  • History & Memorable Moments

The school is named after real estate tycoon James Campbell who was at the forefront of Ewa's prosperous progression into a sugar cane plantation community. James Campbell immigrated from Ireland to the United States at the age of 13 and worked as a carpenter. After two years, he began work on a whaling ship in the South Pacific which became shipwrecked. Fortunately he survived this dilemma and lived in Tahiti until he boarded another whaling vessel bound for Maui, Hawaiʻi. He then ventured into real estate, buying a large arid area of land in Ewa, Oʻahu, Hawaiiʻi. Many believed his investment to be a waste of profits due to the dry and unproductive climate of Ewa, but his artesian well had changed the landscape into a thriving sugar cane plantation. From this, his legacy continues in the community, as well as in the high school. [1]

James Campbell High School was once located at a nearby school, which is presently a neighboring junior high school, ʻIlima Intermediate. Since its establishment in 1962, the school has grown throughout the years to accommodate the increasing population of the Ewa area. James Campbell High School is currently the second largest school (in terms of population) in the Leeward District of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi. [1]
