Linda Lingle and a proclamation from the state House of Representatives. Sen. Les Ihara, D-9th (Kapahulu, Kaimuki, Palolo), gave the school a proclamation from the state Senate.
Former teachers and administrators also attended the Friday event, which featured performances by students and the presentation of the school's royal court.
