Keith T. Hayashi is superintendent of the Hawai‘i public school system, overseeing 150,000 students, 258 campuses, and more than 40,000 employees across the state. A veteran educator with over 30 years of service in the Hawai‘i State Department of Education, he brings experience at every level of the system — from classroom teacher to complex area superintendent to statewide leader.
Hayashi served as principal of Waipahu High School for 12 years, where he launched Hawai‘i’s first Early College program and helped establish the state’s first nationally recognized wall-to-wall academy model. His leadership earned him multiple honors, including Hawai‘i High School Principal of the Year and the Shirley B. Gordon Award of Distinction.
As superintendent, he has been recognized for driving academic gains, rebuilding trust across the system, and expanding workforce development opportunities for students. He was honored with the state’s inaugural Workforce Development Hero Lifetime Achievement Award in 2023, named a 2023 Legacy Honoree by the Hawai‘i United Okinawa Association, and selected as the 2024 Inspirational Leader of the Year by the Center for Tomorrow’s Leaders. In 2025, he was named one of Hawai‘i’s Most Admired Leaders by Pacific Business News.
The Board of Education approved a new four-year contract for Hayashi in November 2025, extending his leadership through December 2029. He previously served under a three-year contract beginning in 2022, following his role as interim superintendent.
Hayashi began his career as a teacher at Lehua Elementary and later served as a district resource teacher, vice principal and principal at the elementary, middle and high school levels. He went on to serve as Pearl City-Waipahu Complex Area Superintendent and held state-level roles including interim deputy superintendent and interim superintendent in 2017.
He holds a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and two master’s degrees — in curriculum and instruction, and educational administration — from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.
