Talent Show 2024

We decided to go out for Spring Break with a BANGWe hope you enjoyed Highlands Intermediate’s 2024 Talent Show!  Acts ranged from dancing, singing, and a mix of both ;)  Our contestants put on their best show and the fans came out and showed some spirit by cheering and screaming their butts off!! Participants practiced and worked their hardest to  put on a fantastic show and that's what they displayed. We had judges coming from Palisades Elementary (Principal Tsue), the President of the Pearlridge Rotary Club (Mr. Mosko), and our very own principal (Principal Tanouye), but I bet choosing our winners was a struggle... Nonetheless, we really ought to thank very own our Assembly Committee for hosting and running this event with the help of Highlands Student Council. Finally, our top 3 winners for HIS Talent Show are none other than:

1st Place - Zyann 

2nd Place - Mahina, Kansas, Chloe, Nicole Ryden

3rd Place - Garyann, Keviann, Kiumalyn

Overall we’d like to thank all our contestants for coming out and showcasing their talents. Mahalo nui,  Colts!!   Kaylani Gordon, 8th Grade Vice-President
