Since 1966, Commencement has been held at the Neal S. Blaisdell Center, though throughout Punahou's history it has been held at several locations, including Bishop Hall, Pauahi Hall, Front Street Church and Central Union Church. A tradition was born in 1963 when senior girls voted to wear Hawaiian Holoku instead of formal dresses.

In 2018, the graduating class participated in the first Commencement at Stan Sheriff Center at University of Hawai'i – Manoa. The Class of 2020 will be the first to present a brand new way to graduate from Punahou School.
