From the Haleakala Times -- It's been twenty years since Hawai‘i's first Hawaiian Language Immersion Program opened its doors. Today, four Maui schools offer this program (in addition to a preschool program called Punana Leo). The four schools are: Paia Elementary, Princess Nahienaena Elementary in Lahaina, Kalama Intermediate School in Makawao and Kekaulike High School in Kula.
In the early 1980's, a group of parents, educators, Hawaiians and Hawaiians-at-heart came together to address a collective concern – the fading of a beautiful culture due, primarily, to the rapidly shrinking number of native speakers. For history has proved that when a language is lost, the culture itself soon follows.
