Lt. Col. Horace Meek Hickam Elementary School (HES) was established in 1950 and is situated on Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam in Honolulu, Hawaii. Many surrounding homes and buildings are determined to be historic through the National Register of Historic Places and the local military designation. These protected structures are important, as they help to define the community from the memory of World War II and with a sense of orientation to military traditions. The water tower fronting the school commemorates the victory and was aptly named the Freedom Tower.
Hickam Elementary School is located on the Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JB-PHH) near Honolulu International Airport on Oahu. Historic Pearl Harbor is our "back yard". We are part of Hawaii DOE's Central District - Radford Complex.
Our school is uniquely situated within this dynamic and diverse military community, serving a transient yet incredibly resilient and globally aware student body.
Current Enrollment (August 2024): 529 students (Preschool to Grade 6). Please note: Enrollment numbers fluctuate due to military-impacted ongoing rotations.
Our School Colors: Red, White, and Blue are our school colors. The colors used in the American flag symbolize leadership, purity, and valor (courage).
