Moloka'i High School is located on a 27-acre (110,000 m2) expanse in a Hawaiian Homestead community approximately seven miles from Kaunakakai town where the state and county offices, hospitals, doctors' offices, banks, library, family-owned grocery stores and gas stations are located. All four elementary schools and one intermediate school feed into this single public high school on Moloka'i. During the 2004–2005 school year, the Department of Education separated the Intermediate School from the High School, creating two distinct schools on the Ho'olehua campus.

Moloka'i High School is a voluntary member of the Maui Interscholastic League due to the lack of other major high schools on the island of Moloka'i.
