This year, the Halloween Art Contest at Highlands Intermediate was nothing short of epic. Our students went all-in, creating mind-blowing, spooky masterpieces of ghosts, witches, and haunted houses that perfectly captured the holiday hype. The submitted entries created a gallery bursting with color, detail, and creativity—it was like walking through a Halloween dream! A huge shoutout to our talented winners:
1st Place: Mikayla Simpliciano (Team 2 Hui ha’ahea - Shrek), whose incredible drawing earned the top spot and a $50 Hot Topic gift card!
2nd Place: Danikah Rabaino (Team 4 Alakai - Panda), who brought her A-game to snag second place and 150 Student Points.
3rd Place: Aura Arios (Team C Koa Kau Lio - Turbo), who wowed the judges with her spooky third-place masterpiece.
Mr. White and the student body took time to admire each entry, giving major props to everyone’s talent and effort. This contest wasn’t just about winning; it was about showcasing our incredible school spirit and artistic skills. It’s events like this that make Highlands unforgettable—we can’t wait to see what you create next year! Ciana Philips, Dance Committee
