Principal's Message

It is with great pride and dedication that I extend my warmest greetings to every one of you. As the principal of our amazing Nānāikapono Elementary School, it is both an honor and a privilege to serve such a vibrant and resilient community.


Here at Nānāikapono, we are more than just a school; we are an ohana. I am deeply committed to fostering an environment where every student feels valued, supported, and empowered to reach their fullest potential. Our community holds a special place in my heart, and I am fully dedicated to its growth and prosperity.


One of my greatest passions is seeing our students thrive and succeed. I firmly believe that education is the key to unlocking endless opportunities. I am dedicated to providing our students with the tools, resources, and support they need to excel academically, socially, and personally.


But success is not just measured by academic achievements alone. It is also about nurturing the whole individual – fostering character, integrity, and resilience. Together, we will instill in our students the values of compassion, empathy, and respect, empowering them to become thoughtful leaders and active contributors to our community.


Together, we will inspire greatness, celebrate achievements, and overcome challenges, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to thrive and succeed. Thank you for entrusting us with the education and well-being of your children. Together, let us continue to build a legacy of excellence at Nānāikapono Elementary School! 


Mahalo,

Principal Matsik
