Distinction in Public Service

The Distinction in Public Service is granted to Punahou Academy students who demonstrate a deep commitment to community engagement in a way that is meaningful, intentional, and impactful.

Students in the Public Service Distinction program pursue a multi-year journey to learn about themselves and how they fit into their community of interest. Along the way, they engage in service projects, coursework and reflection exercises. Upon completion of the Distinction requirements, student candidates exhibit their learning in a portfolio presentation that is reviewed by a panel of faculty.
