Pearl City High School students from the following class councils 2018, 2019, 2020, Leo Club, Tennis Team and AVID, volunteered their time to clean-up the sidewalk and paint a 500 ft. wall on Ho'okiekie Street fronting the PCHS campus.

Shelden Saiki, ECOS President

"On Tuesday April 25th, a group of nearly 60 students gathered at the perimeter of Pearl City High School’s campus to complete a service project that truly benefited their community.  These students, many of them freshman and sophomores, came out eager to make a difference by cleaning up and beautifying Ho’okiekie Street, the road that fronts their campus.  This project, organized by ECOS (a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization) and supported by the school, enabled these civic minded students to repaint a 500ft wall, pick up litter, and clear the side walk from plant over-growth due to years of neglect.  Due to the tremendous manpower and work ethic, they were able to complete the work in less than an hour and a half."

Kyle Miyashiro, PCHS Student Services Coordinator
