CEEO/Principal: John Colson
The School Leadership Team at Waimea Middle School welcomed a new CEEO in SY2008-2009 who is a highly respected Hawai’i Island educational leader, serving many roles over 25 years, Headmaster and middle and upper school principal, at Hawai’i Preparatory Academy (HPA) in the Waimea community.
Waimea Middle School Public Conversion Charter School (WMPCCS), located in Kamuela on the Big Island of Hawaii, serves students in grades six to eight. Utilizing a middle school framework and philosophy, teaching and learning are conducted with the belief that all children can achieve to high standards. The community is a blend of ranching, farming, and high technology. Headquarters for Parker Ranch, Keck Observatory, Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Corporation and the North Hawaii Community Hospital are located within the town limits.
Waimea Middle School’s ‘Ike Hawai’i cultural learning program and strategies have—over the last three years—become an integral and essential component guiding a school-wide process of selecting Hawaiian-focused cultural curriculum, projects, practices and perspectives to be formally implemented for the school year.
