Learning Centers for an educated South Maui!

Over a decade ago, a group of concerned Maui citizens formed a task force to plan for a public high school in Kihei.

As a result of these high school planning meetings, the initial legislation for charter schools in Hawaii was drafted. This legislative bill was passed in the spring of 2000, authorizing the State Board of Education to establish public charter schools in Hawaii.

This task force evolved into the tax exempt, non-profit organization South Maui Learning Ohana, Inc., or SMLO.

    WOW! What a success. I want to personally thank each of you for the fabulous job you did putting on a class event. In addition we raised approximately $25,000 for the school. That's before expenses. We'll get the final figures in a day or two.
