| VISION Kapaa High School graduates are responsible, collaborative, critical thinkers who positively contribute to the global community.
|
MISSION Kapaa High School prepares all students for college, career, and citizenship in the 21st century.
|
Kapaa High School is located in the rural town of Kapaa on the windward side of the island of Kauai. Established in 1938, it has a current student enrollment of 1,050 and serves a socio-economically diverse community from Wailua to Haena.
The Kapaa Way is our foundation of educational practice based on the core principles of positive relationships, academic rigor, and real world relevance. We are a career academy high school where students have opportunities to explore college and career pathways based on their interest and aptitude. We envision all students being prepared with the academic, professional, and technical skills needed to succeed. We seek to offer academy pathway programs of study that will lead to high wage, high demand, and high skill careers for our students. Students entering Kapaa start in the freshmen academy hui where they receive focused support in their transition to high school. A comprehensive freshman transition course provides opportunities for service learning, career exploration, character, and academic skill development. Kapaa High School is organized in five career academies (Business & Entrepreneurship, Creative Media, Construction & Engineering, Health Services, Natural Resources & Sustainability) with ten pathways (Film & Media Production, Digital Design, Food Systems, Culinary Arts, Entrepreneurship, Automotive Maintenance & Light Repair, Residential & Commercial Construction, Nursing, Emergency Medical Services, Diagnostic Services). A data driven student support model is used to inform instructional practice and design effective interventions for all learners.
Kapaa High School has strong educational, business, and community partnerships which support and enhance its school wide goals, programs, and services. They include Hawaii Pacific Health, PBS Hawaii, Gather Federal Credit Union, Hawaii Carpenters Apprenticeship & Training Fund, and others. We collaborate with the Kauai Economic Development Board to develop and implement work-based learning experiences and industry certification opportunities. Postsecondary partners Kauai Community College, Chaminade University, and the University of Hawaii Community College System support our robust early college program that expands opportunities for all students to be college and career ready.
