Hawaiʻi has the highest number of military-dependent children per capita in the nation. Families belong to Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, Navy and Space Force base installations located on Oʻahu, Kauaʻi and Hawaiʻi Island, as well as the Pacific Command headquartered on Oʻahu. As a result, there are many public schools in Hawai’i with a significant population of military-connected students. Below, you can find resources to assist military families with their transition to Hawaiʻi’s public schools.
