General Learner Outcomes 2: Work well with Others
Standard: It is expected that Ho’okena Students develop knowledge, skills and attitudes that will help them to: Take care of themselves, Take care of each other and Take care of Ho’okena School Why? So we can get along with other people and become happy, worthwhile, contributing citizens at Ho’okena and eventually in our global society. Receiving a well-rounded and balanced education is an important way to accomplish this aim.

All students have a right to learn in a safe, secure environment. Students and staff members are jointly responsible for creating and maintaining this positive school atmosphere. It is the responsibility of the student to learn and not to infringe on the rights of other students to learn or of teachers to teach.

Respect and Responsibility Be a good citizen! Play fair, show good sportsmanship. Share, let others play and treat others as you want to be treated.
