Getting high school students to do anything is a major challenge so its a wonder that Kahuku High School continues to put out out-of-this-world graduation ceremonies involving the entire class singing and choreography.
We've featured this high school before where 60% of the student body is Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander. Asians make up only 9%. White students are in the minority with only 18% of the student body.
The pride in being one of these ethnic groups is self-evident in the video. I wish I had gone to this high school. It would have done wonders for my self-esteem during that vulnerable time of my identity-seeking years.
The Senior Medley has become a tradition at Kahuku H.S. and emulated by other Hawaiian high schools. This year's graduation ceremony took place May 23 at their school, located on the non-touristy Northshore of Oahu.
Watch all the way until until the end when the entire graduating class does a haka.
Congratulations Kahuku graduates!
