	School History
McKinley High School was officially established in 1865, as the Fort Street English Day School by the Reverend M. B. Beckwith. In November, 1869, the English Day School moved from the basement of the old Fort Street Church to a new stone building on the corner of Fort and School Streets. The Fort Street School later moved to Princess Ruth's palace in 1895, and was renamed the Honolulu High School. In 1907, Honolulu High School moved to the corner of Beretania and Victoria Streets. The school's name was then changed to McKinley High School, after President William McKinley, whose influence helped to bring about the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands to the United States. With growing enrollment, a new and bigger school was necessary. In 1921, the present site on King Street was acquired through territorial condemnation. In 1923, the school was moved from the Beretania Victoria site to its present location. McKinley High School is proud to be listed on both State and National Register of Historical Places.
Traditions
McKinley is a school rich in traditions. Among these are the annual Commencement Exercise which is held outdoors on the school grounds, the singing of Black and Gold and Alma Mater at school events, the Hall of Honor, the celebration of President McKinley's birthday and the school's heritage on Black & Gold Day. One tradition firmly upheld is not walking on the oval, the grassy area surrounding President William McKinley's statue. Only a graduating senior is allowed the privilege of walking on the oval on his or her Commencement Day.

		EXPECTED SCHOOLWIDE LEARNING RESULTS (ESLRs)
	McKinley High School graduates will be literate communicators and community contributors.
LITERATE COMMUNICATOR · uses skills in reading, writing, and oral communication effectively in a variety of situations · recognizes non-verbal media as a means of communication · accesses, evaluates, and uses information · uses technology for effective communication · uses language to describe problem-solving and other thinking processes COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTOR · participates in community service activities · respects others, self, and property · displays concern for global issues · exhibits ethical, responsible behavior · accepts rights and responsiblities of citizenship DRESS CODE School dress plays an important role in the creation of a proper educational atmosphere. Styles and the manner in which clothing are worn change from time to time. The school recognizes this fact and will make allowances for such changes within reasonable limits. However, when the type of clothing worn or the way in which it is worn causes distraction or disruption in the school, or creates a health or safety problem, the student wearing such apparel will be asked to change to more appropriate dress. McKinley High School will provide an atmosphere that will reflect the standards that future employers will expect from their worker. As an important part of an ongoing education, it is important that all students understand what is acceptable wear.

ATTENDANCE POLICY AND PROCEDURES
President William McKinley High School has developed this attendance policy to provide the maximum learning environment to effectively teach our students to be successful and responsible persons. Students are expected to attend class daily and be present when the tardy bell rings. In accordance to DOE attendance procedures, all references to "excused" and "unexcused" absences and tardies have been dropped. Parents of students absent from school or tardy to school/class can expect a computerized telephone call home in the evening. If absent or tardy, the student must submit an authorized note from parent, teacher, counselor or other school official to receiving teacher. If tardy without authorization, student must report to the attendance office for an "admit to class" pass. Students tardy to class must check in with the attendance office for admittance to school or class. Any student reporting to class after the starting time designated by our school will be considered tardy. Detention and/or other consequences may be assigned to tardy students. The student must initiate the request for makeup work. For absences due to suspension, teachers are not required to provide makeup work. However, automatic F's and 0's shall not be given for assignments that students are not allowed to make up or mere physical absence from class. Grade should be commensurate with work done and progress made by the student. · CONSEQUENCES FOR TARDINESS TO SCHOOL: In-School Suspension maybe assigned for tardiness to school. A total of three tardies per quarter will be allowed without In-School Suspension ( ISS). Teachers will assign consequences for the first three (3) tardies. Upon the fourth tardy, the student will be sent to ISS for the class period. No show to ISS constitutes Insubordination and the student will be subject to the following disciplinary action: a. Lunch or After School Detention; b. MHS Saturday Class; c. All Day In-School Suspension; d. Suspension For more information and clarification, please call your teen's counselor or administrator.

The "F" will appear on the report card and transcript. This "F" will be calculated into the GPA. Procedure for program changes: 1) See your counselor.

Unsatisfactory Progress Reports and Report Cards
