Q3 Intramural: Soccer

Have you ever played soccer?  Of course you have...  Hold on -- have you ever played Highlands version of soccer?  Our version is based of official Futsol Soccer rules and it’s super-fast game on a very small field.  Another big difference here is there are only 4 players on each side with no goalie.  Yeah, different!  This year's Q3 Soccer intramural started right after the Valentine’s Day Dance and all 8 teams put up an awesome fight to become grade level champions, and eventually school champion!  Here's a big shout-out to 7th Grade Champs (Hui Ha’aheo) and 8th Grade Champs (Hui Mana’o).  The championship game was hard-fought and the title of school soccer champions eventually went to Team Hui Ha’aheo!!!

Valentine's Day Dance 2016 "High School Musical"

Are you ready for the most romantic holiday of the year? Well, we certainly were and our whole school came out in force with red, pink and white! The entire Highlands campus was filled with hearts and love, Cupids and fluffy clouds, roses and all things sweet! That’s right, it’s time for the Valentine’s Day Dance “High School Musical!” where everyone -- teachers, staff and students -- could enjoy the “holiday of love” in a super fun fashion. This event took place on Thursday 2/11/16 at Lunch in the P.E courtyard. There were tons of Valentine’s/HSM themed activites: HSM Polaroid Booth, Teachers Dunk Booth, Balloon Productions, Basketball for Teddy Bears, Cupid’s Arrow game, and lastly the Voting Booth for the Valentine’s Kings and Queens.  All the events surrounded the main Valentine’s Dance Canopy student DJ’d by our very own, DJ Lumpia! She played all the best jams until the final song…  But, it was all over we made the announcement that everyone was waiting for — who would be this year’s Valentine’s Kings & Queens, nominated in Homeroom and voted on at the Valentine’s Day Dance.  Congratulations to this year’s Valentine’s Day Kings & Queens (7th — Sachi and Aiden | 8th — Allyson and Reily | Teachers — Mr. and Mrs. Karwiel). We couldn’t think of a better way to get ready for the upcoming Valentine’s Weekend that than this! Laura, Dance Committee Chair
