On Friday, March 1, 2024, more than 150 students of Hilo High School’s senior class and their advisors participated in a large scale service project meant to service the town of Hilo as our community prepares for the worldwide 61st Annual Merrie Monarch Festival.

They worked closely with Dean Goya of the County of Hawaii and Kawena Kawelu, the grandaughter of Aunty Luana Kawelu, President of the Merrie Monarch Festival. Students also had the opportunity to speak with Aunty Luana Kawelu, as she taught them a little about the history of the Merrie Monarch Festival and showed her appreciation for thier efforts by personally thanking the class.
