The Pearl City High School Class of 2015 went out in style on Saturday, as over 400 seniors were welcomed into the PCHS alumni ohana after receiving their high school diplomas during commencement ceremonies held at Aloha Stadium in Halawa.
On hand to celebrate with the graduating class was Governor David Ige, proud PCHS alumnus from the class of 1975, as well Congressman Mark Takai, PCHS class of 1985.
Pearl City/Waipahu Complex Superintendent, Mr. Rodney Luke, and our Pearl City District Complex Principals also participated in the celebration.
This is a very special group of PCHS graduates that I will truly miss. I've watched them grow from their freshmen year to today. They have excelled in the classroom, academic competition in Hawaii and nationally, as well in sports, and as volunteers in our community. Some have been challenged to overcome adversity to reach their goals upon graduation and make their dreams come true. They made it, and stand before us today, as proud PCHS graduates!
I would like to wish them all the best as they make their way into the future!
GO CHARGERS!
