Aloha mai kākou,
This issue of Echo of Our Song will highlight the numerous achievements of our haumāna and
their kumu. Over the course of the last six months it is evident that across our campus, haumāna
are exemplifying all areas of E Ola! Learner Outcomes both in and out of the classroom. I would
like to take a moment to highlight a few great achievements.
Beginning with our world-class Performing Arts Department. We are filled with anticipation and
excitement for the 100th annual Song Contest. The mele, composed and performed by students,
capture and commemorate kīpuka aloha ‘āina, helping to define who we are for the next 100
years. In preparing for this event, our haumāna and kumu are epitomizing all of E Ola’s
Productive Courses of Action; Academic Competence, Growth Mindset, Self-Efficacy, Problem
Solving, Innovation & Creativity, Collaboration, and Global Competency.
We also celebrate our student athletes and their coaches. Our Athletics Program brought home
four State Championships this season! Hoʻomaikaʻi to the Girlsʻ soccer team, Girlsʻ Paddling team,
and the Boys & Girls Wrestling Teams! They have demonstrated Kūlia , Alakaʻi lawelawe, and
Collaboration making our Kapālama campus proud!
Our academic programs are world-class as well. We celebrate the achievements of our Honors
Science Students and our Visual Arts students who placed 1st, 2nd, and 3rd at their respective
competitions. Their work exemplifies Mālama & Kuleana, Kūlia, Academic Competence, Self-
Efficacy, Problem Solving, Innovation & Creativity.
Ua kau i ka hano hāweo.
Reached the peak of honors.
