Principal's Message by Alex Ramsvig, HS Principal May 27, 2021 Aloha All,
What an amazing final week of school! Our I-Term experiences have been going so well and I would like to thank all of our teachers and community members who are acting as instructors this week. From camping, hiking, big wave surfing and safety, building a tiny house, living off the land, game theory, and beauty school, our students have been having a wonderful and impactful time. A special thank you to Christina Hoe for all her efforts in coordinating this amazing week.
HS Graduation is on May 29th, and for our non-seniors, you can watch the live stream on youtube here.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Alex Ramsvig HS Principal
Students are spread out around the island for I-term this week- farming, building, hunting, diving, crafting, cosmetology school and more.
