Citizenship Program
Kealakehe High School offers one of the highest level of citizenship programs in the nation. Every morning for 15 or 45 minutes (depending on the day), all students attend their mandatory Citizenship class, which is similar to a Homeroom class, where they watch their Morning Broadcast program. The Morning Broadcast program is a morning class where students relay news to everyone else in the school. After the broadcast, teachers may come on and give assignments for the entire school to do (regardless of grade level). The entire school is assigned work to do during citizenship. The grading system for this program is as follows: A=95%-100% B=90%-94% C=85%-89% I (incomplete) is given for 80%-84% and F=79% and below. Citizenship class is worth .50 credits every year. The 9th and 10th grade Citizenship counts as elective credit. The 11th and 12th grade Citizenship may count as elective credit OR the required 4th year of Social Studies credit.

Famous quotes containing the words citizenship and/or program:
“Our citizenship in the United States is our national character. Our citizenship in any particular state is only our local distinction. By the latter we are known at home, by the former to the world. Our great title is AMERICANS—our inferior one varies with the place.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
“The rumor of a great city goes out beyond its borders, to all the latitudes of the known earth. The city becomes an emblem in remote minds; apart from the tangible export of goods and men, it exerts its cultural instrumentality in a thousand phases.”
—In New York City, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
