Principal's Message

Aloha Parents, Guardians, Community Members, and Friends of Ali‘iolani,

 

Welcome to an incredible new school year!

​

It is an absolute honor to return home to the Ali‘iolani Ohana as your Principal. Coming back to this remarkable community fills me with immense excitement for everything we will accomplish together. I am eager to reconnect with familiar faces and warmly welcome our new families.

​

Our primary goal remains unchanged - to guide every student toward unlocking their full potential. Through dynamic exploration, a robust curriculum, and effective instructional practices, we create authentic, hands-on learning experiences. At the same time, we take tremendous pride in cultivating a deep sense of belonging and responsibility within our school.

​

Here at Ali‘iolani, we empower every student to make a difference through an approach founded on love, active living, and continuous learning. Our exceptional team of teachers and staff is wholeheartedly committed to nurturing each student, both academically and socially, for our ever-evolving world.

​

Thank you for your unwavering support. I look forward to working with each of you for an exciting new school year of life-long learning.

​

Mahalo,

Leonard Padayhag

Leonard Padayhag, Principal
