Hilo High is a diverse cultural education. The family of alumni and educators works very hard to give the students their best efforts. Hilo High is a school that teaches real life lessons. Not everything is perfect and some areas need work. But the students leave with a quality education.

In addition to a good selection of classes, there are numerous extra-curricular activities including: Mock Trial, Academic Decathlon, Junior Achievement,Model U.N., Performing Arts (Hilo High is a performing arts learning center), JROTC, athletics, numerous clubs (Key, Leo, Junior Greenpeace). The school has taken numerous state championships in Academic Decathlon, Mock Trial, Science Bowl, Japan Bowl, and Paradise Pursuits (environmental knowledge). Graduates are or have been attending, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, USC, West Point, and the Air Force Academy in addition to colleges located within Hawaii and west coast states. Overall test scores for school do not reflect education received by students who come from families with supportive parents.

Check to see if students with disabilities are a priority because otherwise the state doesn't pay for that child to go to School if they don't have a disability your child has to be put on a waiting list for pre-k! if their not

1.Go on a tour of a school tour 2. Talk to the director (and the teacher your child will have) about what the students day like. 3. Watch school in session 4. Look out for red flags: neglected children at play, lazy, non engaging teachers
