Military dependents make up approximately 50% of the student population. The school's tree shaded campus is bordered by Moanalua Terrace military housing, Moanalua Shopping Center, and the Navy Exchange.
Pearl Harbor Elementary has a Transition Center designed to help students acclimate to the school environment. It is also a place where families are welcomed and provided with information about the community and local culture. The Transition Center provides academic assessments for all incoming students and tutoring services for those who are behind in their studies.
Ukulele and Chorus classes for students from grades 4 to 6 are offered after school hours. During this school year a band class was added to the music program.

The Birthday Book Program celebrates the birthdays of the students of Pearl Harbor Elementary. Participating parents make a donation to the library and their child chooses a Birthday Book from a selection of new library books. A bookplate with the child's name and birthday is placed in the front of a book indicating a donation has been made in honor of the child's birthday.
A Birthday Book provides reading pleasure for many and is a lasting contribution to the school. Children will enjoy returning to the library to look for books they have donated in the past.
This year over sixty children participated in the program. We appreciate the generosity of our parents in supporting our school and library. The children of our school will benefit.
The Pearl Harbor Elementary Library Club is a service-oriented club. As a volunteer library aide, students work in the library during recess to shelve books, help students borrow materials, do book talks, and various other tasks. It gives the students the opportunity to learn how to use libraries, find satisfaction in service to other students and teachers, and develop good work habits and skills. The qualifications for being an aide are teacher's recommendation, passing grades and keeping up with classroom assignments, and being a responsible, good citizen of the school.
The student council provides an opportunity for students to be involved in decision-making in regards to school improvement. Officers and class representatives are selected by students. The Student Council coordinates monthly activities (school spirit, educational, service, or money-making) for the student body.
The Honolulu Junior Police Officers Program is organized and administered for the purpose of training students in leadership and civic responsibility; and to assist the Honolulu Police Department in safeguarding students who cross the street in the vicinity of schools. Applications are distributed and selections are made throughout the school year. Students must be 10 years old or older to apply.
Two full-time counselors are available to assist students . The Counseling and Guidance Program consists of:
Tribes -- a school-wide effort to promote a positive learning environment for all students. This is a child-centered, community building program.
Drug Awareness/Prevention -- special videos and activities promote healthy, positive children.
Peer Mediation Program -- students help peers to resolve minor problems on the playground during recess. Selected students from grades 3-6 participate.
Individual and Group Counseling -- counseling services are provided as needed for students who need assistance with academic or personal situations
Classroom Guidance Lessons -- guidance lessons are provided in the classrooms to enhance students' skills in various areas.
Character Education Lesson -- a monthly character trait and accompanying lesson is addressed. Although emphasis is placed on the current trait of the month, students are encouraged to practice the trait thoughout the year.
To make an appointment, contact the counselors by phone 421-4125 or write a note and give it to your child's teacher.
This program is a support service for students whose first language is one other than English. The goal is to assist students in acquiring a level of English proficiency which will provide them with an equal opportunity to succeed in the regular education program.
The 2007-2008 Enrichment Program targets those students in grades 4-6 who are identified as having superior performance or potential indicating possible academic giftedness.

The newly formed PHES band (est. 2005-06) performs under the direction of Mr. Chang, our music teacher. The band rehearses on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It is made up of 30 members from the 4th through 6th grades. The PHES band recently received a "VH1 Save the Music" grant with the help of Mr. Chang.
