KAPOLEI HIGH SCHOOL

Kapolei High School (KHS), the newest high school built in the state of Hawaii, is located in the Villages of Kapolei. The school services families residing in O’ahu’s “Second City” of Kapolei, Makakilo, Kalaeloa, Honokai Hale, and Ko Olina. KHS opened on July 26, 2000 to 375 freshmen. One grade level was added each subsequent year with the first graduating class in June 2004.

The vision for Kapolei High School is based on the recommendations of Breaking Ranks: Changing an American Institution, a report published by the National Association of Secondary School Principals. Drawing from the most essential elements of the reports, Kapolei High School is a student-centered learning environment that focuses on sustaining a strong partnership between the school and the community.

The project-based curriculum of KHS relies on partnerships between the school and community. At each grade level, students connect academic content to the world outside the classroom through the completion of projects. As a result, students acquire fundamental academic knowledge (science, math, language arts, social studies, and technology), practice essential skills (research, analysis, critical and creative thinking, and communication), and develop essential values (mutual respect of ideas, understanding the strength of diversity, and taking responsibility for one’s own learning).

As students progress through the grade levels, projects increase in complexity. Students are expected to achieve results from personalized support from adults – business partners, teachers, and parents - who serve as mentors, advocates, experts, assessors, and collaborators.

Students graduate and leave Kapolei High School with a strong academic foundation, coupled with general knowledge of a career area. More importantly, they take the next step in their lives knowing that they are able to tackle complex problems and achieve valuable results.

VISION

Kapolei High School is an exciting and dynamic student-centered learning environment at the heart of the community.

MISSION

Kapolei High School will create opportunities for students to meet and exceed “The Hawaii Content and Performance Standards”. In addition, students will learn to:

Be responsible for their own learning Understand it is essential for people to work together Be involved in complex thinking and problem solving Recognize and produce quality performance and quality products Be effective communicators Be effective and ethical users of technology Be global citizens who demonstrate caring, dignity and integrity

Any student who fails to do so will have courses selected by a teacher, counselor, or the registrar. 3. Refer to the high school graduation requirements and the entry requirements of post- secondary institutions. 4. Select electives and list them in order of priority on the registration card. Alternate choices will be used in the event of a scheduling conflict. 5. Get a teacher signature when a recommendation is required for a course. 6. Discuss your choices with your parents/guardians and get their approval/signature. 7. Ask your teacher, your counselor, or the registrar, if you have any questions. Please choose wisely, as it may not be possible to make changes later.

PROGRAM/COURSE CHANGES

The types of courses and the number of classes offered for each course are based on the selections students make during registration. Therefore, it will be difficult for students to change classes when the school year begins because many of the classes will be filled. If a schedule change is necessary, it should be completed within the first two weeks of school. Schedule changes will only be made for the following reasons: 1. A clerical or computer error on the student’s program makes it necessary for a change. 2. The student is enrolled in an incorrect class level. 3. The student attended summer school and a change is necessary. 4. The student needs to be placed in a special program; e.g., Special Education or ELL. 5. The teacher recommends a change after consulting with the student’s counselor.

REGISTRATION TIMELINE

November 2, 2016: KHS students receive a Registration Guide and Registration Card for their appropriate grade level from their advisory teacher. November 16, 2016: KHS students return their registration cards to their advisory teacher with parent/guardian signature.

SUMMER SCHOOL

Summer school is recommended for students who need remediation or need to make up credits for courses failed during the regular school year. Although a student may have successfully completed one of the required courses during the summer, he/she will be enrolled in an English, social studies, math, and science class during the regular school year. 15

Updated 09-01-2016

CORRESPONDENCE, CREDIT RECOVERY, and/or OUTSIDE COURSEWORK

Correspondence courses are NOT ACCEPTED for credit at Kapolei High School. Credits from private school providers may be accepted if: (1) the school is accredited; (2) the student and parent discusses this option with Kapolei High BEFORE enrollment AND receives administrative approval of the course syllabus for ACCN equivalency and; (3) the student successfully completes the course.

FAILURE OF ENGLISH (LANGUAGE ARTS) AND SOCIAL STUDIES COURSES

The student is responsible for determining if (s)he passed or failed English (Language Arts) and/or Social Studies courses. In the event of failure, the student SHOULD make up the course in summer school or the student may be unable to graduate on schedule.

DOUBLING UP OF ENGLISH (LANGUAGE ARTS) AND SOCIAL STUDIES COURSES

Students may NOT enroll in two English (Language Arts) courses concurrently within their regular class schedule; exceptions may be made for terminal year students with credit recovery payment per credit. Students are allowed to take an AP English class concurrently with their Academy English course. Students may enroll in two Social Studies courses concurrently in their senior/terminal year at Kapolei High School.

9TH AND 10TH GRADE TEAMS

Ninth and tenth grade students belong to a team, sharing the same core teachers in Language Arts, Social Studies and Science. KHS believes that the team approach to learning cultivates and reinforces the skills students will need as they progress through the eleventh and twelfth grade academies and onto life beyond graduation. Teaming allows for personalization, fosters life-long learning, and gives students experience using the industry standard skills of collaboration and cooperation.

Freshmen and sophomores are highly encouraged to take one of the Core elective classes (Arts & Communication, Business, Health, Public/Human, or Industrial Engineering) in 9th or 10th grade as it is required for entry into all academies (except for Fine Arts and Ho’ola).
