Vision Statement

Families, staff and community working together to graduate successful learners who are job, school, and life-ready.

Our vision places LCPCS at the heart of our community, a place where shared cultural and community values are transformed into action and everyone has a role to play in ensuring that students succeed, families are engaged, and teachers thrive. Students, parents, staff and community members envision the school as a place of high level achievement, family support, community engagement, and leadership development.

Our community school will be a place where:

  • the school culture supports continuous improvement
  • everyone believes all students can learn
  • instruction focuses on preparing students for their future
  • students make seamless transitions
  • supportive and successful relationships thrive
  • ·operations are effective, efficient, and transparent
  • decisions are evidence-based
  • individual responsibility and institutional accountability are the norm
  • parents and community members are welcome on campus and meaningfully involved in school governance and other activities

We envision a thriving school as the heart of the community: When children and adults alike are seen as works in progress, striving to learn and grow, the school becomes the center of daily life.

Our Values In Practice

‘O Hawai‘i ke kahua o ka ho‘ona‘auao.

The Governing Board will use this information to inform its mission, vision and values decisions going forward. The HĀ outcomes and indicators noted below will provide guidelines and expectations for student behavior and social-emotional learning throughout the school day.

Seasider ‘Ohana,

On March 2, 2022, we had an Effects of Vaping presentation hosted by Sally Ancheta from the Tobacco Free Hawaii Island Coalition for our families, staff, and community members. We have posted the presentation recording on our social media pages and website to share it with those who weren’t able to attend.

Sally has extensive knowledge about tobacco products and the industry that sells them. She has arranged to be on our campus on Wednesday, March 23, 2022, to present to our middle and high school students.

If you have any questions related to the Effects of Vaping presentation and would like more information, please feel free to contact Sally Ancheta at [email protected] or Director Kurt Rix at [email protected].
