What is the Student Resource Center?
The goal of the Student Resource Center is to provide a low-barrier, accessible space where students in need can access essential resources, including clothing, food, hygiene products, and school supplies. This initiative aims to remove barriers to education by ensuring that all students, regardless of their circumstances, can fully participate in their academic and extracurricular activities. Through the resource center, we seek to foster a sense of belonging by not only providing vital resources so no student feels unequipped to attend school but also by empowering students to manage and operate the center. The center is student-run, with support from The Aloha Student Action Council, and our specialized programs where students will be able to gain work experience in areas such as inventory management, customer service, and community outreach. By creating a student resource center, we aim to reduce the impacts of homelessness on students at Aloha High School, helping them succeed academically and thrive personally. Additionally, we are providing multiple opportunities for students to gain valuable experience, build community, and unite in our efforts to support one another.
Donating to the Student Resource Center
The student Resource Center relies on donations of clothing from our gracious community. Donations can be dropped off in the donation bins in the main office, between 7:45 am and 3:00 pm M-F. Before you donate, please take a quick look at our approved items list to make sure we can use what you’re giving. We can only accept items on that list—clothes, school supplies, hygiene products, and non-perishable food.
Aloha Student Action Council
The Aloha Student Action Council (ASAC) is a student group here at Aloha that operates the resource center. The group is made up of student leaders who are dedicated to helping their community. ASAC meet once a week during the last super warrior time of the week. If you are a student and you are interested in getting involved. Please scan the QR below.

Donate to Club Hope
Club hope
Club Hope is a fund dedicated to supporting McKinney-Vento students, as well as other students facing significant challenges at Aloha High School. The fund aims to remove barriers to their full engagement in education by addressing basic needs like food, clothing, and shelter, as well as providing access to extracurricular activities such as clubs, athletics, and school events. We know that when students have their basic needs met and can participate in school activities, they are more likely to graduate and excel academically. Donations to Club Hope help provide essential supplies, food, clothing, holiday assistance, and support for students to attend events like dances and football games. Our goal is to ensure that students can show up to school feeling dignified, with their needs met, and able to fully participate in all aspects of school life, fostering a sense of inclusion and belonging.

What is our role at Aloha High School?
Our mission is to remove the barriers that stand between students and their education.
These barriers often include housing instability, mental and behavioral health needs, and limited access to essential resources such as clothing and food.
What we do each day:
• Respond to mental-health crises within the school
• Teach coping skills, stress-management strategies, and emotional regulation
• Connect families with community resources and support services
• Provide mental-health education and suicide-prevention awareness to our school and the wider community
We hope to ensure that every student has the tools, support, and stability they need to thrive—both in the classroom and in life.
