Awards

U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon School

The U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools (ED-GRS) is a public engagement initiative for school sustainability that is structured as a federal recognition award. By highlighting schools, districts, postsecondary institutions, and early learning centers’ cost-saving, health promoting, and performance-enhancing sustainability practices, ED-GRS celebrates these institutions and brings more attention to their work.

SEEQS received the recognition as a Green Ribbon School in 2020 after demonstrating years of sustainability-focused practices. We have joined a national cadre of environmental and community advocates who are focused on shepherding the next generation of sustainable leaders.

Faculty Awards

SEEQS has had five Hawaiʻi Charter School Teachers of the Year, receiving the award four years in row from 2017 to 2020, and then again in 2022! These videos below were produced by the Charter Commission to highlight each teacher and their unique approach to education. Additionally, we have also had faculty selected as part of the prestigious Hawaiʻi State Teacher Fellows (HSTF) who are chosen from across all of the Hawaiian Islands for their demonstration of outstanding teacher leadership.

SEEQS Social Studies teacher Lucas Dembart was chosen as a 2022-2024 Hawaiʻi State Teacher Fellow!
