For the past several years, Views From the Edge has been proud to present the graduation ceremonies of Kahuku High School on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii.
This year, because of the coronavirus pandemic and the social distancing mandates that came with it, the usually raucous and choreographed graduation ceremony of the Red Raiders was different -- quieter and more reflective.
Because the students of Kahuku have given us so much joy, most of them Asian American and Pacific Islander, the Class of 2020 shouldn't be forgotten. Here we present their graduation drive through marked by a few speeches by class president and their valedictorian.
Even though Kuhuku's 211 graduating seniors were deprived of their chance in the spotlight, they deserve no less attention and congratulations.
In case you're new to this blog, take a look at last year's graduation ceremony is an example of what each senior class has given back to their community on the less touristy, less glamorous, working class part of Oahu and Views From the Edge keeps returning year after year to enjoy the largely AAPI student body perform.
