What is Nā Hopena A‘o

Nā Hopena A‘o or HĀ are six outcomes to be strengthened in every student over the course of their K-12 learning journey. Department staff should also be models of behaviors that direct students to what these outcomes might look like in practice. 

The outcomes include a sense of 

• Belonging

• Responsibility

• Excellence

• Aloha

• Total Wellbeing

• Hawai‘i

When taken together, these outcomes become the core BREATH that can be drawn on for strength and stability throughout school and beyond.
