School Overview
Lahaina Intermediate School is located in the historic town of Lahaina on the island of Maui, Hawaii. Serving students in grades 6 through 8, the school acts as a vital educational hub for the West Maui community. Its curriculum is designed to support the academic and social-emotional development of adolescents, fostering a transition between elementary school and the high school environment. The school is part of the Hawaii State Department of Education system and reflects the unique cultural and geographic heritage of the Lahaina region.

In recent years, Lahaina Intermediate has gained significant national attention due to the catastrophic 2023 wildfires that devastated much of the surrounding town. The school community has demonstrated profound resilience, navigating the challenges of displaced students, school closures, and the eventual transition to temporary learning facilities. As the community continues to rebuild, the school remains a symbol of stability and hope, working closely with local stakeholders to ensure that students continue to receive a quality education while processing the significant impact of the disaster on their lives and hometown.
