Principal/Poʻokumu Makala Pa‘akaula and
Vice Principal/Hope Poʻokumu Sheri Dano

Makala Paʻakaula attended Pū‘ōhala as a child and is the product of Castle Complex schools with a son at Castle High and another that graduated. She worked for the Department of Education prior to our school as a High School VP and Elementary teacher. Po‘okumu Makala views her principalship as a chance to give back to the community, provide leadership that makes a difference and make student-centered decisions.
“I believe in the ripple effect and now I have greater impact on how far the ripples travel. It’s my kuleana. It’s important to know where you come from –your heritage, background and culture. When we stumble and fall, well-grounded roots give us the strength and courage to get up and grow even stronger.”

Sheri Dano grew up on the Windward side in Kaʻaʻawa and graduated from Kahuku High School. She is dual certified in, and taught both, Elementary and Special Education. She has been teaching with the Department of Education for 16 years as a resource SPEd, general education teacher, and worked as a Student Services Coordinator. She has taught at Māʻili, Hauʻula, and Kahaluʻu Elementary, and most recently worked for the Windward District as a peer mentor resource teacher.
