At Punahou, students are encouraged to speak out. This gives them an easy confidence that translates well in social settings whether they be nerve-wracking job interviews, casual corporate get-togethers or organized political debates. This is the community we think all children should be privileged to be a part of, no matter what their social or financial circumstances are. This diverse, complex, stimulating, questioning, environmentally aware intellectual and social environment that Punahou provides encourages a pay-it-forward psyche that is so needed in this current atmosphere of divisiveness. We are honored to be a continuing part of this Punahou legacy.
