Farewell Assembly 2023

To say goodbye to the 2022-2023 school year, we celebrated with the entire Highlands ‘ohana at our annual Farewell Assembly on Friday, May 26 at the Pearl City District Park Gym. This special event kicked off with the staff & teachers dancing and performing as NSYNC saying their final “Bye, Bye, Byes!” to the 8th Graders (the Class of 2027) who will be missed, leaving us and moving on to high school. Next was the Highlands Hip Hop Club and the annual Farewell Video 2023 where admin, teachers, staff and students are featured in a video giving advice, insight and their favorite memories of the past school year. The highlight of the assembly was when students gave leis and their aloha to the teachers that were leaving Highlands, thanking them for their hard work and sacrifice. This brought tremendous joy, comfort, with a hint of sadness… it really was a bittersweet. No matter what, all you 8th Graders need to remember “Once a Colt, Always a Colt!” Best of luck to the incoming “Sevies” who will be the new 8th Graders. Most of all good luck in high school 8th Graders (Class of 2027)! And one last time before we head out on Summer Break…. Let’s remember our school motto: “We are Colts! CREATIVE, OPTIMISTIC, LOYAL, TENACIOUS, STUDENTS!” Au Revior, Farewell, Adios, A Hui Hou! Cailin. 7th Grade Council
