KĪHEI CAMPUS
MAUI
hello!
Thanks for stopping by. Please take a look around to see how we do school differently on the Kīhei campus. We have to say, from K through 12, we are proud of our supportive and inclusive culture and the hands-on opportunities we offer.
Just a few things that make Kīhei awesome
OUR SHINY NEW CAMPUS
This year we are moving (across the hallway, really) to our brand new campus. This has been designed and built specially for us with all the things we need to do school differently.
THE HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES
We learn best by doing. Experiential learning is at the core of how HTA does school differently. Our teachers design and deliver an innovative, project-based curriculum.
‘OHANA DAYS
Our elementary and middle school students love to get together and celebrate with ‘Ohana Days, when the entire family is invited to join staff for potlucks, games, activities, and sometimes prizes!
FURRY FRIENDS FRIDAY
It's pats all around on elementary school Furry Friends Friday! We partner often with the Maui Humane Society. Our students have raised money to support their mission. And on Fridays, some of our four-legged friends visit campus.
CELEBRATIONS
Pizza lunches, open mic nights, exhibitions, school dances ... we have an active parent group — our HTA ‘Ohana Committee (HOC) — which helps students and staff organize fun events throughout the year.
OUR TEACHERS
& STAFF
Simply the best.
ENRICHMENT & CLUBS
We have an awesome range of enrichment activities and clubs for everyone. Elementary students can build with Bricks for Kidz or get active with Maui Tumblers. Middle and high schoolers have a range of options that allow them to hone their creativity, scientific thinking, or leadership skills. Our students can also join their peers from around the state via online clubs, which run the gamut from AI to gaming to Korean appreciation.
FIELD STUDIES
Our students are regularly spotted in the field. Last year our Grade 4 and 5 students joined efforts to protect the East Maui Watershed by planting native shrubs at the Haleakalā Ranch Pu‘u Pahu Reserve. Students also learned about erosion by venturing out weekly with their Learning Coaches to observe and measure weathering, erosion, and deposition.
CAREER-BASED LEARNING
Our innovative Career-Based Learning program allows high school students to gain skills and experience out in the real world. One student built his own radio telescope in an internship with the Institute for Astronomy. Another student worked with a research lab, testing the effects of drugs on cells.

Allison Trapp
KĪHEI CAMPUS DIRECTOR • atrapp@myhta.org
During my professional basketball career I developed what has become my personal motto: be caring and respectful, have empathy and a great attitude. That is what fuels us to be our best. I graduated from the University of Delaware before playing in the WNBA for the San Antonio Silver Stars and then internationally. When I went back to school to earn my MBA in leadership, I knew I was going to land in education, and I have been in various leadership roles in this field for more than 10 years, including at a charter school in Philadelphia. I joined HTA Kīhei in 2022 as a math teacher and stepped into the campus director role the following year. I am honored to serve the HTA ‘ohana. In my spare time I love to garden; there’s magic in cultivating plants. I love to fish; there’s patience and strategy required to be a successful fisher. I love to surf and bodyboard because waiting for the right wave will make your day. I also love to go camping because being outdoors with the elements fills my soul.
