Na Hopena A'o

HA: BREATH

Nā Hopena A‘o or HĀ are six outcomes to be strengthened in every student over the course of their K-12 learning journey. As student leaders, we strive to strengthen a sense of belonging, responsibility, excellence, aloha, total well-being, and Hawai'i (BREATH) in ourselves as well as our school community.

Belonging

We stand firm in our space with a strong foundation of relationships. A sense of Belonging is demonstrated through an understanding of lineage and place and a connection to past, present, and future.

Responsibility

We willingly carry our responsibility for self, family, community and the larger society. A sense of Responsibility is demonstrated by a commitment and concern for others.

Excellence

We believe we can succeed in school and life and are inspired to care about the quality of our work. A sense of Excellence is demonstrated by a love of learning and the pursuit of skills, knowledge and behaviors to reach my potential.

Aloha

We show care and respect for ourselves, families, and communities. A sense of Aloha is demonstrated through empathy and appreciation for the symbiotic relationship between all.

Total Well-Being

A sense of Total Well-being is demonstrated by making choices that improve the mind, body, heart and spirit. We are able to meet the demands of school and life while contributing to the well being of family, ‘āina, community and world.

Hawaii

We are enriched by the uniqueness of this prized place. A sense of Hawai‘i is demonstrated through an appreciation for its rich history, diversity and indigenous language and culture.
