Since prom is the day after May Day we encourage students to reuse any May Day lei or flowers for prom! THIS IS A FORMAL EVENT, formal gowns, prom dresses, tuxedos, and suits are expected.

AUTOSTART HAWAII – AUTOMOTIVE CLASS FOR CLASS OF 2028
Ever wanted to get out of the classroom and under the hood of a car?
We have a unique opportunity for you to take an elective course next year that we don’t offer here on campus: AutoSTART Hawaii. This is a hands-on automotive program where you’ll work with real tools, visit professional repair shops, and learn the technology behind modern vehicles.
The Best Part: Your Schedule
Because this program takes place off-campus in the afternoons (1:00 PM – 3:00 PM), students who are accepted will have periods 4 and 8 as off-campus blocks to allow for travel and class time.
It’s a great way to get a head start on a career while experiencing a different style of learning during your junior year.
Quick Facts:
- What:A no-cost automotive foundations course.
- Where: Training takes place at Kaimuki High School and Honolulu Community College.
- The Perk:Earn high school elective credit, potentially math credit and an Automotive Industry Career-Readiness Certificate.
- The Schedule:Monday–Friday, 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM (Starting August 2026).
Next Steps:
To get started, you must follow these specific steps:
- Visit the program website at autostarthawaii.comand request an application directly through their site.
- Talk to us immediately. You must keep your grade level counselor or the CCRC updated on your application status. We need to review your credits to ensure you can afford to have periods 4 and 8 off-campus while still staying on track for graduation.
Ready to shift gears? See your grade-level counselor, Ms. Ishii, and/or the CCRC in H101 to talk about how to make this fit into your junior year schedule!
