For more information on our Parent Organizations, please click here for the Papa Makua and PTA page. We need your kokua in planning fun events for our 'ohana!

Pū‘ōhala could not possibly provide for all of the programs that it would like to see its students be involved with at every level. Luckily, however, national, state and community organizations provide the extras that the school's budget cannot afford. Learn more about our great Partnerships and Caring 'Ohana!
