About DGA
We're the team behind the scenes, dedicated to harnessing the power of data to enhance education across Hawaiʻi's public school system. Our goal is to ensure that every decision made in our education system is well-informed, backed by solid data, and aimed at improving the lives of students, teachers, and the entire community.
Mission Statement
DGA fosters excellence in education through the responsible management and insightful analysis of data. We empower educators, administrators, and policymakers with accurate, timely, and meaningful data to inform decision-making, improve student outcomes, and advance the quality of education in Hawaiʻi.
