Transition Center

Takai transition centers in Hawaiʻi were established to welcome and support all new students transitioning to Hawaiʻi public schools, including military-connected families, and to help navigate the challenges that accompany transient living situations.  The Kalāheo High School Aloha Lounge Transition Center (D -103) is a dedicated hub that provides resources, support, and guidance to all new students adjusting to their academic journey, campus life, and school culture.  Along with our TC Coordinator Amaya Eckel, PCNC Mindy Clepper, MFLC Emily Craig, our welcoming team of student ambassadors (Alakai -meaning guide in Hawaiian) are here to connect, share experiences, answer questions, and help ease the transition to a new school.  ʻE komo mai!
