A group of Pearl City High School students are competing in the National Hurley Competition called WALK THE WALK sponsored by Hurley. The PCHS students were tasked to create videos in three different "Challenges". PCHS currently sits in first place after winning Challenge #1 and Challenge #2. The PCHS team is competing in the Nothwest, Canada and Hawaii bracket.
In Challenge #1, Show Your DNA, the students were asked to create a video that incorporated the following: *What are you into? *What makes your school unique? *Why do you deserve to Walk the Walk?
In Challenge #2, Phantom & Lowrider Competition, the students were once again challenged to incorporate the following elements in a video: *Chance to be a Hurley creative director * Sell the key products, Phantom and Lowrider.

The PCHS WALK THE WALK TEAM needs your support to win Challenge #3, Retail Presentation. The students have worked hard throughout the competition and the pride that they take in their work shines. "We just want to show that we love Pearl City," said Walk the Walk teammate, Danielle Barnett.
"We're one of two teams representing Hawaii. Since we're currently on the top of our bracket, if we win our bracket we go to Nationals to represent Hawaii," said Matt Taira.
If Pearl City High School wins Challenge #3, they will move on to the Nationals at Huntington Beach, California in July, 2010.

Written by PCHS WALK THE WALK teammate, Matt Taira;
In 2007, we participated in the catwalk event and won with our unique style that captured the eyes of the judges. Because we had done so well back then, PCHS wanted to do it again this year. The change is that there are 3 video challenges. PCHS is one of two schools representing Hawaii (Mililani is the other). PCHS has won the past 2 video challenges and wants to win this last video challenge and at this very moment PCHS is still the highest point holder in the Nation and in Canada. We know that in this last challenge all the schools will pick their pace up and get lots of people and we would like to do the same.
