Meet our counselor!

Aloha Pukalani Stallions! My name is Ms. Souza and I am another counselor here at Pukalani Elementary School. I was born and raised here on Maui and went to Oahu for my schooling, and now I am finally back home. After working in the DOE for about 10 years, I am so excited to be a part of an awesome school community and I can't wait for us to be able to see each other back on campus when it is safer!

Hi there! My name is Jenna Calasa, I am so happy to be your School Counselor at Pukalani Elementary.  I have a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Early Childhood Education and a Masters of Education Degree in School Counseling. I have been working with the Hawaii Department of Education since 2014. As a School Counselor, I work to promote support based on the whole child approach, which ensures that each student is healthy, safe, and supported- emotionally, socially, and educationally. I look forward to being a support for all students and families at Pukalani Elementary School!
