Aloha High School

Aloha High School has a long tradition of help our community. This year we are sponsoring 15 elementary school families from our feeder schools and 125 of our own homeless teens. We know that this time of year can be difficult and we want to help each other. It is important to let people know that they matter, that we care about each other and we will share what we can.

Please remember our guidelines for determining whether or not a student should come to school if they're ill. Please remind parents to visit our Too Sick for School webpage for information about when to keep kids home from school.

If a student becomes ill during the school day, the student must go to the school's health room to be evaluated and then signed out by a parent/guardian.

We are looking for individuals interested in assisting with the various activities throughout the year. We provide support for Aloha High School in various ways, such as Senior Breakfast, Senior Grad Party, and programs that fall outside the school district budget.

The time commitment is flexible. If you are interested in joining a committee or becoming a board member, please reach out to us at alohapto@gmail.com, or browse through the different opportunities by clicking HERE.
