The Hawaiʻi State Department of Education is the nation’s only statewide public school district, serving 164,000 students, their families and communities across 296 schools on seven islands. With a spirit of neʻepapa — meaning to come together as one, united in purpose — our public schools are dedicated to fostering graduates who are both globally competitive and locally committed. We strive to inspire learning, innovation and a collective dedication to Hawaiʻi’s future.
