The Academy’s Soroptimist Club, also known as the ‘S’ Club, is the student chapter of the Soroptimist International of Waikiki and is open to students in grades nine to 12. The club primarily focuses on serving the school and community and fostering a civic-minded attitude in its members, but also prepares students to assume leadership positions in the professional world, while helping forge relationships amongst the student peers.

The club’s service activities run the gamut from repainting bus shelters in the school’s neighborhood to helping families construct gingerbread houses during the Easter Seal’s Gingerbread Festival to manning stations at the Honolulu Advertiser’s Jingle Bell Run.

In addition, each month, the club hosts prominent female professionals who share their insights and inspirations from working in their chosen career field. Past speakers have included Judge Sandra Sims and Fay Chiogioji of Hawaiian Electric. To gain insight into the working world, club members also take learning excursions to some of Honolulu’s most successful businesses, such as KHNL-TV, First Hawaiian Bank and Kuakini Medical Center.
