Student-requested projects seeking support
Students attended a recent board meeting, and gave us an insight into how the PCHSAA could help the school. A number of wonderful suggestions came up including:
-- Building a dedicated walkway from the football stadium toward the school.
-- Building a courtyard to replace a bare (red!) dirt (or mud) along with a couple of benches.
-- Adding more benches for seating areas around the campus. Many of the benches have been vandalized or destroyed.
There were other suggestions, but these really stood out! Unfortunately, it takes quite a lot of money to do most of these projects, so we're asking anyone out there to join us in a donation of time (design/architectural), money (we can always use financial help!), or labor (construction). Let us know how you would like to help!
Halftime Spectacular!
The Pearl City High School Band put on, what many have said, was the best halftime show ever at Aloha Stadium. The extravagant show on Veteran's Day involved about a thousand band members, dancers and volunteers.
