name, which means hill of enlightenment.
