Solomon Elementary supports all cultures by welcoming and caring for the needs of the whole child. We are committed to three core values for Success for Every Student: We are always learning, we are a safe place, and we embrace the military community…this is “The Solomon Story”. Our students deserve a challenging curriculum with high-quality learning experiences and “essential” learning opportunities inspire and nurture all students, eg. Hawaiiana, music, kinesthetic arts, computer science, MakerSpace, etc. We are a safe place by promoting trust, responsibility, and equality through the building of relationships, providing school based behavioral and emotional support, valuing input from the school community and empowering students and staff to lead to change in and out of school. We embrace the military community by supporting our families and students through a Transition Center and building relationships between families and the school. This relationship also extends beyond the school into the community by connecting with our military partners and those that support the military community.The Hawaii State Department of Education is committed to hiring highly qualified teachers in every classroom.
