INTERSCHOLASTIC LEAGUE OF HONOLULU

The 'Interscholastic League of Honolulu' or 'ILH' is an athletic conference composed of private secondary schools in Honolulu, Hawai'i. The ILH was founded in 1909 with Punahou, Kamehameha and McKinley High School making up the original membership. A number of public and private institutions joined soon after to bolster membership. Along with the large number of private institutions that composed the membership of the ILH, there were five public high schools situated in Honolulu that were original members of the league - Farrington High School, Kaimuki High School, McKinley High School, Roosevelt High School and Kalani High School. In 1970, these five schools left the ILH to join the Oahu Interscholastic Association, a league comprising all the rural public secondary schools on the island, leaving the ILH membership composed solely of private institutions. Today, the ILH comprises 26 private schools with over 7500 students participating in 22 different sports including football, baseball, basketball, soccer, canoe paddling, kayaking, air riflery, water polo, judo, cheerleading, gymnastics, and sailing.
Tournaments hosted by the Interscholastic League of Honolulu have always been some of the most popular events in the State of Hawaii. Events such as the old Thanksgiving Day football game would annually draw crowds upwards of 20,000 to Honolulu Stadium to watch the league crown its champion. Although the Turkey Day Game has long been defunct, avid fans still often commute from neighbor islands to O'ahu to attend conference games in a wide range of sports. The Interscholastic League of Honolulu is governed by a set of by-laws that cover aspects such as: eligibility of students, age limits, academic standing, sports participation, outside participation rules and a codified transfer policy between teams.
As a large number of schools in the ILH have very small enrollment numbers, many schools cannot field teams that require a large number of players such as football, baseball, wrestling, etc. In response to this problem and to give their students a chance to compete in these sports, these schools pool their players together and play under the moniker Pac-Five. Pac-Five fields a team in all major sports sponsored by the ILH.
