Overall the music program here is good. However facility wise a lot of things are in disrepair. The food does not taste very good(just prepackaged microwaved meals).

My overall experience at Kailua High School was amazing. To being able to learn in and outside of the classroom. Being able to walk onto school campus knowing that I was safe and that people valued me. Being able to walk into the classroom and have my education be taken seriously. When it came to athletics knowing that my coaches cared enough to make sure that I was always safe and keeping up with my duties as a student athlete. Another thing that gave me the best experience was being able to walk onto campus knowing that I will be safe and that there are people to talk to if I every feel anything different. One thing that I would like to see change will have to be taking into consideration on how other students feel when it comes to feeling safe on school campus. Other than that education and athletics gives the both of best worlds for student athletes. Having teachers and staff to talk to when I needed them and just knowing that there was an adult around that cared enough about me.
