Focus on technology

Mililani High School was one of the first public high schools in Hawaiʻi to introduce podcasting into its curriculum. It allows instructors to post lectures, allows administratiors to disseminate information, and gives students a global stage on which they can display works in the form of video/audio downloads. The MHS QwikNews podcast uses iTunes.

Rigor in the Curriculum

Mililani High School is actively engaged in developing excellence in Advanced Placement and Pre-AP programs. All of the MHS AP offerings have successfully satisfied the College Board AP audit process. The first pre-ap course offering was in the Social Studies Dept. for the 2007-08 school year with more to follow. Four MHS teachers have received invitations to be readers for the 2008 College Board AP exams. One of these teachers was invited to be a Table Leader at the 2008 APWH reading.
