IPA Alma Mater
The creation of the school Alma Mater was a collaboration by two faculty members, Cami Nihipali and “Doc” Wilson. Independently, they had each started their own versions of a possible tune and lyrics to serve this purpose, and then worked together to produce the version that has been adopted by the school. It was introduced by the Class of 2011 at their graduation ceremony.

Lyrics by “Doc” Wilson and Cami Nihipali
Hail Navigators! Oh, we sing to silver, blue, and gold.
Na ho`okele going forth to the future, prepared and bold.
I mua me ka ha’aheo for our Hawai`i nei.
With excellence in all we do. We are IPA.
Hail Navigators! Journey on and feel the humble pride,
Open hearts and open minds that help us grow inside.
The sea may rise and waves may roll and some have lost their way.
Helping others helps us lead, yes, we are IPA.
