Highlands Ho'olaule'a 2019

Highlands Ho'olaule'a 2017 "We Know The Way!"

With Tafiti towering over us one side and Uku and Lele on the other -- the Pearl City District Park gym was the perfect setting for our last day of school! The Highland’s Ho’olaule’a was the last assembly of the year and a truly amazing way to end the 2016-17 school year! All students gathered in the gym, seated by teams, then were amazed by some truly astounding performances by our very own Highlands students and the Pearl City High School Polynesian Club! It was filled with Hawaiian Hulas, Tahitian, Micronesian and Samoan dances. There were also several singing and an ukulele performances as well to round it out. To conclude our annual event, a heart-warming Farewell video was displayed. It brought back so many memories for students and teachers alike, showing all of the things we've done the past year and hopes for the future. Highlands Ho’olaule’a has truly been a wonderful way to say farewell and these memories will never be forgotten... Jaylyn, Dance Committee

Highlands Ho'olaule'a 2016 "I Lav-a You!"

ITS FINALLY THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL AND EVERYONE HAS BEEN ANXIOUSLY WAITING FOR THIS DAY TO COME!  According to Highlands tradition, we hold a Ho’olaule’a -- a special gathering of Polynesian music, dancing, and singning -- on the last day of school to help us celebrate and remind us all of just how good we had it this year.  The gym was packed with fun and exciting entertainment from Highlands and Pearl City High School students. We had Hawaiian, Samoan, and  Tahitian dancers along with select ukulele combos from Mr. Takemura’s Ukulele classes.  To close it out we played the Farewell Video showcasing students and a teachers from each team reminiscing on the past year.  We couldn’t think of a better way to say goodbye to an amazing school year than our Highlands Ho’olaule’a!
