The Department’s adoption of Nā Hopena Aʻo learning outcomes marked a strengthened commitment to ensure our students engage in learning environments rooted in Hawaiʻi. The Department aims to establish consistency in the use of ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi across memos, documents, reports, public-facing websites and other communications.
Hawaiʻi State Board of Education Policy 301-8 stipulates that “A school named after a personage shall use the personage’s formal title and full name as the official name of the school. Schools shall encourage the use of the official names among their students and their communities.” Thus, the list of updated diacritical marks and spelling of Hawaiian terms in school names below also contains the updated official names for schools named after persons as stipulated in Board policy. These official names should be used in all formal communications, such as memorandums and reports.
The geographies (district, complex, complex area and city) have also been updated in the list below. These geographic names, along with our state name, should be spelled correctly across all memorandums, documents, reports, public-facing websites and other communications.
