• Aloha and Welcome,

    HTA recognizes the need to continually reflect on our practices to fuel constant growth. The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) Accrediting Commission offers a comprehensive process to ensure a robust examination of our past, present, and future. More specifically, that process includes all-staff reflection sessions, detailed data analysis, student and parent surveys, and a collective exploration of our mission and vision. 

    HTA received its official accreditation from WASC in the 2013-2014 school year. A WASC Committee also submitted a mid-cycle review in 2017. 

    As part of an effort to make the self study WASC Accreditation process detailed and extensive, HTA involved numerous stakeholders in the reflective exercises: staff, administration, and the HTA governing board. 

    HTA is excited to welcome the WASC visiting committee in the Fall of 2020. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, all visits will be virtual; nevertheless, HTA is excited to partner with WASC experts to continually improve.

    Please navigate the tabs for more information, including campus photos/tours, videos, and important documents.

    Mahalo!
    HTA O’hana

  • EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING AT HTA

    Experiential learning is at the very core of how HTA does school differently. We provide our students with the opportunity to engage in place-based and project-based experiences that allow them to apply their academic knowledge and technical skills in a real-world setting. After all, education should extend well beyond the walls of a traditional classroom. Through our unique Career-Based/Work-Based Learning Program, students acquire invaluable knowledge through hands-on, personal experience. This kind of educational approach furnishes our students with the skills, confidence, and knowledge needed to make a difference in the world around them.
