The three Hawai\u02bbi schools were nominated by HIDOE and selected for the 2025 honor prior to the U.S. Department of Education\u2019s decision to discontinue the program in August 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBlue Ribbon Schools have historically represented the very best in teaching and learning across the country,\u201d Superintendent Keith Hayashi said. \u201cWe are extremely proud to honor M\u0101nana Elementary, Wilson Elementary and Mililani Mauka Elementary as models of innovation, excellence and student success, where students are empowered to be globally competitive and locally committed. This achievement reflects the dedication of students, teachers, staff and families working together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All three schools \u2014 each a first-time recipient \u2014 earned recognition under the former federal program\u2019s \u201cExemplary High-Performing Schools\u201d category, ranking among Hawai\u02bbi\u2019s highest-performing schools based on state assessment results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The three schools will be recognized at the Nov. 13 Board of Education meeting, with a formal state celebration planned for spring 2026. In light of the federal program\u2019s cancellation, HIDOE is developing a state-level Blue Ribbon Schools program to continue honoring Hawai\u02bbi schools that exemplify excellence in student learning and achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"kb-gallery-wrap-id-16933_d8f9bc-47 alignnone wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery\"><ul class=\"kb-gallery-ul kb-gallery-non-static kb-gallery-type-masonry
