context_page_description: Maui High School is a public high school founded in 1913 in Hamakuapoko, a sugarcane plantation town on the island of Maui in Hawaii. In 1972, the school moved to its new location in Kahului, Hawaii.
context_section_description: Since 1990, Maui High School has had a large boom in academic successes. The Sabers remain one of only two public high schools in Hawaii to win the regional competition of the National Science Bowl (a total of four  times) and one of only two public schools in Hawaii to win the regional National Ocean Sciences Bowl competitions (a total of four times).
  In two years, Maui High ranked fifth then sixth at the national competition of the National Ocean Sciences Bowl - a feat unmatched by any Hawaii school until 2010 by the team from Punahou school (which finished fifth).
  Maui High has also had great success in sending students to the national olympiads of various subjects. A number of three and four year qualifiers for the National Chemistry Olympiad and National Physics Olympiad have passed through the school.
  The school has also produced a number of finalists in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. In recent years, 3rd- and 4th-place awards have been given to Maui High finalists in the physics category, in addition to one student receiving an all-expense-paid trip to the European Organization for Nuclear Research.
  The school robotics team (2443, The Blue Thunder) is another point of pride for the school. Created in 2006, the team has currently participated in three seasons with the FIRST robotics competition, as well as with the VEX robotics competition. Two separate VEX teams flying the 2443 banner qualified for the 2010 Dallas World Championships, and the 2443 FIRST team competed in the Atlanta, Georgia World Championships in 2009.
  Since 2010, Maui High has been using Senior Projects as a graduation requirement.
