Elementary Concerts: concerts directed by music teacher, Cynthia Debus. They hold concerts in Haʻaeamahi Dining Hall for their Spring and Christmas Concerts.
Junior Class Greek Day: A Greek Culture Day with games, food, music, and dance. Students are split into competing "city-states" with cheers, Greek costumes .
Freshmen Makahiki (A Hawaiian Culture Day): students play Hawaiian games and learn to dance hula.
May Day: Every year on May 1, High School, Middle School, and Elementary School students participate in the festivities of hula. All elementary students participate in their show, and Hawaiian Ensemble puts on the show for middle school. Normally, middle school and elementary school watch and support each other's shows.
Ho'olaule'a: Every year the school puts on a Hoʻolauleʻa which consists of games for kids, delicious local foods, booths by local vendors, entertainment from the elementary choir and a local band.

“... the more we recruit from immigrants who bring no personal traditions with them, the more America is going to ignore the things of the spirit. No one whose consuming desire is either for food or for motor-cars is going to care about culture, or even know what it is.”
