Why Families Choose Damien Memorial School (Grades 6–12)

Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions a family can make.

At Damien Memorial School, families aren’t just choosing an academic program, they’re choosing a community grounded in faith, leadership, and opportunity.

For generations, Damien has been committed to forming students who are prepared not only for college, but for life.

A Strong Academic Foundation with College Preparation in Mind

Damien Memorial School offers a rigorous, college-preparatory curriculum designed to challenge students while providing the support they need to succeed. With a variety of Advanced Placement (AP) courses, students have opportunities to earn college credit and develop critical thinking, discipline, and time-management skills early.

Our classrooms emphasize meaningful learning, encouraging collaboration, curiosity, and real-world application.

Faith as a Foundation

As a Catholic school rooted in the Edmund Rice tradition, faith is woven into daily life at Damien. Through prayer, liturgies, service, and reflection, students are guided to lead with compassion, integrity, and purpose.

We believe education should form both the mind and the heart, preparing young people to serve others and contribute positively to their communities.

Leadership Development Beyond the Classroom

Leadership at Damien is not limited to titles or positions. Students grow as leaders through clubs, athletics, service programs, Campus Ministry, and initiatives like DMTV, our student-run broadcast.

These opportunities allow students to build confidence, find their voice, and develop skills that translate well beyond high school.

Athletics, Facilities, and Student Growth

Athletics play an important role in the holistic development of Damien students. Through competition, student-athletes learn discipline, teamwork, resilience, and accountability.

With continued investment in facilities, such as the De Veuster Multi-Sport Field, Damien remains committed to providing safe, high-quality spaces where students can grow and thrive.

A Community That Feels Like ʻOhana

One of the most common things families share is how supported and welcomed they feel at Damien. Students are known by name, encouraged to grow, and challenged to become their best selves.

Teachers, staff, and administrators work in partnership with families to ensure each student feels seen, valued, and supported throughout their journey.

Building Confidence, Character, and a Future of Possibilities

At Damien Memorial School, education goes beyond academics. Students graduate with confidence, strong values, and a clear sense of purpose; ready to take on college, careers, and leadership roles in their communities.
