Gung Hee Fat Choy, Highlands!

“Gung Hee Fat Choy!” Happy Chinese New Year everyone! This year’s celebration was a sweet surprise to everyone, event to Mr. White lol ;)  When the Hawai’i Lion Dance Association showed up no one was ready for what was to come. But, both students and teachers quickly gathered around to get up close and personal with the amazing show that they put on! Amazing footwork and rhythmic drums made for such an awesome show! Students that need that extra bit of luck made sure to feed the dragon money as is Chinese tradition.  We were so pumped up after this Lion Dance performance we simply can’t wait for next year ;) Jasmine, Spirit Committee

Farewell Assembly 2016 "I Lava-A You!"

To kick off the last day of such an amazing year, we wanted to celebrate through this year's Farewell Assembly.  This year's theme was "I Lava-a You!", a Pixar short that helped to display the meaning of today's events.  Throughout the event, we recognized all of the awesome clubs and individuals that won BIG and made us extremely proud :)  Along with that, we had a few amazing performances by the Highlands Cheer Squad, the awesome duet of Landon and Iris, and the winner of this year's Highlands Got Talent, Hyper 808!!!  We also awarded the Highlands Spirit Cup to team Fantastic Four for the sixth straight year in a row.  But with all of the fun and joy that this day brought, we also had to say aloha to seven teachers that will not be returning next year.  We would like to wish them luck in their future endeavors and say mahalo for their service to our amazing school.  Cade, SG President

Student Activities Fair 2015

Highlands Intermediate's annual Student Activities Fair was held on Thursday, August 20, 2015, and it was a huge success! It was packed with hundreds of excited students eager to sign up for all of the great clubs, sports, and committees Highlands has to offer.  Even if you didn't attend this year's SAF 2015, you still have time to sign-up, so don't fret!  The energy was high, and the amount of students who participated was even higher. The SAF '15 was a huge turn out which means we should expect this school year to be filled with fun and activities!  All we can say is, "may the Force be with us..."   Kaitlynn, SG Vice-President  

 

Farewell Assembly 2015 "The Highlands Hunger Games Grand Finale!"

To conclude the 2014-2015 school year we recognized all of our school's successes at the Farewell Assembly. At the beginning of the assembly, Undefinded, from Highlands Talent Show, hyped up the crowd with a phenomenal performance. We even had an exhilarating Lion Dance performance from Mr. Fong's Lion Dance Club! Additionally, we humbly recognized our Robotics Team run by Mrs. Okai for doing an outstanding job this whole year.  Not only that, but we also called up our Science Team overseen by Mrs. Lin for all of their hard work and dedication. After one final "Hunger Game", Fantastic 4 reclaimed the possession of the coveted Sprit Cup... again. Sadly, all good things must come to an end and we had to say aloha and farewell to Mr. Miho (team Ho'ok'o), Mrs. Rosera (team Na Koa), Mr. Mathakul (team Laule'a) and Mr. Batad (7th grade VP), whom will not be returning to HIS next school year:(. We want to wish them good luck and safe travels for wherever their paths may take them. They definitely will be missed next year.  Peyten, Student Government Treasurer
