Director Paul’s Message

On Wednesday, October 21, our campus came together in a sea of orange for Alaka’i Unity Day 2026. After our morning Piko, the entire school gathered on the upper field to form a unified circle led by Ms. Malissa Phillips, our school counselor.

This special moment served as a powerful visual and heartfelt commitment to standing up against bullying, promoting kindness, and nurturing strong pilina (connection) across all grade levels. Aligning with our monthly Aloha Value of Olu’olu (expressing pleasantness and agreeableness), learners demonstrated what it truly means to be upstanders and support one another in our Alaka’i ʻohana.

Big mahalo to Coach Kylie, Ms. Malissa, and all our staff for organizing and supporting this meaningful event!

With deep gratitude and appreciation,
Po’okumu Paul & VP Kelly Ann
