My overall experience with Kahuku High School has been one filled with memories, great experiences, and lots of growth. Pride is one of the biggest factors that sets it apart from a lot of other high schools in Hawaii and in the nation. Our pride for our sports and our people is like no other. When going to a football game or competing in my own game of waterpolo, you can feel the energy and spirit from families and students that motivates you to do the best you can. I have had my ups and downs during my time at Kahuku, but overall it has proven to be a great school with good people and great pride.
