Honokaa is chaotic. There are some times when nothing happens and other times when big things happen. Just recently an incident occured which cause our drama club kids to be scared to hold another haunted house.

I had moved here in the middle of my sophomore year from a relatively bad school, and coming here was a breath of fresh air and I really felt like I was actually getting something out of my education at this school. It opened a lot of new opportunities for me and I am very glad I am at this school now.
