Punahou School, once known as Oahu College, is a private, co-educational, college preparatory school located in Honolulu CDP, City and County of Honolulu in the U.S. State of Hawaii. With about 3,760 students attending the school, in kindergarten through the twelfth grade, it is the largest independent school in the United States.

Originally founded in 1841, the school has a rich history, a wide variety of programs and many notable alumni. Along with academics and athletics, Punahou also offers visual and performing arts programs. In 2006, Punahou School was ranked as the "greenest" school in America. The student body is diverse, with student selection based on both academic and non-academic considerations. In 2008 and 2009, its sports program was ranked by ''Sports Illustrated'' as the best in the country out of 38,000 high schools.

History and tradition

In 1795, the land known as ''Ka Punahou'' was taken in battle by King Kamehameha I. Along with Ka Punahou, he gave a total of of land (from the slope of Round Top down to the current Central Union Church, which included a -tract of Kewalo Basin) to chief Kameeiamoku as a reward for his loyalty. After Kameeiamoku died, the land was passed down to his son, Ulumāheihei Hoapili, who lived there for twenty more years. When Ulumāheihei left to become the governor of Maui, he gave the land to his daughter, Kuini Liliha. Ka Punahou was given in 1829 by Oahu's Governor Boki and his wife, Liliha to Reverend Hiram Bingham, one of the first Christian missionaries in Hawaii.

Powerful leader Queen Kaahumanu was a strong supporter of the mission, and built a house for herself near the Binghams. A portion of the stone wall she had built to protect the compound from roaming cattle has been preserved. Founded in 1841, Punahou School was originally a school for the children of missionaries serving throughout the Pacific region. The first class was held on July 11, 1842, and consisted of only fifteen students. It was the first school with classes only in the English language west of the Rocky Mountains. Daniel Dole (1808–1878) was its first principal. It was known as "Oahu College" from 1853 to 1934.

The campus was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings in Oahu on August 7, 1972. During World War II, much of the Punahou campus was commandeered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers: Castle Hall (the girls' dormitory) was used as a command center, buildings were connected with tunnels, athletic fields were used as parking lots, the library was cleared to become sleeping quarters and an officer's mess. The cereus hedge on the campus lava rock wall was topped with barbed wire. Punahou students volunteered in hospitals and raised enough in war bonds to purchase two bombers and a fighter (among other airplanes) which were named after alumni who had fallen in service.

Many traditional events take place on the campus. On the first Friday and Saturday of each February, the campus hosts the Punahou Carnival, the proceeds of which benefit the Financial Aid program. Holoku Pageant is an annual day of celebration of the Hawaiian culture and arts. The campus also hosts the Alumni Luau Weekend, where alumni come together and meet. The new graduates are invited as well.

The school today

Tuition is $17,800 for the 2010-2011 school year, not including optional and mandatory fees. Tuition charges do not cover the entire cost of the education of a student, and this "deficit" is met by the school's endowment. The ''Washington Post'' estimated Punahou's endowment to be $174M; ''Bizjournals'' and ''CBS News'' put it at $180M, and ''Business Week'' recently claimed it as high as $501M. Although this figure is high among U.S. private schools, Honolulu also has Iolani School with a comparable endowment (twice the endowment per pupil), and Kamehameha Schools has a $5B to $9B endowment (30 times the endowment per pupil). (Maui has Seabury Hall which has twice the endowment per pupil, but is a much smaller school).

Case Middle School

Before plans were made for a new middle school complex, America Online founder and alumnus Steve Case ('76) donated ten million dollars. This led to construction of a new middle school for grades six through eight. The Case Middle School was actually named in honor of the donor's parents.

Sometime into the project, the school learned about Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. The school then hired a design consultant, John Hara ('57) for sustainability and found out that they could earn the LEED Gold certification. At the time, few projects anywhere had earned this rating.

The middle school also won the Energy Project of the Year award in the Seventh Energy Efficiency Awards, sponsored by Hawaiian Electric Company.

Sensors shut off air conditioners if windows are opened to let in the breeze; the buildings are designed to take full use of the tradewinds, with the help of the Venturi effect. There are also sensors in place that turn the lights on or off depending on whether motion is detected, and dim the lights on sunny days or brighten them on overcast or cloudy ones.

Air conditioning for the buildings is provided by three ice-making plants, one for each grade level's section. The units freeze and accumulate ice at night when electricity is cheaper, and allow the ice to melt during the day to cool the air.

The whole school cost more than $50 million USD and was made possible solely through donations. The new middle school opened on January 4, 2005, although the sixth graders had been using their buildings since the beginning of the 2004–2005 school year.

Case Middle School consists of nine color-coded buildings—green for sixth grade, blue for seventh, and red for eighth—on the lower east side of Punahou campus.

Omidyar K-1 Neighborhood

In late 2010 a new five-building indoor/outdoor section of campus opened for Punahou's youngest students. It was constructed and operated with sustainable living as a principal goal, and the curriculum has a focus on sustainability. With solar energy, efficient landscaping, rain catchment and eco-friendly materials, the complex is expected to receive a platinum rating from the U.S. Green Building Council.

Teachers are encouraged to personalize their classroom spaces, and each of the 12 rooms has its own outdoor area that is one-third the size of the interior space to which it is attached.

The total cost was $26 million. Individual buildings are named the Mountain House, Forest House, and City House, and historic Wilcox Hall retains its traditional name. Board of Trustee member and former student Pierre Omidyar donated $6 million to the project.

Athletics

The Punahou athletics program is the most successful in the state and one of the most successful in the nation, having won more state championships (322) than any other high school in the nation. For two consecutive years (2008 and 2009) it was named the #1 U.S. high school athletics program by ''Sports Illustrated''. Athletic facilities include the heated Waterhouse Pool, and the Atherton 8-lane Mondo track surface. The school also has a fieldhouse for competitive athletics, a gymnasium for physical education and intramural sports, and a tennis center with 9 hard surface courts.

Students compete in 22 sports, including air riflery, baseball, basketball. bowling, canoe paddling, cross country, cheerleading, football, golf, gymnastics, judo, kayaking, riflery, sailing, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, volleyball, water polo, and wrestling. Punahou has approximately 120 sports teams. The school is a member of the Interscholastic League of Honolulu.

Punahou won 16 state championships in the 2007-2008 school year. The school awarded 82 Scholar Athlete Awards, and over 100 Senior Plaques to the Class of 2008. Punahou won 19 state championships in the 2008-2009 school year, a record number for the school.

Other programs and honors

Students have access to a jewelry studio, a pottery studio, glass-blowing facilities, technological departments, a new dance pavilion, and a dedicated music building. The campus has space dedicated to school-wide initiatives, such as the Luke Center for Public Service and the Wo International Center. The Punahou arching band travels periodically, most recently participating in the 2009 inauguration of President Barack Obama, an alumnus of the school ('79). The band performed in the 2007 New Year's Day Rose Parade in Pasadena, California.

The student yearbook, ''The Oahuan'', has won awards from the American Scholastic Press Association.

Punahou requires all students (K - 12) to attend chapel once every 6-day cycle. The school year begins in late August and finishes in early June.

The 115801 Punahou is an asteroid named in the school's honor.

Notable students and faculty

In Public Leadership

U.S. President Barack Obama ('79) attended Punahou from 1971 to 1979.

Punahou has produced many leaders in the government of Hawaii. Sanford Dole (1864) was President of the brief Republic of Hawaii, then Governor of Hawaii. Walter Frear (1881) and Lawrence M. Judd (1905) were also Governors.

The school has produced U.S. Senators from Illinois and Connecticut. Otis Pike ('39*), Congressman from New York, chaired the Pike Committee investigating Richard Nixon. Charles Djou ('87) recently finished Neil Abercrombie's term as Congressman from Hawaii, and at least three other graduates from Punahou have represented Hawaii in the US House.

Former students who made history in civic leadership include the ''Educator of the Disenfranchised,'' an ''Unlikely Hero'', and the ''Uncommon American'' (as described by their biographers): General Samuel C. Armstrong (1859) led the rifle company that turned back Pickett's Charge at the Battle of Gettysburg, led U.S. Colored Troops, and founded Hampton University to educate the freed slaves and Native Indians in the way that his father had educated the Hawaiians; Judge Elbert Tuttle ('14) led the federal court that desegregated the South, the "Fifth Circuit Four"; and Secretary John W. Gardner ('29*) was Lyndon Johnson's architect of the Great Society, creating welfare and PBS. Tuttle and Gardner were awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Sun Yat Sen, the Founding Father of the modern, post-imperial Republican China, attended Punahou when it was called Oahu College for a year of post-secondary school after graduating from Iolani School.

In Athletics

Punahou has produced seven NFL linemen and three running backs, including Mark Tuinei ('78) who played 15 years (team record) for the Dallas Cowboys, winning three Super Bowls. Punahou football coach Kale Ane ('71) is son of 2xPro Bowler and 2xNFL champion team captain Charley Ane ('49), and nephew of Herman Clark ('48) and Jim Clark ('48); the four combined for a total of 260 NFL games over 20 seasons for the Packers, Chiefs, Lions, Redskins, and Bears. Pro Bowler and Super Bowler Mosi Tatupu ('74) redefined the importance of special teams. The school also claims a pitcher and a first baseman in major league baseball. LPGA winner Michelle Wie graduated in 2007.

Punahou has a tradition of sending athletes to the Olympic Games, with alumni contributing seven gold, seven silver, and three bronze medals, competing in many of the modern games ('20, '24, '28, '32, '52, '68, '72, '76, '84, '88, '92, '96, '00, '04, '08), and on every U.S. team since 1968 (Moscow '80 would have been the second of four Olympics for Henry Marsh ('72) if not for the U.S. boycott). Punahou alumni include 2008 Olympic SIlver medalists Brandon Brooks (water polo) ('99) as goalkeeper for the U.S. Water Polo team, and Lindsey Berg ('98) as setter for the U.S. Volleyball team.

In Academia

In academia, Punahou can point to endowed professors at Berkeley, Stanford, UCLA, Duke, Illinois, Notre Dame, and Boston U. There are research professors of medicine at UCSF, UCLA, UCSD, USC, Stanford, Harvard, Columbia, Indiana, Maryland, Pitt, Walter Reed, Texas, and Baylor. John Lie ('78) wrote eight books on Asian cultures, Patrick Vinton Kirch ('68) wrote nine books on Polynesian cultures and Fred Hoxie ('65) wrote twenty books on Native American peoples. Jesuit Father Robert Spitzer, SJ ('70) was the president of Gonzaga University, General George Forsythe ('66*) is the new president of Westminster College (Missouri), Marie Mookini ('74) has been admissions director for Stanford and its business school for over two decades, and William Richards Castle, Jr. (1896) was a Harvard Overseer. Elizabeth Bennett Johns ('55) has been a Guggenheim Fellow. Mount Rex is named for former student and atmospheric science pioneer Dan Rex ('33*).

The school has a connection to Mills College through Punahou's former president, Cyrus Mills, who helped found the college with his wife, Punahou teacher Susan Tolman Mills. Queenie B. Mills was a Kindergarten director who helped design the Head Start program.

In the Arts

In the arts, Joan Blondell ('25*) has a Hollywood Walk of Fame star after 52 years in films. Kevin McCollum ('80*) directs a Broadway production company that claims five Tony Awards and a Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and Allan Burns ('53) was a 6-time Emmy Award-winning writer and creator, known for such shows as ''The Munsters'', ''Get Smart'', ''Mary Tyler Moore Show'', and ''Rocky and Bullwinkle''. Ken Peterson ('26) animated ''Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'', ''One Hundred and One Dalmatians'', and ''Sleeping Beauty''. Buster Crabbe ('27), who had won a gold medal in the 1932 Olympics, portrayed Tarzan, Flash Gordon, and Buck Rogers in film. John Kneubuhl ('38), a Samoan royal, was a writer on ''Wild, Wild, West'', ''Star Trek'', ''Hawaii Five O'', ''Gunsmoke'', ''Mannix'', and 40 other shows. Gerry Lopez ('66) is well known for surfing, but is also known as Subotai in ''Conan the Barbarian''. Three danced for the early Martha Graham. Leilani Jones ('75) won a Tony Award on Broadway, and was on the original casts of ''Grind'' and ''Little Shop of Horrors''. Amanda Schull ('96) had the lead role as an aspiring ballerina in ''Center Stage''. IMDB.com lists almost 50 credits for Carrie Ann Inaba ('86) (''In Living Color'', ''Austin Powers in Goldmember'', ''Dancing with the Stars''), and almost 100 for Kelly Preston ('80) (''Jerry Maguire'', ''For Love of the Game'', ''Only You'', ''Twins'').

The Kingston Trio had two Punahou founders, Dave Guard ('52*) and Bob Shane ('52), producing ten top-40 hits and a #1 Grammy-winning single. Robin Luke ('59) was a Rockabilly Hall of Fame act. Hawaiian slack-key guitar is well represented by the popular music of Henry Kapono Kaaihue ('67) of Cecilio & Kapono. More recently, Melody Ishikawa ('00) had three top-ten albums in Japan, and Teri Ann Linn's ('79) debut cd went gold on the European charts.

In the Military

Punahou has a striking list of military alumni. Francis Wai ('35) was awarded a posthumous Medal of Honor, Killed in Action in the Battle of Leyte Gulf.

The school can claim at least eleven Army Generals, three Rear Admirals, a Marine Major General, and six Air Force Generals. General Stanley Larsen ('33) was the first commander of the I Field Force, Vietnam. Marine Major General Ross T. Dwyer ('37) was USMC Aide to the Secretary of the Navy.

Many of the students were children of high level commanders, e.g., a Marine Commandant Wallace M. Greene, Jr., stationed in the Pacific, and many had their family reassigned before graduation. This includes General Edward Timberlake ('14*), Colonel Red Reeder ('20*), General Donald Booth ('22*), and General Walter Johnson '(22*), all of whom graduated from West Point, and all of whom had important World War II commands.

Colonel Farrant Turner ('13), Major Alex McKenzie ('29), and Major John Johnson ('31) commanded the Nisei 100th Infantry Battalion, the Purple Heart Battalion, the latter being Killed in Action at Cassino. The destroyer USS ''Chung-Hoon'' is named after Punahou football star, Admiral Gordon Chung-Hoon ('29*), who survived the attack on the ''USS Arizona''.

In Biographies

Brewster Morgan's ('35*) story is told in ''The Great Escape'' and Robert Alexander Anderson's ('12) story is told in ''The Dawn Patrol'' (both were downed pilots); another war pilot, Ted Withington ('40), had his letters published as ''Flight to Black Hammer''. Charlie Wedemeyer's ('65) story is told in the Emmy-award winning film ''Quiet Victory''. John Kneubuhl's story was a documentary film, and Blondell has a 2007 biography. Armstrong, Tuttle, Gardner, and Obama have also had formal biographers. Hiram Bingham III's (1892) latest biography calls him ''A Real Life Indiana Jones.'' James Michener's ''Hawaii (novel)'' and ''Hawaii (film)'' portray the historical acts of Lorrin A. Thurston (1875), Sanford Dole, Hiram Bingham I, Henry Baldwin (1891), and Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole (1889) in the transition from monarchy to US territory. Their classmates, such as Alexander Cartwright III (1869), were early players of baseball, as initiated in the islands by Alexander Cartwright, Jr., the official inventor of the game.

Others

In 2007, Cox Enterprises passed to two former Punahou students who are highly philanthropic like their mother Barbara Cox Anthony, who ''twice'' married Punahou alumni; a schoolteacher, formerly Blair Kennedy ('68*), is now the wealthiest person in Australia; her brother, James C. Kennedy ('65*) was Atlanta's philanthropist of the year, 2007. Charles Gates, Jr. ('39) has donated $147M through his Gates Family Foundation. As mentioned above, the founders of AOL and ebay were Punahou students.

Charles L. Veach ('62) was an astronaut on two shuttle missions.

Punahou students were crowned Miss Hawaii or Miss Hawaii USA in 1977, 1981, 1997, 1999, and 2004 (with two becoming Miss USA and Miss Universe, respectively: Judi Anderson ('76) and Brook Mahealani Lee ('89*)).

Punahou students appear across the political spectrum, from Ronald Reagan's "favorite economist" Wendy Lee Gramm ('62); Ryan Henry ('68) and Robert Silberman ('75), Deputy Under Secretary of Defense and Assistant Secretary of the Army, respectively, for George H. W. Bush; to centrist Ray Schoenke ('59*), a former Democratic candidate for Maryland Governor who founded the American Hunters and Shooters Association (an alternative to the National Rifle Association); to Jerry Berman ('58), chief counsel of the ACLU.

Shannon Lee Miller (born March 10, 1977) is a former artistic gymnast from Edmond, Oklahoma. She is the most decorated gymnast in U.S. History, and considered one of the greatest gymnasts the United States has ever produced. Miller was the 1993 and 1994 World All-Around Champion, the 1996 Olympics balance beam gold medalist, the 1995 Pan Am Games all-around champion, and a member of the gold medal-winning Magnificent 7 team at the Atlanta Olympics. The winner of a combined total of 16 World Championships and Olympic medals between 1991 and 1996, Miller ranks as the most decorated gymnast, male or female, in U.S. history. Miller was also the most successful American athlete, by medal count, at the 1992 Barcelona Games, winning 5 altogether.

Gymnastics career

Early years

Miller was born in Rolla, Missouri, but she and her family moved to Edmond, Oklahoma when she was only six months old. Miller began gymnastics at age five, and four years later, she and her mother traveled to Moscow, Russia to participate in a gymnastics camp. The Soviet coaches were astounded by her talent and believed that she had the potential to be a world-class elite gymnast. She also met Oklahoma-based coach Steve Nunno in Russia, and began training with him upon returning home.

Miller made remarkable progress under Nunno’s tutelage. As a twelve year old, she finished an impressive third at the 1989 Olympic Festival — a competition designed to showcase up-and-coming talent. Over the next two years, she added such difficulty to her routines that she soon had some of the hardest routines in the world. Yet, no matter what she achieved, she always seemed to fall short of fellow American, Kim Zmeskal. Miller traveled to Europe in 1990 and 1991 for international meets and scored two perfect 10.0s on the balance beam at the Swiss Cup and Arthur Gander Memorial. At the 1991 Arthur Gander, she not only won the All-Around, she amassed the highest all-around total ever recorded by an American woman under the traditional 10.0 scale: a 39.875. (Kim Zmeskal had also amassed this same total score at the 1990 USA vs. USSR Challenge.)

1991

At her first World Championships in 1991 in Indianapolis, Miller won two silver medals - in the uneven bars (where she tied Soviet Tatiana Gutsu) and the team competition. The team medal was a first for the Americans, and teammate Zmeskal became the first American to achieve the World All-Around gold medal. Miller placed second in the world during the compulsory portion of the competition to Soviet Svetlana Boguinskaya. In doing so, and in becoming the first American to qualify to all possible event finals at the World Championships, she also showed that while inconsistent at home in the United States, she was among the top gymnasts in the world when she competed in major international competitions. Throughout her career, the trend continued and Miller seemed to shine when the lights were brightest.

1992

At the 1992 American Cup, Miller fell during her final routine on the floor exercise when she was performing her mount of whipback through to full twisting double back. Then, a few months before the Olympics, she broke and dislocated her elbow in the spring of 1992. It appeared her Olympics were over. Miller missed the 1992 Individual Apparatus World Championships in Paris, where she had a fantastic shot at winning both the uneven bars and the balance beam. The two titles went to Lavinia Miloşovici and Kim Zmeskal, respectively.

Miller surprised doctors, coaches, and fans alike by competing in the compulsory portion of the 1992 Nationals, where she defeated Zmeskal. Not quite back up to speed with her more difficult manuveurs, she pulled out of the Optionals and petitioned to the Olympic Trials. It was here that her career catapulted itself to the top. Although the result was controversial, Miller won the Olympic Trials and defeated Zmeskal, who was considered the favorite to win the Olympics.

Although Zmeskal remained the favorite, the 1992 Olympics finally arrived. For better or for worse, the outcome of the Games has forever seemed to define both Miller and Zmeskal's careers in the public eye. Miller won the compulsory portion of the Olympic Games, and then won the entire individual portion of the team competition, advancing to the All-Around as the number one ranked gymnast in the World.

Miller is probably best remembered for her performance in the Individual All-around at the 1992 Olympic Games. In a dramatic duel with the Unified Team’s Tatiana Gutsu, Miller missed out on the gold by the closest margin in Olympic history: 0.012 points. The result was controversial because Gutsu had originally finished 4th on her team. Though she had qualified well within the top 36 who advance to the all-around, only three athletes from each country could then advance. In order to get round this rule, Gutsu's teammate Rozalia Galiyeva, who finished 3rd, was said to have a knee injury and was removed by the Unified Team coaches from the All-Around final. Galieva later said she was not injured, so perhaps Miller was unlucky to have had to compete against Gutsu in the first place. Nevertheless, she performed very strongly on all four events and by the end of the evening had accomplished the highest All-Around placement by an American in a non-boycotted Olympics. This record would stand until Carly Patterson won the title in 2004. She is perhaps best remembered for her superb full twisting Yurchenko vault that, many experts feel, should have received a perfect score of 10.0 instead of the 9.975 that she was awarded. During NBC's broadcast of the event finals, fellow American Tim Daggett described Shannon's vault as "the most perfect piece of gymnastics that I have ever seen. I've had conversations with a number of other people who were in the arena, and they agree."

Miller continued her strong showing in event finals, when she went on to capture three more individual medals: a silver on balance beam and bronzes on floor and bars. This haul of five Olympic medals in one Games was more than that of any Americans in any sport. Along with Lavinia Miloşovici, Miller was the only female gymnast to compete in every single event at the Games (team, all-around, all four finals) and she alone performed all sixteen routines without serious error. Thirteen of her sixteen routines scored a 9.9 or higher, with her lowest score being a 9.837 on the vault in the apparatus finals.

1993 and 1994

Miller dominated world competition for the next two years, becoming the only American back-to-back World All-Around Champion in 1993 and 1994. In fact, for the two years following the Games, she went undefeated worldwide.

Her performance at the 1993 world championships in Birmingham was exceptionally dominant. After having easily qualified in first place on every event in the preliminary round, Miller was somewhat underpar on beam in the all-around final but was still able to narrowly beat Gina Gogean of Romania, by an even smaller margin than she herself had lost by to Gutsu. Following the break-up of the USSR, the athletes from the old Soviet Union had undergone huge upheaval and most were not ready to mount a sustained challenge at the 1993 worlds. Miller, on the other hand, was exceptionally well prepared, with her routines effectively reworked in order to comply better with the new code. The result in the preliminary round where she won by over two tenths (then a large margin) is very telling. She followed her all-around title with golds on bars and floor, but fell three times from the beam. Miller's performance in apparatus finals was made even more impressive by the fact that she was suffering from a stomach bug. Indeed, it was this that forced her to withdraw from vault.

At the 1994 world championships in Brisbane, Miller again took the all-around title. She beat another Romanian into second place, Lavinia Miloşovici, and once again there was an ex-Soviet in third. As in 1993 her performance was not perfect- this time there were errors on floor- but it was still strong enough for the gold. She also won the title that had eluded her the previous year, the beam, with a near perfect exercise. Many gymnastics fans and experts alike feel as though Miller's balance beam performance in the apparatus finals at the 1994 world championships was the best beam routine of her career.

This winning streak was unprecedented and improbable. In a sport where the tiniest mistake proved critical, Miller was continuing to win each and every time out. It was not until the Goodwill Games in late 1994 that her winning streak ended. Dina Kotchetkova, beaten into third place at the world championships, took her competitive revenge by narrowly defeating Shannon Miller 39.325 to 39.268. Miller rebounded very impressively by earning silver medals on the vault and the uneven bars, and gold medals on the balance beam and floor exercise. She narrowly missed winning medals in the women's team competition and the mixed team competition, where she, along with her teammates, placed 4th in both categories. Two weeks later, she would compete at the 1994 U.S. National Championships, where she would win all five silver medals, each time placing second to Dominique Dawes.

1995

Olympian and television commentator Kathy Johnson commented at the 1993 World Championships, where Miller won every single event in preliminaries, that never had she seen a gymnast so dominant since Nadia Comăneci in 1976. Bart Conner concurred, stating that only if Miller faltered could she be beaten. In 1994, however, Miller placed second to Dominique Dawes in the all-around competition at the US National Championships. Dawes also topped Miller in all four of the individual event finals at the same competition and would be Miller's chief rival for the remainder of that year. In 1995 Miller struggled with injuries, fatigue, and a growth spurt. Although she won the 1995 American Classic, she lost the 1995 National Championships to thirteen year-old Dominique Moceanu when she fell off the beam. Coming into the 1995 World Championships, she had a realistic shot of becoming the reigning three-time consecutive World Champion, but Miller injured her ankle. Although she competed in the team competition and qualified to all four event finals once again, she could barely walk and was not up to speed. Despite performing under par, she still amassed the highest total of the entire American team. Although she had won five individual gold medals in the last two World Championships, she walked away from Sabae without a single individual medal. Here she would take seventh place on the uneven bars and a very respectable fourth place on the balance beam, after having to withdraw from both the vault and the floor exercise due to her injury.

1996

Although struggling with severe tendinitis in her left wrist,and a pulled hamstring injury Miller won the 1996 National Championships and once again established herself as the top American entering the Olympics. Here she unveiled her new Yurchenko 1 twisting vault, and her double layout on the floor exercise. Many feel as though Shannon's performance on the floor at these nationals championships was her finest floor routine ever. Once again though, she was forced to sit out the Individual Apparatus World Championship in the Olympic year due to injury, and later the Olympic trials. Still, thanks to her superb performance at the US Nationals, she was able to petition onto the American team as the top performer, and the injury was sufficiently recovered by July to allow Miller to compete in her second Olympics. Her fellow teammates were Dominique Dawes, Jaycie Phelps, Amy Chow, Dominique Moceanu, Kerri Strug and Amanda Borden, and they entered the Olympics hotly tipped for success.

In a fierce team competition, Miller led the American team to history as the Magnificent 7—the 1996 Olympic Gold medal winning American team - finally defeated the Russians for the first time ever. Kerri Strug garnered the lion's share of the media attention following her famous vault, but actually it was Miller who was the team's highest scorer, individually placing 2nd during the compulsories and 2nd after the entire team competition behind the eventual Olympic All-Around Champion, Lilia Podkopayeva. This performance qualified her for her second Olympic all-around competition.

In the All-Around, Miller was sitting in 2nd place half-way through the competition with another showdown for the gold on the horizon. But her wrist was in poor shape and had only gotten worse since the Nationals, forcing her to have 2 cortisone injections. While numbing the pain, the injections failed to solve the problem and Miller was not at her most powerful. She failed to fully complete a new skill on the floor exercise, a double layout somersault, which she landed with a big lunge forward. Although she and her coach considered a different opening pass, she had not been able to practice her traditional opening run of a whipback through to a full twisting double pike as a hamstring injury had made it difficult for her to pike. Miller left the All-Around despondent, but still managed 8th place finish, making her the highest ranking American in that competition. She crashed in the vault apparatus finals, another event in which she was not at her best, and as the final day of Olympic gymnastics arrived, Miller had only one more shot for individual Olympic gold.

With what was without a doubt one of the best performances of her career, Miller finally won the elusive individual Olympic gold medal on beam. This magnificent performance was her thirtieth and final routine in Olympic competition. She once again made history by becoming the first American to win the balance beam at the Olympics. In doing so, she also became the first American woman to win an individual gold medal at a non-boycotted Olympics, and the first American woman to win any individual apparatus in a non-boycotted Olympics. She is the only American female gymnast to win two Olympic gold medals. This historic result also makes Shannon the first female American gymnast to have won individual gold medals at both the Olympics and the World Championships. (Only two male American gymnasts, Bart Conner and Paul Hamm, and two female American gymnasts, Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson, share this honor.) Miller concluded her career with 7 Olympic medals (two gold, two silver, three bronze).

Post-1996

Following the Olympics, Miller and her teammates participated in a 100-city tour and several exhibition competitions. She competed in her final world-class meet in 1997, when she won the all-around title at that year's World University Games. In 2000 Miller made a brief comeback attempt for the Sydney Olympics. She competed in the Olympic Trials, but did not complete the meet due to a knee injury, and was not selected for the team.

Miller's accomplishments in the sport of gymnastics have won her several major honors. She has been named to USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame, the US Olympic Hall of Fame, and the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame and the Women's International Sports Hall of Fame.

Miller is the only woman, in any sport, to be inducted into the United States Olympic Hall of Fame twice, as an individual and for her team.

With seven Olympic and nine World Championship medals, Shannon Miller is the most decorated United States Gymnast, male or female.

Miller is currently tied with Nastia Liukin and Alicia Sacramone as the gymnasts who have won the most World Championship medals (9) for the United States. However, Miller's world medal count includes two World All-Around Titles and a total of five golds.

Education

As a teenager, Miller attended Edmond North High School, working with a flexible program that accommodated her training, travel and competition schedule.

In the Spring of 2003, Miller graduated from the University of Houston with a B.B.A. in Marketing and Entrepreneurship. In the Fall of 2003, she entered Boston College Law School and graduated in 2007. Miller opted not to take the Bar Exam in any state. She moved to Florida where she is now a business woman, making appearances at gyms, conducting beam clinics, and starring in workout DVDs.

Personal life

Miller married lawyer and ophthalmologist Christopher B. Phillips in June 1999, in a wedding that included several of her Mag 7 teammates and nearly 1000 guests. The couple separated in 2004; their divorce was finalized in 2006 after bitter court arguments. While Phillips accused Miller of infidelity with a married male athlete, the charge was denied by Miller and did not figure into the divorce grounds.

In August 2007, Miller announced her engagement to John Falconetti, the 39-year-old President of Drummond Press and past chairman of the Duval County, Florida Republican executive committee. The couple married on August 25, 2008.

On April 27, 2009, Miller announced that she and her husband were expecting their first child, a boy, on November 5, 2009. Their son, Rocco, was born on October 28, 2009.

In February 2011 Miller revealed that she had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer after doctors discovered a baseball-sized cyst. The cyst had been surgically removed the previous month. Miller underwent three cycles of chemotherapy from March 7 to May 2, 2011.
