Hanalani ‘Ohana
At Hanalani Schools, our story has always been shaped by people—by the relationships, generosity, and shared purpose of our ‘ohana. From alumni and current families to grandparents, community partners, and friends near and far, each connection strengthens who we are and who we are becoming.
Hanalani Schools' mission is to help students find their God-given strengths and interests which lead to discovering their passions and purpose. We believe development is one of the ways we live out that mission—by building meaningful relationships, staying connected, and inviting our ‘ohana to be part of something greater. We genuinely love getting to know our community, hearing your stories, and creating opportunities to grow together.
Whether you’ve been part of Hanalani for years or are just getting to know us, there is a place for you here. Together, we continue to nurture a community rooted in faith, generosity, and a shared commitment to empowering the next generation.
We'd love to connect with you, reach out to us at development@hanalani.org to learn more about the many ways you can be involved and support the school through volunteering, giving, and prayer.
