I have been attending Kaua'i High School for all 4 years of highschool, and it has been amazing. The tight sense of community here is unmatched to the previous schools I have attended. I have made some of the best connections here making friends with the staff and the students here. The best part of being here is definitely meeting new people and bonding with them. What I would like to see change at Kaua'i High School is creating a wider range of curriculum options that align with career pathways.

Ive been in Kauai High school for the whole high school year. This school has many learning oppurtunities to help us get into college easily. But the school campus in General is not that great. Not a great environment for everyone but students who chooses to stay in class during recess and lunch are willing to take their time to focus on their school work.
