JOB
Rich in Hawaiian legend and Hawaiian history, Wahiawa and the surrounding area has been long been known for its cool climate, rolling plain, and abundance of wildlife. In ancient times, it was a training ground for Oahu chiefs for their armies, and revered as the sacred place for royal births. As homesteaders and immigrants began to arrive, they cleared the land and planted sugar, coffee, and pineapple. For nearly 80 years, the town was a center for nearby plantation communities and military installations, and many plantation workers were brought from the countries of Asia.The school, which was founded in 1958, is bounded by California Avenue and Kilani Avenue, the old cemetery and Mahele Street. The school grounds are made up of two parcels of land; the main area on which the school buildings are located, and the park area behind the school buildings fronting Kilani Avenue. The park area was taken over by the Department of Parks and Recreation and is designated as a public park, however, it is used by the school students during recess and for school activities. Also nearby, are two military bases: Schofield Army Base and Wheeler Army Base.VISIONWe value, respect, and support each other in reaching our highest potential.MISSION* Prepare students for success by teaching standards-based lessons; creating a safe and nurturing environment; providing meaningful learning experiences; and ensuring opportunities for evaluation and assessment of progress.* Provide opportunities to give parents tools to meet the academic, social, and emotional needs of the students.* Commit ourselves wholeheartedly to our vision; communicate that vision with integrity; follow up commitments relentlessly; and foster positive relationships within our school community.THRIVE MESSAGEOur students deserve to thrive with options and opportunities.
