WALKOUT AT WHITNEY

About 2/3 of our entire student body choose to walk out yesterday
in memory of the students and staff killed at Parkland High School in Florida.
They calmly gathered around the American flag in the front of the school, 
and for exactly 17 minutes these children bowed their heads and were completely silent.
It was a sight to see and extremely powerful.
Standing with them was an Almni from 1982,
Hope Yoneshige. 
So very proud of our students for the respect they showed.

  2. It is so refreshing to see the effect these young people are having, to know that they are seizing the opportunity to stand up and be counted on such an important issue. It gives me hope in a world that has lately made me despair over so many issues. It is also interesting to see that, across the country, so many young people have shown more respect and dignity than those who are supposed to be leading our country.
