The proposed role of an administrative vice principal dean of students aims to enhance oversight and support for the Lahainaluna Boarding Program, allowing for better management of unique needs that traditional principals might not fully grasp. This resolution emphasizes the need for a dedicated leader to address immediate staffing and operational requirements while overseeing the recruitment of students and the implementation of key programs designed to support their educational journey.

HCR172 is a House Concurrent Resolution from the State of Hawaii's Thirty-first Legislature that requests the establishment of a full-time equivalent position of administrative vice principal dean of students specifically for the Lahainaluna High School Boarding Program. With its historic roots dating back to 1836, this program is uniquely positioned to offer enriching experiences to approximately one thousand students, including various academic and extracurricular activities. The resolution highlights the commitment to foster students as leaders and contributors to society, recognizing the diverse backgrounds of students both from Hawaii and abroad.

These include ongoing funding, the establishment of relevant student programs, and the exploration of public-private partnerships to support sustainable practices, such as alternative energy solutions.
