The Kaua‘i High School Class of 2023, more than 260 students strong, practice their seating pattern on Friday morning at Vidinha Stadium football field.

A lot of people (there were a ton of stories about the traffic!) were praying for the sun to come out, Friday, so the public high schools graduation ceremonies could take place without the inconvenience of inclement weather …Waimea High School’s Plan B was to move everything into Clem Gomes Gym, and both Kaua‘i and Kapa‘a were planning on issuing umbrellas to their graduates. At any rate, congratulations to all the graduates, and best wishes for a smooth road ahead.
