    Student body comprised of those residing in Mānoa Valley, Makiki, Makiki Heights, Tantalus,…read morePapakōlea, Kalāwahine, Punchbowl, Pauoa, Pauoa Valley, Pacific Heights, and some from Nuʻuanu Valley too. Many students that lived outside of the district and had a GE were from Kāneohe, Kailua, Waimānalo to Wai'anae. There were also students who attended Iolani, Kamehameha and St. Louis, then transferred to Roosevelt. There are some staff and many students with different last names that are related to each other, have attended and still attend RHS. One day one of my grandma's cousins approached me. I later found out she was a cafeteria monitor during the day and custodian after school. Coming to think of it, I have relatives that graduated in the late 1970's till mid 2000's on my maternal side of the family. During Hawaiian studies class, a substitute teacher asked me, "Where do you live? What's your family name?" I responded. Then she said, "I graduated same year with your relative's name." I was quite surprised. There are currently many entrepreneurs, including those married to entrepreneurs so they help with other aspects of thriving businesses, alumni with successful careers in the public and private sector. Let's not forget about notable celebrities listed in Wikipedia. Hawaiian language classes offered and counted as foreign language credits toward college, along with Mandarin, Japanese, Spanish, and French. I vividly recall signing up first choice: Hawaiian, second choice: Spanish, third choice: Japanese. I remember getting my last choice while my other friends got Hawaiian and Spanish classes. My favorite instructors who definitely made an impact in my life were Mrs. Wells, English teacher who immersed us in reading, writing, grammar, spelling, and working together in class ranging from The Hobbit, Beowulf, Shakespeare, Hamlet, too many to name, and our last individual project and typed essay for the year, Les Miserables. School is known for their language arts. Fine Arts and Cooking teacher, Mrs. Fong. She was the one who encouraged me to consider applying for colleges to arts schools on the mainland. I've also enjoyed learning baked recipes. One of those recipes taught in class was how to make pumpkin pie. We had access to ovens, sinks, and clean counter tops. Fun, practical, and life learning skills. Japanese language sensei, Mrs. Fujinaka for teaching us one of the first things is, "Otearai e itte mo ii desu ka?" Translation in English, "May I please go to the restroom?" Reserved for when really got to go and having a brain fart. Hiragana, katakana, and some of the kanji ingrained in memory. Economics teacher, Mrs. Leung taught us how to write checks which I thought was cool as it applies to signing legal documents till this day. Sports was and still is an integral part of the student body. I remembered running between two to four old football field laps daily after school, where dirt would kick up and if wearing white shoes, would get dirty fast. I vividly recalled running snakes weekly on red and gold bleachers, north, south, east, and west, in no particular order. Legs would get jiggly or charley horse if out of shape. Yet, great cardio, conditioning for the body. Sports practices ended at 6 PM. Games on Saturdays either on or off campus. Loved the swimming pool especially during P.E. Earned school credits while working on a life skill. They're also known for their band. Many clubs offered on campus too. Enjoyed underground cafeteria, choice to eat indoor or outdoors. Cafeteria staff offered a choice of school lunch or chef salad. Limited parking. First come, first get in the morning at 7 AM. Some lessons I don't recall learning and wish instructors taught at that time were study skills, time management, and financial literacy. There were cliques here and there. Now, we're all grown peeps and if we run into each other in public, it's "Hey! How's it going?" followed with a hug and honi on the cheek.

    I'm sure this is a great school, however, there has been a very loud siren or alarm coming from the…read morehigh school a few blocks away from where I live. It starts around 11 PM and continues until about 6 AM, making it difficult to sleep. I live over 30 floors up and can still hear it clearly, so I imagine it's affecting many people in the neighborhood. I'm not sure if others have reported it yet, but I hope this issue can be addressed and fixed soon.

Fast forward to 2022 and after a horrifically long two years for many of us I was so delighted to see through a favorite vendor posting their participation at this craft fair unusually placed in March but luckily had the day off I darted off to Moanalua with anticipation. Yes parking just about impossible we all know that but this is all about the school and to raise funds so when I drove up and saw that it's $5 for parking which goes directly to the school you know I'm all in in fact gave them an additional $5 which the adorable student was puzzled lol. Aside for the obvious parking it's completely free and in comparison to the usual town location with $8 parking and $4+ entry fee this is a bargain that's going to a fantastic place...our local school. With my check in and post I've been asked if it was worth it...with response of not to complete your Christmas shopping as I was talking to some vendors it was their very first event since the closure and some had forgotten their passcodes to sign in to their accounts for credit cards and what not. I'm just so happy to see some newbies and old friends which is a great start to somewhat of a normalcy and got to reconnect with some that don't have Instagram outlet to keep up with. So much shifting going around with shop closure, moving and reopening...let's all support local artist and small business. Thank you!!

    Stevenson Middle It seems that there is a few blocked…read morereviews and some negative comments. I have a wide teaching background. I have visited the school and my initial reaction is -it is a freakin normal middle school, pre-pubescence oozes uncertainty and awkwardness. Elementary schools are so glad to be able to get rid of 7th or 8th graders from primary schools because the whole primary school prospers, not the 7/8th gr. The 'Jerk' factor goes down when the big kids leave a primary school (I'm using jerk but we can be more colorful to discuss what we really mean). Stevenson really is trying. There is huge mandates that they have to juggle, No Child Left Behind, Testing, Race for the Top mandates that are changed at the HI State Leg., New Common Core Curriculum initiatives and all the other stuff that goes on in a middle. Stevenson has a workshop for parents- called changes. It meets 4 times, 1 per month and helps out those parents that don't have an education background. I have a MEd in ESL and SpEd, I would rather try to win tickets to a Yelp event than be upset by some teacher that knows the Keiki personally but does not know educational development as well as I do- Yes, I have an ego and more so I hate hearing bs like 'in 3 years 100% of our keiki will be on grade level'. Really? Is that possible, we had a president of the US that got C's at Yale because his father bought buildings for the school. Give me reality, not bs. What are you as the teacher doing to change the school system because it is not working right now? So- I prefer to let the parents that may be from Micronesia learn something about education in classrooms that have electricity instead of arguing about how special ed. students that are not vocal can possibly pass a standardized test (fyi they can't so when they say 100% of students they are allowed to have 5% of the school student body not take the test- so is it really a true standard? NO!). But they are trying and that is my point- they are reaching out to the parent community to try to help students. On their site, Stevenson has a kidbiz site that helps students use internet and resources online. Stevenson has info on how to complain. This is the first of this kind of out there that I have ever seen. There is info on how to start thinking about going to college for all students. College for Every Student helps keiki start thinking about college, wonderful for those that never have had any relative that have ever gone to college. There is a Stevenson parent teacher association. I don't know too much about it but luckily there are parents that are conduits for the school and trying to get more funding for school activities- I myself believe that this is a disservice because ALL Education K-12 should be fully funded Nationally! PTAs should be for extra curricula like band trips - not actual needed resources for English and Math. I've heard of and met two science teachers from Stevenson that won an award for teaching and the work they are doing in STEM projects. Unfortunately, not ever teacher is a clone of them, so it is hit or miss if your child is able to have the 2 winning STEM teachers or more likely, another teacher doing the best she or he can. It just proves that it really is what the teacher can do for the student and good teaching is good teaching which is good teaching. Again, there are pluses and minuses of any public school. Working towards helping Keiki though should be the focus and hopefully it is. Stevenson do seem to try to care and do the best that they can with the large numbers of students that they have since the students switch classes often. I'm progressive in that I know change is coming- but instead of insulting or nagging I have practical suggestions that could implement change: Allow students 7 to 10 years of ESL support, right now it is limited to up to 3 years. Allow more students to drop out, if they do not want to be in school, allow them to leave, right now they have to be 16 years old before dropping out. Make teachers 12 month employees- right now they are almost full time but on salary, changes to the HI constitution will need to be made to make this possible to increase funding needed in the DOE not for admin but for teachers to reduce class sizes which directly impact test scores positively, and not much else improves test scores btw across the board. I have more but most need funding to change- so basic solution is to fund all k-12 education at the federal level because it is a common right, similar to health care or safety, for an industrialized nation to prosper.

The Principal is an ineffective, inadequate, impotent and incompetent leader. He has zero communication with the teachers and is biased towards those who kiss up to him. He gives all the advanced courses to teachers who he favors instead of to those who teach with quality and care for students. His skill as as a school administrator is flaccid and his inability to lead and to guide with objectivity is worsening every quarter. He should not be the Principal. He should retire. His lack of leadership is detrimental to the students at this high school. The students who need the most help are being overlooked due to the principal's discrimination against the teachers who are ready and willing to help them. The current Principal at Kalani High is a coward and will not stand up to protect anyone except himself. By his idiotic standards, he should just hire YouTube videos with outdated curriculum because those are the type of "teachers" he favors.

In the years since I was competing, they renovated the office/viewing area to include an upper deck. There are 6 courts with lights on the lower side and up a steep road there are 3 more courts. There is also a bleacher area to watch some of the matches from. Parking can be tricky and the one-way setup of the lot is difficult. If you pass an area, you have to go all the way out of the campus and back around the hill to get back on property. If you see a spot, even if it's not that close, take it! Weather is also an issue since it's in Manoa so we sometimes have rain delays/cancelled matches. Yesterday we almost had to postpone but luckily the weather held up enough to finish the match!
