Leilehua High School is very sensitive to the particular needs of a transient student population. In response to these needs, the Leilehua Transition Center was established in 2005 to better meet the challenges faced by transitioning students. Each year, the Transition Center welcomes approximately 250 new students, over half from military families.
At the Aloha Transition Center our mission is to:
· Provide a personal, friendly welcome to each new student.
. Our ambassador program is made up of about 20 students who tour new students and make connections with them on their first day at Leilehua.
· Offer new students the opportunity to connect with peers.
· Inform students and parents of the school's quality educational services and of opportunities to become involved.
· Provide on-going support to new students and communication with parents.
· Alert faculty and administration to the sensitivities and vulnerabilities by transitioning students
and families.
