As a non-profit organization, the Waiakea High School Foundation administers grants to the school to benefit students at Waiakea High School. These grants have helped Waiakea High School establish and support the career academies in varying fields, given funding to service clubs to kokua the community, and supported college readiness and robotics programs.
We are building an endowment of $500,000 to further benefit the students and programs at Waiakea High School. We have thus far raised approximately $10,000. Funds have been given to the WHS AVID program, which will continue to help selected WHS graduates go on to obtain a college education. Funds were also allotted to the WHS Robotics Team, who sponsored the tournament.

As an adult student returning to school, I needed to earn a GED to qualify for FAFSA in Hawaii. The adult school at WHS will encourage you to take night classes, but if you think you're able, you can insist on taking the GED exam right away. Its harder than it used to be, but I made it on my first try. It didn't take very much preparation or time. I was able to qualify for FAFSA right away.
