The Hawaiʻi State Department of Education is the nation’s only statewide public school district, serving 164,000 students, their families and communities across 296 schools on seven islands. With a spirit of neʻepapa — meaning to come together as one, united in purpose — our public schools are dedicated to fostering graduates who are both globally competitive and locally committed. We strive to inspire learning, innovation and a collective dedication to Hawaiʻi’s future.
Ang Aming Misyon
We serve our community by developing the academic achievement, character and social-emotional well-being of our students to the fullest potential. We work with partners, families and communities to ensure that all public school students reach their aspirations — from early learning through college, career and citizenship.
Ang Ating Pananaw
Hawaiʻi public schools embody the spirit of neʻepapa, meaning to come together as one, united in purpose, to move forward together. We are committed to fostering this collaborative spirit, recognizing that no single entity alone can fully prepare our students for successful futures. Through collective dedication and innovation, we work to ensure our graduates are both globally competitive and locally committed, deeply rooted in the values of our island home.

Ang Aming Mga Pangunahing Halaga
We want all of our students to meet and exceed world-class academic standards, and do so in a way that reflects Hawaiʻi, with a tradition of stewardship, community and mutual responsibility. We will cultivate, advance and draw from Hawai‘i’s rich traditions and Native Hawaiian host culture.
- COMMITMENT TO EQUITY & EXCELLENCE: We believe every child is unique and deserves an excellent education — one that develops the whole student. Students succeed when their specific needs are met and their innate gifts and abilities are nurtured.
- MEANINGFUL LEARNING: We learn from many sources and in many ways. Hawai‘i provides abundant real-world learning environments relevant for success in a culturally diverse, technologically complex, and interdependent global society.
- CARING RELATIONSHIPS: Education is a responsibility shared by all, and the best results come when we work together with aloha, respect, integrity and openness.
- CONNECTION TO COMMUNITY, ʻOHANA AND ʻĀINA: We see students as part of an extended ʻohana, the environment, a larger community and a global society. Hawaiʻi students value these connections and become stewards to make our world a better place.
