Damien Memorial School is not always well known in the big schools in Hawaii. What I like about Damien is how they ready us for college because Damien isn't just a Catholic school it's also a college prep school. Damien has decent teachers all around who are always there for you and will give you the education that you need. When things do get tough they're quickly cracked down upon. What sets us apart from other schools is how small our community and campus are. What can be changed is that we are diving into adding more classes/electives for students as well as getting new teachers to teach and fill in spots where we need them.

My grade for Damien is a "D" overall. If you are looking to send your child to a Catholic school, send them elsewhere. This school does not foster a CATHOLIC education. Mass is an "option" on some days, when administration should incorporate it into the days schedule. Read their mission statement an...

i would not recommend this school for others. my child was so overwhelmed. they came home and cried every night. because there was so much homework there seemed to be time for nothing else like sports or other extra curriculars. there also seemed to be limited sports for the girls. they did nothing...
