Kapalama Elementary School is located at the mouth of the Kalihi Valley. The school community is multi-ethnic, and a substantial number of its students come from outside the school's normal attendance area. Kapalama is the third largest elementary school in the Honolulu District. The parents, faculty, staff and students all nurture children's self-esteem and promote children's interest in literacy and critical thinking. Kapalama Elementary School annually conducts a curriculum fair to display student work and to promote better understanding of standards-based learning. We have a well recognized chorus that performs at various sites across Oahu and participate in after school sports tournaments. The collaboration of the school community provided the foundation for being recognized as the Frito-Lay Honolulu District Outstanding Elementary School, 1996-97, and for receiving the 1995 PTA Advocate for Children's Award.
