We are incredibly grateful to our amazing team from ASB Bank American Savings Bank !

Your service to our school was nothing short of extraordinary. Thanks to your hard work, you completed projects that saved us more than 500 hours of manpower. From painting to deep cleaning, you transformed areas of our campus that simply would not have been possible without your generosity.

As the first day of school quickly approaches, our campus is ready to welcome students because of your time, dedication, passion, and incredible can-do spirit. Your willingness to serve is a true reflection of what it means to invest in our community.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your partnership, your support, and the love you've shown Princess Ruth Keʻelikōlani Middle School. We are truly blessed to have you as part of our ʻohana!

A huge shout out to our friends at Palama Settlement for being such an incredible partner in the McKinley Complex community!

Today, we had the opportunity to visit with Executive Director Sam Aiona and learn about the amazing work Palama Settlement does every day to support our community—from keiki to kupuna. Their commitment to serving families is truly inspiring.

We are excited to strengthen our partnership this school year and work together to create even more opportunities for our students, families, and community. Mahalo, Palama Settlement, for all that you do!

Help our keiki start strong. Shout out to our Rotary partners. They will be at Fisher Hawaii (kaka ako or Mapunapuna) teaming up with their friends to help get essentials for our students.

The team has moved on to C Building! Another great week at the prestigious Princess Ruth Keʻelikōlani Middle School.

A huge mahalo to our custodial team for their dedication and pride in keeping our campus looking its best. Your efforts make a difference every day and help create a welcoming environment for our students, staff, and families. We appreciate all that you do!
