Hawaii Technology Academy Līhuʻe Kaua’i

Why Hawaii Technology Academy Līhuʻe Kaua’i was nominated

Students are regularly spotted in the field studying ecosystems specific to Kōke‘e and marine estuaries, visiting cultural sites and the Kaua‘i Museum, learning about electricity at KIUC, investigating coral reefs at ‘Anini, learning about sustainable farming practices, and more. This builds connections between classroom learning and the real world. At the end of each semester, students lead a conference with their Learning Coaches and advisor as practice for future job interviews. Students are encouraged to dress for the role as they share what they have achieved and reflect on their progress in Five Cores: communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and character.
