The ‘Iolani ‘Ohana is the official parent organization of ‘Iolani School and all parents/guardians are welcome as members.

We seek to instill a sense of inclusion and belonging for all parents and families as we build a vibrant and supportive community through social activities and programs.

Being a part of the ‘Iolani ‘Ohana is a wonderful opportunity to get actively involved in our community. It’s also a great way to develop lasting relationships with the families in your child’s grade, while providing an important service to the school.
