Congratulations to the Boys Basketball team for an outstanding season and solid play at this past weekend's State Finals. This group of young men continued to improve over the course of the season and very evident that they had developed to another level as it showed in the second half of the season.

Parent conferences updates: Meetings with parents of targeted struggling students continue and certainly fulfilling to have parents, students, and school personnel in the same room having focused dialogue. While we may not see immediate positive changes for all of the students, believe that we are seeing progress for a good number of students. We will stay the course for the rest of the year as it will help address issues related to attendance, tardiness, disruption, and academics. It also serves as our documented interventions. Building Hawaii’s future for college, career, and citizenship in the global society of the 21st century is challenging and hard work.....like that final art work, every student takes hours of hard work to mold, to shape, with tears, frustration and joy in ultimately creating that final sculpture that we call Kapaa High graduate!
