Ho`ala Students

Ho`ala students are engaging, self-motivated, effective individuals who learn to truly take charge of their lives! As citizens of an increasingly global world, Ho`ala students learn to accommodate a wide variety of opinions and needs while making their own voices heard.  

The Four R’s

Our student learning expectations are based on the underlying foundation of our character education program, which is…

Responsible

You lose your power when you blame, lie, make excuses, and justify
You gain power by “owning” the choices you make in attitude and behavior

Respectful

Honor your decision-making boundaries and those of others
Respect others by not making decisions for them that are properly theirs;
Respect yourself by not allowing others to make decisions that are properly yours.

Responsive

Act for the good of the whole;
We are interdependent and interconnected
Win-win instead of win-lose

Resourceful

Effective action
Instead of complaining, focus on what works
Problem solve!
