2 more weeks to go.....

Thank you for talking to your students about the After School app.  We've had numerous calls at the office for more information; am posting another link below to a story that was posted by KHON yesterday.


This is the last week of school for our seniors….. a bittersweet time of stress, tears, and joy.  Please encourage your students to finish strong as we’re still testing and working til the end of the school year!

Graduation begins at 6:30 pm on the front lawn this Friday…. come early if you do not have a reserved ticket.  Our guests that evening will be Board of Education member Maggie Cox, Assistant Superintendent Clyde Sonobe, and UH Hilo Academic Dean, Randy Hirokawa who is a Waimea HS graduate.  We’re asking that the public stay away from the old grandstand area on the baseball field; it’s going to be fenced off as it will either be undergoing extensive renovation or eventually will be demolished.  Either way, it’s an off-limits area for everyone so I’m going to ask that everyone please steer clear from the area.

Have a great week everyone.


Mrs. Anguay  J
