Central Middle School

Central Middle School Central Middle School - Onipa'a: Faithful; Resilient; Trustworthy CMS currently serves 407 students in grades 6 – 8.

Located in downtown Honolulu, Central Middle School (CMS) sits on a property filled with rich Hawaiian history. Students from five surrounding elementary schools feed into CMS: Ka’uilani, Likelike, Kauluwela, Royal, and Ka’ahumanu. Students come from diverse backgrounds, which for most students English is not the primary language spoken at home. We believe the key to high academic achievement are

powerful instructional practices in the classroom, strong relationships between and amongst all of our stakeholders, Rigor and Relevance in our existing curriculum, and a plethora of learning opportunities to prepare students for high school and ultimately college and career ready.

The positive culture you’ve fostered and your open-door policy make everyone feel valued. Thank you for your vision, compassion, and unwavering commitment to excellence in education. WE LOVE YOU!! - PRKMS Faculty and Staff

As Principal Passantino would say We>Me, he would want to make sure to acknowledge the State, District and School level teams that support him in his efforts to make Princess Ruth Ke’elikōlani Middle School the BEST MIDDLE SCHOOL IN TOWN!

It was an amazing day. Thank you to Hawaii 3Rs and for serving our school today. Even though the rain didn't let us do what we were supposed to, we still did some awesome work and got so much done. The highlight of the day was that 7 volunteers were alumni, and they got to see their yearbooks from their middle school years.
