HAWAIIAN WORD OF THE DAY - Ho’i hou: Return

 HAWAIIAN PROVERB OF THE DAY - “May yours return to you.”

September 14, 2007 - Old Maui High School holds its 2007 reunion of all surviving attendees to the Hamakuapoko-based school. The campus, which opened its doors in 1913, has the original C.W.Dickey building, which is being renovated by the Friends of Old Maui High School. Though it closed its doors in 1972, the school maintains an influence in today’s Maui, through such leaders as Councilman Mike Molina, who attended the school in the early 1970s.

Old Maui High’s most famous alumna is probably Patsy Mink, who graduated valedictorian in 1944. Born and raised in Paia, as a U.S. Congresswoman she was responsible for Title IX legislation, which revolutionized women’s sports in the U.S. The new Post Office in Paia - 96779 -  was named in her honor, after she died in 2002.
