Student Life
The life of a Priory girl is created by more than just academics. There are many clubs and organizations to join. Campus events, traditions, and other special activities throughout the year make life at The Priory spirited and exciting.
CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS
More than 20 clubs and organizations are available for the Upper School girls – and it is easy to create your own club!
Students are encouraged to join clubs and organizations to embody the vision of our founder, Queen Emma, and live by our school motto, Kūlia i ka Nu'u (“Strive for the Highest”). To support student participation, meeting times are built into the school day schedule. Special projects or activities may also take place after school or on the weekends. On average, each student actively participates in 3-5 clubs and/or organizations.
Our clubs and organizations fall into three main categories: service, global interest, and education. Many overlap because of the value The Priory places on being global learners and serving the greater community. What makes The Priory special are the diverse and inclusive clubs that have a global focus, and are service- and project-oriented. Through clubs and organizations, students meet other peers from different grades and create another family outside of their grade levels.

STUDENT EXPERIENCES
Jessica Mukae '22
“Priory clubs and organizations all have deep and sincerely rooted purposes. They also are wonderful at bringing together our school for greater purposes that are important to students. I joined each club to pursue an interest of mine whether that be service projects, technology, and coding, or my awareness of world issues. Additionally, I think clubs are a great opportunity for me to get to know other grades better, thus cultivating my understanding of the school community.”

“What’s special about the clubs at The Priory are the different ways we can make the world a better place. I joined the Kindness Club because I think the world deserves kindness. I joined I.T. Crew because I think it's cool how we can use technology to make different things. Lastly, I joined Hui Hauʻoli because I love our school and hula and I want to represent Queen Emma."

“I joined the Kindness Club because I wanted to do something kind for the school. I also read about the things that I.T. Crew was going to do throughout the year and joined because I like to code and design 3D-printed objects. I think it's special to participate in clubs at school because it's fun to join something that everyone likes to do."

“I joined Interact to participate in the various service projects including Toys for Tots and Days for Girls. I enjoy being in the Pacific and Asian Affairs Council (PAAC) Club because they do multiple hands-on simulations and go on a lot of education-based field trips. I love hula and Hawaiian culture so I joined Hui Hauʻoli to express myself and become closer to Queen Emma. I wanted to get better at technology and computer functions so I joined the I.T. Crew. I joined the GSA Club because I was generally interested in it and I joined Kindness Club so that I can spread more kindness in my community."
