Campus Update: August 14, 2026

Aloha Sacred Hearts Academy ‘Ohana,

We continue to closely monitor the developing storm system and its potential impact on our community. A Tropical Storm Watch is currently in effect for O‘ahu.

At this time, the Academy will continue normal operations. Our maintenance and operations teams are monitoring the campus and taking appropriate precautions in preparation for the weekend.

We have several Academy events scheduled over the weekend. Please look for communications through the Sacred Hearts Academy website, social media, and directly from event organizers regarding any changes, postponements, or cancellations.

We will also communicate with our ‘ohana regarding school operations for Monday as we assess weather conditions over the weekend, the safety of our facilities, and safe access to campus.

The safety and well-being of our students, families, faculty, and staff remain our highest priority. Because conditions may vary across the island, we encourage everyone to monitor local weather and emergency communications closely.

Mahalo for your continued partnership and care for one another. Please prioritize safety and take good care of yourselves and your families.

Brandy Ann Sato, Ph.D. 

President

Mahalo for Participating in our Academy Safety Drill

Mahalo to our Sacred Hearts Academy campus community for participating in our first safety drill of the 2026–2027 academic year!

Drills like these are an important opportunity for our students, faculty, staff, and guests to practice and become familiar with the procedures in place to help keep everyone safe in the event of an emergency.

Preparedness starts with knowing what to do, where to go, and how to respond. Mahalo to everyone for taking this drill seriously and helping us strengthen a culture of safety and readiness across our campus.

Together, we are prepared. Together, we keep our Sacred Hearts ʻohana safe.

Hula Dance Studio Blessing

🌺 A New Space for Hula, Culture & Connection 🌺

Sacred Hearts Academy recently celebrated the blessing of our new Hula Dance Studio, a dedicated space where students will deepen their connection to Hawaiʻi through hula, language, history, storytelling, and tradition.

Our hālau, Nā Puʻuwai o ka Ua Līlīlehua, takes its name from the misty rain of Līlīlehua, traditionally associated with Pālolo and the upper areas of Waikīkī—the rain of the area surrounding Sacred Hearts Academy. Like the cool, gentle Līlīlehua rain, our young women are called to care for and nurture their ʻāina and community of Kaimukī. 🌧️🌺

This school year, Kumu Haukea Ho ’97, a proud SHA alumna, will lead hula instruction for middle and high school students, as well as after-school enrichment classes.

Through hula, students will learn more than choreography. They will discover Hawaiian language, history, values, storytelling, and a deeper respect for place—honoring traditions while carrying them forward.

Mahalo nui loa to Moʻolelo Studios for helping bring this vision to life and investing in the cultural education of our students for generations to come. 🤍💛
