AN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER

Oct. 15, 2021

Dear Pahoa parents and guardians,

The safety and well-being of our students at Pahoa High & Intermediate School is a high priority and we are committed to providing a secure campus.  

We are sending this letter home to inform you of a pattern of recent threats among students being posted on social media over the Fall Break. The Hawaii County Police Department has been made aware of this issue and officers will have an increased presence on our campus next week. Terroristic threats, bullying and fighting will not be tolerated on our campus and violators will face disciplinary action and possible criminal charges. 

The well-being of everyone at Pahoa High & Intermediate is a continual community effort and your voice is a critical part in keeping our campus safe. We ask for your help to speak to your child(ren) about the serious repercussions that can result from such actions. 

We also ask our adults to report social media threats or inappropriate comments and to not engage in ways that might inflame the situation. We teach our students to be responsible, respectful, community-minded citizens and we expect all adults to be good role models for our keiki

Thank you very much for your attention and we ask for your continued kokua to help keep our campus safe and secure. If you have any questions, please contact any administrator at
808-313-4300. 

Sincerely,
Kim Williamson
Principal
