A Joyful and Meaningful Chapter for
Hanahau‘oli School

During the first assembly of the 2025-26 school year, Head of School Lia Woo ’88 unveiled Hanahau‘oli’s refreshed mission statement and guiding beliefs—the culmination of 18 months of reflection, dialogue, and thoughtful collaboration, led by the Board of Trustees and inspired by the diverse voices across Hanahau‘oli’s community.  

Parents and alumni helped create a story, "The School That Loves Us Back," that begins to capture Hanahau‘oli’s mission in motion. Over the course of the school year, students, faculty, and staff will help to complete the story, marking a momentous step in Hanahau‘oli’s journey as a prominent leader in progressive education.
