VISION
100% of Waimea HS students
graduate reading on or above grade level and are enrolled, employed, or enlisted. |
MISSION
We exist to empower students and increase their opportunities for success. |
Waimea High School continues to work with the University of Hawaii P-20, the Kauai Economic Development Board (KEDB), Kauai Community College (KCC), Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) and other grant sources like the Stupski Family and Castle Foundations to further develop its pathways and work-based learning opportunities for all students.
Our grade 9-12 college and career continuum is being built out to strengthen connections with community and business partners, leading students to earn industry-valued certifications such as OSHA, First Aid/CPR, and CERT. Through our Early College classes, students are earning UH certificates in mathematics, Electronic Technology, Public Health, and Hawaiian Botany. Our health pathway students are earning Certified Nursing Aide certificates through Ohana Health and beginning Fall 2025, they will earn a Medical Assistant certificate through Hawaii Pacific Health. We have grants with P-20 to accelerate two pathways, Secondary Teaching and Digital Design. We are in the planning process to envision what a K-12 construct of both pathways would look like.Our new 4x4 bell schedule allows students to focus on just four classes each semester and earn eight credits each year. From the school’s perspective, the 4x4 schedule allows us space and time to support the college and career continuum, embedding the PTP through each grade level and culminating with a mandatory senior capstone project. The 4x4 allows us to embed reading and math workshop classes for students who are not yet at grade level, as well as schedule Early College classes during the school day, allowing students to continue to work or play sports in the afternoons and not have to choose one or the other. Our Freshman Academy leveraged the new schedule to earn NCAC model status in Spring 2024 and through their collective effort to support each student, was able to promote the entire class to 10th grade with no retainers.
Waimea High School enjoys strong parent, alumni, and community support and serves as the community center of West Kauai. Organizations such as PTSA, Menehune Boosters (athletics), Waimea Alumni and Friends Foundation and Project Grad provide ongoing support for student activities, teacher support, facility renewal projects, school improvement, and post-high school scholarships.
