The Kaua‘i High School Class of 1974 celebrated its 50th renunion, or Golden Anniversary, on Saturday, Feb. 24, 2024, at the Lihu‘e Hongwanji Mission social hall with a paniolo-themed gathering. According to former Boy Scout Troop 83 Scoutmaster Gilbert Cabot, “The reunion had tremendous attendance with many classmates coming in from the mainland and off-island for great reconnections and memories of high school days.”
