\u200bThe Maui High School Foundation will receive a $10 million endowment from an alumni, the largest single monetary donation in the school\u2019s history, the school announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is a monumental moment for our school and we are so grateful. When I told my foundation staff about it, they were very emotional,\u201d Maui High School principal Jamie Yap said in a news release, adding that the donor wished to remain anonymous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis endowment will ensure that our students are able to pursue their educational passions during and beyond high school, a gift that will keep on giving for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yap said the endowment will be received by the Maui High School Foundation and be used to aid students in multiple ways \u2014 through investments in band, athletics, STEM, Career and Technical Educational pathways, arts, foreign language, special education and other areas. The endowment will also create scholarships for seniors to pursue college and vocational careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe endowment will also encourage expanding the foundation\u2019s database and its ability to connect with former graduates,\u201d Yap said. \u201cWe are currently creating a foundation office on campus to be more accessible to our community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maui High School has an enrollment of 1,826 students, the largest high school on Maui and one of the top 10 largest public high schools in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
