Welcome to Kaimuki High School Thank you for choosing Kaimuki High School. We look forward to meeting your children where they are, embracing their diversity, and building on their strengths. We are a 21st Century learning institution. Our modular schedule allows us the freedom to use numerous and varied teaching and learning strategies, and allows us to include many more creative learning opportunities. KHS is made up of four small schools called Academies. These academies are smaller more personalized learning environments. Each academy has its own administrator, counselor, teachers, and students. Each academy has a specific focus, but all work toward mastery of all graduation competencies.
Our Freshman Academy (Grade 9) focuses on building strong foundations in the four core subject areas of English, Social Studies, Science, and Mathematics, as well as PE, Health, and Leadership. The freshmen also learn about and interact with our three career academies so that they can make an informed choice about which of the career academies they will be part of for the remaining three years of high school.
Our Entertainment Academy (Grades 10, 11 & 12) focuses on three major areas: Technical Theatre, Music Performance, and Media Arts. This academy is designed for students who are interested in the world of entertainment, whether as a career or an avocation. With an interdisciplinary approach, our students receive both “front of the house” and “back of the house” experiences.
Our Hospitality Academy (Grades 10, 11 & 12) is affiliated with the National Career Academy Coalition (NCAC). This national connection enables the Hospitality Academy to have ties with the major players in the nation as well as in the hospitality industry in Hawaii. The Hospitality Academy focuses on the Hotel and the Culinary Pathways. We maintain a close working relationship and a dual credit program with our neighboring Kapiolani Community College.
Our STEM Academy (Grades 10, 11 & 12) focuses on science, technology, engineering and math. The curriculum integrates technology into innovative and rigorous projects through the use of design and engineering technology, electronics and computer systems. The STEM Academy offers courses in an Engineering Pathway and a Health Services Pathway. Kaimuki High School is part of a K-12 STEM grant with the Office of Naval Research and Chaminade University.

Our Kaimuki to College (K2C) program is open to students in all of the academies. In this program, students take college level courses, taught by college professors, on the Kaimuki High School campus. Students are enrolled in the courses during the school day and receive dual college & high school credit when they complete the course. These students are working on their high school graduation requirements while simultaneously amassing college credits. In essence, this becomes a free college scholarship, as these students will already have many of their required credits upon entering college. Please read the following testimonials from recent Kaimuki graduates who participated in K2C:
Kaimuki Class of 2015 graduate Nina Bean earned 23 college credits while in high school and is currently attending the University of Hawaii at Manoa, majoring in Marine Biology.
“Kaimuki High School has given me a strong foundation in what I attribute to be one of the reasons to my successes today. One outstanding feature this school has is its dual enrollment program with Kapiolani Community College. Taking college classes during high school prepared me well for college and further inspired me to pursue higher education.”
Kaimuki Class of 2016 graduate Emily Wong earned 31 college credits while in high school and is currently attending the University of Northern Colorado, majoring in Biology:
“I think Kaimuki High School was the right place for me because of all the opportunities I was given, especially through the Kaimuki to College program. There were a lot of ways to get involved and connected on campus like through leadership, athletics, and even the arts. I recommend students to just try everything at least once to find what’s right for them.”
Kaimuki Class of 2017 graduate Edward Gao earned 55 college credits while in high school and is now attending Seattle University, majoring in Computer Engineering:
“Being able to take KCC classes for free at Kaimuki definitely went a long way in helping me prepare for college life.”
Kaimuki Class of 2017 graduate Brian Zeng earned 46 college credits while in high school and is now attending Stanford University, majoring in Mechanical Engineering:
“What I really enjoyed about my time at Kaimuki was the opportunities it had in terms of free college classes. Through Kaimuki 2 College and Running Start, I was able to earn 46 college credits by the time I graduated, which certainly helped me catch the attention of college admission offices.” 4

Grades School marks represent the individual teacher’s evaluation of the student’s achievement and progress. Information on the teacher’s marking system can be obtained from each teacher. Achievement in terms of academic progress, practical application, attitudes in class work, homework, projects, tests, and quizzes are usually considered in determining a mark. The A-B-C-D-F achievement scale is generally used at Kaimuki: A – Excellent, B – Good, C – Average, D – Passing, and F – Failure. One (1) credit is awarded to a student if he/she receives a “D” or better for a year course and one-half (½) credit for a semester course. Grade Point Averages (GPA) are determined by dividing the total weighted points for the courses by the number of courses with: A = 4 points, B = 3 points, C = 2 point, D = 1 point, F = 0 points. For example: A student with two “A’s”, two “B’s”, and two “C’s” gets 18 points divided by 6 courses for a Grade Point Average of 3.00. (Some early college courses are “weighted” and earn 1 additional point for all grades except “F”.)
Honor Roll Students maintaining at least a 3.2 Grade Point Average for each quarter are eligible for the KHS Honor Roll.
Graduation GPA Computations High school GPA will only be based on courses taken in grades 9-12. The cumulative GPA for graduation is calculated after the distribution of 3rd Quarter report cards during a student’s senior year. The calculations for courses taken during the senior year is performed as follows: Semester 1 marks for Semester and Year courses are weighted a half-credit, and Quarter 3 marks for Semester 2 and Year courses are weighted a quarter-credit. All high school courses in grades 9 thru 12, including summer school courses will count equally towards the cumulative GPA. All courses that can be interpreted and credited are to be used for students who transfer within the state system, from the mainland United States, or from a foreign country. All graduates with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher will earn one the following designations:
Cum Laude with a cumulative GPA of 3.000 to 3.5004 Magna Cum Laude with a cumulative GPA of 3.501 to 3.800 Summa Cum Laude with a cumulative GPA of 3.801 and above
All graduates with a cumulative GPA of 3.50 and above shall be declared Honor Graduates. All graduates with a cumulative GPA of 4.00 and above, and meet the criteria shown below, shall be declared Valedictorians. If more than one senior is declared a Valedictorian, no Salutatorian will be declared. Valedictorian must meet the following criteria:
Have a cumulative GPA of 4.0; and Meet the requirements to earn one of the Honors Recognition Certificates
6
Certificate of Completion Students who are serviced by the Special Education Department with an Individually Prescribed Program are eligible to receive a Certificate of Completion when all of the requirements set by their program have been completed.
Graduation Commencement Exercises Commencement exercises may be scheduled any time after the last day of school for seniors. The last day of school for seniors shall be set by the Hawaii State Department of Education. Students shall be permitted to participate in commencement if they: 1. meet the requirements for a diploma or a certificate; 2. have fulfilled their financial obligations; and 3. meet other conditions, established by the Department of Education, which meet the standards of clarity, reasonableness, and justifiability.
Non Graduates Students who are unable to fulfill their graduation requirements, prior to the graduation deadline, can choose to complete their credit requirements during the summer. These Non-Graduates must notify the school when they have earned/received any remaining credits by the last day of the summer before the next school year officially begins. These students will be considered Summer Graduates and will receive their 2018 High School Diploma. Those who fail to meet the deadline before the start of the new school year may seek Administrative approval to reregister for the following school year, in order to receive a High School Diploma with the class of 2019.

In Stage II, students are able to expand their listening, speaking, reading, and writing proficiencies so that they can create with language and access short literary texts, authentic materials, and media on generally familiar topics. They can initiate and maintain face-to-face interactions to satisfy communication and social interaction demands. Pre-requisite: SPANISH 2

SCHOOL POLICIES & PROCEDURES The policies and procedures contained in this handbook are designed to establish a positive school climate to ensure a successful year at Kaimuki High School. This information has been carefully prepared to help all students become an integral part of our school.

Requirements: Students must qualify by residing in the catchment area (Kaimuki High School is their "home" school) and more than 1.5 miles away from the nearest entrance. Students must also meet Federal family income guidelines. Once an application has been approved, it is routed to Student Transportation Services which issue the bus passes every month. When the new passes for the month are delivered, an announcement will be placed in the Daily Bulletin to inform bus-pass recipients. When a student reports to the Business Office to pick up a bus pass, they must show a valid KHS ID to pick up their assigned pass and must also sign to indicate that they have received their pass. More information and application forms are available at the DOE Riding the Bus webpage. CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES Students participating in co-curricular activities must have a minimum cumulative 2.0 GPA, be passing all courses required for graduation, and have no outstanding financial obligations (see Chapter 57 above). Activities include but are not limited to athletic teams, pep squad, student government officers, and prom courts.
