Waialua Elementary School is proud to announce that they have the honor of being the first Elementary School in the State of Hawaii to become a National Unified Champion School.

Special Olympics Unified Champion Schools addresses many challenges faced by students. These schools create communities where all students (with and without disabilities) feel welcome and are routinely included in all school activities.

Becoming a Champion School was no easy task. Waialua Elementary had to meet 10 rigorous standards of excellence which include playing at least two Unified sports a year, creating inclusive environments across the entire school, and having sustainable practices of acceptance.

Congratulations Waialua Elementary School!
