This is the site of the LDS Hawaii Mission School
where President David O. McKay, then member of
the Church's Quorum of the Twelve Apostles,
witnessed a flag raising ceremony on February 7, 1921.
Observing the multi-ethnic student body representing
the peoples of the Pacific, Elder McKay was impressed
with the great need these young people had for
education, both to enrich their own lives as well as to
bless the Church. This event was the catalyst for the
Church College of Hawaii, now Brigham Young
University - Hawaii.

This school and its buildings were constructed about
1915. The operation of
the school was
transferred to the
Territory of Hawaii in
August of 1927 and
subsequently moved
to the site of Laie
Elementary School.
