PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Aloha Maryknoll Community, The start of the school year is an exciting time for schools. It's a special time for us at Maryknoll as we close the chapter of our 95th Anniversary and write the next chapter, our 96th year with our sights set on our Centennial in 2027. We value your partnership and look forward to continuing this journey together!

Your belief in our mission has made a meaningful difference in our school community and we celebrate the spiritual, emotional, physical, and academic growth of our students this past year. Highlights of the 2022-2023 school year include success in arts, athletics, robotics, speech, and the vast opportunities Maryknoll provides for our students. The Pac-5 girls' soccer team placed first in the state. Maryknoll’s LifeSmarts Team won the National Championship, a first for a team from Hawaii. Maryknoll’s class of 2023 joins the ranks of Maryknoll Alumni and enters the world prepared and confident as they continue their educational journey with 100% of the class going on to college.

Maryknoll’s Alumni Week festivities included class reunions, the annual Jared Kaufman '58 Bowl-A-Rama, and our Alumni Luau with 300+ alumni and friends gathered in our gym celebrating the spirit of Maryknoll with cherished memories and friendships to last a lifetime. We congratulate all classes celebrating milestones, especially our Jubilarian class of 1973.

Proud of our legacy and the mission of our founders, the Maryknoll Sisters, as a school community our faculty and staff spent the summer reading Hearts on Fire, the story of the Maryknoll Sisters. The book inspires us all to continue the work set forth by the Sisters to live out our core values of Noblesse Oblige, Christian Spirit, and being student-focused. In the same spirit of the Sisters before us, Maryknoll exists to foster the “aha” moments through a child’s eyes.

The expression of joy and enthusiasm on a student’s face when they experience newfound knowledge is a magical moment.

Renovations of Bachelot Hall have us beaming with excitement to revive and refresh this important gathering place that will house the Mi and Dr. Thomas Kosasa Performing Arts Center. Their generosity inspires us to strive for even greater heights, ensuring that our students receive the best education possible. We look forward to Bachelot Hall’s Grand Opening in 2024.

Thank you for being a valuable part of continuing the legacy of Maryknoll School, giving students a place where they are known, supported, and where we have a plan for their Maryknoll journey and beyond.

With love and prayers,

SHANA TONG ’83 President, Maryknoll School

A Remarkable Journey FROM KINDERGARTEN TO COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY WRITTEN BY LARRY KEK AULIKE

My initial encounter with Jasmine Rocha '23 took place during her sophomore year, a time marked by her eagerness to seek guidance on matters related to college. She frequented my office, armed with questions meticulously prepared in advance.

From the outset, it was evident that Jasmine possessed a remarkable combination of readiness, confidence, and a captivating presence. Her inquiries flowed seamlessly, a testament to her preparation and engagement.

Rarely have I encountered a student as genuinely curious and committed to personal growth as Jasmine. Her journey continued into her senior year, where her classmates celebrated her for academic excellence and a character that radiated positivity.

Throughout her 13 years at Maryknoll, Jasmine consistently stood out as a shining example of academic prowess. A proud member of "Maryknoll’s Maroon and Gold Society," she embraced her studies with a rare dedication, often venturing As she transitioned into her into the realm of the most challenging junior year, Jasmine's commitment courses.

Jasmine's impact extended beyond the walls of the classroom. Teachers attested to her contributions and motivation, prompting two of them to approach me with intentions to write letters of recommendation. Their enthusiasm reflected the inspiration Jasmine ignited, a reflection of her unwavering commitment and excellence.

In contemplating Jasmine's attributes, qualities like loyalty, determination, and analytical thinking come to mind. Her presence resonated with her peers, drawing them to her magnetic spirit.

She possessed the remarkable ability to uplift and empower those

around her, fostering an atmosphere of encouragement and positivity.

A tapestry of accomplishments and leadership roles defined Jasmine's journey at Maryknoll. Among her many achievements, one shines particularly bright: the 2022 Noblesse Oblige Scholarship, bestowed upon the most deserving senior class member. This prestigious accolade stood as a testament to her impact and influence within the Maryknoll community.

As Jasmine embarks on her next chapter at Columbia University in New York City, anticipation brims for the experiences that lie ahead. Her sights are set on fields with profound societal impact – Civil Rights Law and Forensic Psychology. Jasmine's legacy is one of a well-rounded, high-achieving, and deeply respected leader. Throughout my thirty-year career working with high school students, she stands as a paragon of excellence, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts and minds she encountered.

In the grand tapestry of educational journeys, Jasmine's story shines as a beacon of inspiration, reminding us all of the transformative power of dedication, leadership, and an unyielding commitment to making a difference.

The Vocation of a Catholic Educator A PERSONAL REFLECTION

While this quote from the motion picture Pay it Forward may summarize how some students feel about middle school, here at Maryknoll we aim to journey with the children through this awkward stage in life. We embrace a holistic approach with the knowledge that the human person is created in God's image and exists on a tripod, made up of a body, mind, and soul.

We engage each child as a child of God who possess a dignity, found nowhere else in all of creation. We make every attempt to minimize, if not alleviate the feelings expressed in the previously stated quote.

As a 17-year educator here at Maryknoll School, I have been blessed and humbled to have ministered alongside the highly talented and 20

professional people who make up the faculty of the Maryknoll Ohana.

Their dedication and devotion to the teaching ministry and the children entrusted to our care by God and parents is without a doubt exceptional.

The faculty here at Maryknoll fully understands the teaching ministry of the Church and the call by God to serve Him in this capacity. Every call from God is a call to holiness. This call is known as a vocation.

Vocation (n) Latin vocationem (nominative vocatio), literally "a calling, a being called".

Here in the middle school, teachers are at work every day living out our call by God. Putting the children

before ourselves and making the many sacrifices required to not only educate them but to love them as our own.

An article could never contain the many things we do for our children and quite honestly, wouldn't do our teachers any justice. What I can share and with utmost humility, is a personal philosophy I strive to live by, daily. Three things I do to respond to my vocation as a Catholic Educator: I am not their teacher; I am better than that. I am a companion on their middle school journey who also happens to be a teacher.

I believe that it is important for the children not to see me only as an authoritative figure but rather as someone committed to their success;

“Middle School, that hellish, shaky bridge you all must cross before you become members of that undyingly, enviable high school elite. Now some of you might think you can't get across this bridge fast enough, that you would rather hold your breath, close your eyes, and not think about anything until it's all over..."

PAY IT FORWARD (MOTION PICTURE)

someone who is genuinely concerned about their welfare and wellbeing. I need to allow the children to get to know the "human" me through the life stories I share with them.

In doing so, I become a companion on their journey. A companion they can trust and depend on. A companion they know and respect.

and Pharisees. Mary and Joseph were on the road back to Nazareth when they discovered Jesus was missing. Returning to Jerusalem, Jesus' parents found Him in the temple. After this account, Jesus once again disappears from the narrative until He is thirty years old and at the start of His “earthly mission”.

I never talk to the children; I always talk with them.

So, we don't know what Jesus experienced as a child, Scripture reveals nothing about it, but we do know one thing, Jesus is fully human and fully divine all the time Hypostatic Union. This means that Jesus, while God, was also a typical human child. Jesus was the complete teenager package loaded with mood swings, puberty, frustrations, and the list goes on.

Jesus was once a middle schooler.

It is my policy never to talk down to the children. When discipline is required, I do so with compassion, fairness, and a sense of justice. I do my best to get to the core of a child making a poor decision and try to help them with it. Guiding them back on the right path and celebrating their victory is the goal. God is merciful and so should we be.

I see in each student the child Jesus.

We don't know much about the child Jesus. In Sacred Scripture, we hear of the infancy of Christ and then Jesus disappears from the narrative until He is twelve years old.

At age twelve, Scripture tells us of the time when Jesus was in the temple in Jerusalem preaching to the Scribes

It is through the innocence and struggles of my students that I see the “God-Child”. I love all students as though they are the Child Jesus. Favoritism toward none; but an abundance of love for all. Some children need lots of love and compassion while others may not, but each child, to me, is the Christ Child. Making God’s love visible through my love for them is the goal. I consider this a grace, a gift from God.

“Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people, but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” And he laid his hands on them and went away.”

M A T T H E W 19 :13 -15

God's call to holiness, to be one with Him, through our vocation should be taken seriously. There is no doubt that middle school teachers at Maryknoll know of God's call and respond to His invitation using the graces (gifts) He provides. There is no mistake as to why the faculty of Maryknoll is here. We have all heard God's call to the teaching ministry of the Church and have responded with a resounding, "YES"!

Hearing God's call and responding to His invitation requires discernment. In middle school, we begin to plant seeds for the future of our children. In doing so, the seeds of discernment to the type of life

Look for the face of Christ to show us who we really are. We must first look for Him in whose image we are created.

Listen to the voice of Christ. Even amidst our crowded and noisy lives, God can be heard through others, scripture, prayer and the events in our lives.

Learn your purpose. Learning is important, especially about the important things that get us to our

final destination after our sojourn here on earth, heaven.

Live our purpose to the max!

Love like God. This one is important. If we aim to know our vocation, we need to practice loving like the one who calls us, God. In our efforts to facilitate the beginning stages of discernment in middle school, we were so pleased to bring back our Day of Vocation last school year. COVID hit us all very hard and as a result, we needed to shelf this activity until it was safe again to do so. Our activity was a day of sharing by individuals who heard God’s call to a special kind of vocation; one

that not many are called to. It was our pleasure to welcome these individuals who are called to the religious or priestly vocation.

During the month of April of last school year, we were privileged to welcome on campus Maryknoll’s very own Sr. Aurora de la Cruz, MM, and Sr. Yoo Soo Kim, MM, Marist Brother Bro. Dennis Smith, SM, Sacred Hearts Sisters Sr. Ivy Yim, SSCC, and Sr. Jane Leandro, SSCC, and newly ordained Sacred Heart Father Fr. Michael Kamauoha, SSCC. Our panel of religious spent the afternoon sharing about their vocation to the religious way of life, their personal stories of discernment, and the various ways they each responded to God's invitation over the years. It was a day of sharing and enlightenment. A day to marvel at God’s works and success through these people whose response to God is a YES in action!

We are a faculty, nurturing and loving our students. We are a people of God, responding to God and loving our God. We are a community making God’s love visible.

"... to this end also we pray for you always, that our God will count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire for goodness and the work of faith with power..."

Exploring Hiroshima AN UNFORGE5ABLE CULTURAL EXCHANGE AND JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY W RIT TEN BY K RISTIE NOURRIE '91

In June 2023, a group of six intrepid students embarked on a truly remarkable adventure to Hiroshima, Japan. The journey was more than a mere trip; it was an immersive experience of learning, exploration, and savoring the delights of a foreign land. As the academic year transitioned into summer, Briana Lynn Sarae ‘24, Korie Wong ‘24, Aiden Rogers ’24, Cameron Kubo ’24, Alyssa Young ’24, and Hayley Quan ’24 set foot on a JAL Airlines flight bound

26

FALL 2023

for Hiroshima, carrying with them not only their luggage but also the excitement of exchanging cultural experiences between Japan and Hawaii.

Anticipation hung in the air as the students prepared for their journey, fueled by a mixture of nervousness and excitement. Each had their heart set on a sensational experience, and indeed, they were not disappointed—save for perhaps the daily presentations they undertook,

which became a unique and rewarding challenge. Unfazed by the prospect of speaking before crowds of strangers, they displayed unwavering resilience, their voices resonating with pride as they represented Hawaii and shared insights into their culture with Aki Fuchu High School and neighboring educational institutions.

This journey wasn't merely about traversing borders; it was about becoming cultural ambassadors, fostering connections, and embracing

unfamiliar customs. The students ventured into three middle schools and two elementary schools, their presentations captivating both young learners and adults alike. The performances were a testament to their dedication and preparation, a source of fascination for the audience.

The warmth of the host families' hospitality played a significant role in making the trip truly unforgettable.

The students found themselves welcomed with open arms, embraced by a generosity that made them feel cherished and special. Amid the whirlwind of activities, Alyssa Young ’24 expressed the sentiment that resonated with the group, "Good! (with a smile) I’m having fun and everything tastes so good! I don’t want to go home!" The camaraderie and shared laughter with their Japanese counterparts fostered a sense of belonging that transcended geographical boundaries.

Language barriers? No match for these determined students. As they dived into conversations with their host families, they found themselves naturally slipping into Japanese, a testament to their adaptability and the bonds forged during their stay.

Yet, amid the laughter and learning, a poignant moment came as they visited the Peace Memorial site in Hiroshima.

Witnessing the haunting remnants of the atomic bomb's impact, their reactions were captured by news reporters.

The students' response—imbued with empathy and unity— left an indelible impression. As Hayley Quan ‘24 shared, "What I saw in the Peace Memorial Park was very emotional and heavy. We can learn from history and become one ohana

(family) as my friend Cameron said earlier." Their sentiments echoed far beyond Hiroshima, reaching the hearts of those who witnessed their encounter with history.

The journey unfolded beyond the cityscape, revealing the scenic beauty of Hiroshima's countryside. Historical castles and legendary samurai swords provided a window into Japan's rich heritage. The students absorbed these stories with awe, as the people's pride in their history became evident. The culinary delights were not left unexplored, as they indulged in sushi, yakitori, ramen, sashimi, tempura, oysters, and omichi manju—each dish a portal to the authentic flavors of Japan.

In the wake of this journey, these students now carry with them more than memories; they hold a deep appreciation for Japanese culture and a profound connection to the people they encountered. This transformative experience was made possible by the guidance and encouragement of Sensei Rie Mizumura, whose vision illuminated the path of exploration.

As they bid farewell to Hiroshima, a promise lingers in the air—sayonara for now, but not forever. The Class of 2023 departs enriched by their journey, forever bound by the threads of cultural exchange, appreciation, and the shared spirit of ohana.

Until they return to Japan's embrace once again, their hearts remain intertwined with the land that has leg an indelible mark.

The idea of such fellowship is to remind our students that we are a faith-based educational institution as it is obviously indicated by our very name, Maryknoll, indeed, we are a Catholic school.

Then we continued on to a Praise and Worship to welcome everybody into this faith-based community.

We raise our hearts, our minds, and our spirits as we lift our hands and voices in thanksgiving and praise to God.Through the years we have developed a great music ministry that leads us in our communal liturgy and para-liturgy.

These activities are simply a prelude to a whole year of striving to live a Christ-centered community life, guided by the Catholic Church.

The intentional purpose is to cultivate a lifestyle of desiring growth in our spirituality, a mindful and committed choice to serve others, and an attitude of gratitude for all that we have received from God through the kindness and generosity of all the people who are supporting us in our pursuit of Catholic education.

The overarching program overseeing the spiritual life and formation of the school community is called Campus Ministry. It facilitates activities that allows students, faculty, and staff to actively participate in the eucharistic celebrations, retreats, devotional activities, prayer services,

and faith sharing in small christian communities. In addition to the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, Campus Ministry also offers the Sacrament of Reconciliation during the Advent Season and Lenten Season. It coordinates with the parish of Sacred Heart Church in offering the Sacraments of Initiation such as Baptism, First Communion, and Confirmation.

As far as service to others is concerned, Campus Ministry, in coordination with the Religion Department, supports the students in their completion of Community Service requirements. Most of our divisional or grade level retreats are facilitated by our students. We have a large number of students volunteering in many of our liturgical ministries

“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.”

M A T T H E W 5 :14 such as altar serving, music ministry, arts ministry, hula ministry, and the LIFE Team that has taken leadership in liturgical preparations. They act as hospitality ministers whenever we host parents and guests at our school events.

The LIFE team also repreaction! Vocation is alive, blessed, and well at Maryknoll School.

During summer, a select number of students go on a mission to the Marshall Islands to teach English and Math at the Assumption School, a school that was under the Maryknoll Sisters for a long time. This has been an on-going mission for 26 years before the current pandemic put a hold to it. Preparations are being taken for its resumption next summer.

The Philippine Mission has also been a great service opportunity for a select number of our students. This usually happens during Spring Break or Holy Week.

The students visit at least four orphanages. They also help distribute relief goods to school children under the supervision of a local parish. When the mission trip is during Holy Week, half of the time is spent in religious observances and cultural immersion. The Sisters at the Maryknoll Ecological Sanctuary in Baguio City are always ready to welcome our team. They facilitate a retreat called the Cosmic Journey which emphasizes the human responsibility of caring for the earth.

While participation, inclusion, service, and leadership seemed to be the values that is promoted in Campus Ministry, these are just the extra-added values. The main value is for our school to create a culture where students, teachers, and staff may encounter the real person of Jesus Christ. Maryknoll is a place where all may come to discover their God-given talents and gifts.

“Maryknoll” literally means Mary-hill or Mary’s hill. And in many ways, Maryknoll school is a “hill” where the light of Christ shines through the light of each person here, and cannot be hidden.

“Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

Chasing Dreams and Setting Records THE RISE OF MALIA-ROSE HARVEY’25 WRITTEN BY BUDD LAUER

Meet Malia-Rose Harvey '25, a junior at Maryknoll School whose name has become synonymous with success on and off the track. With a remarkable ability to balance academics and athletics, Malia is not only a star in the realm of track and field, but she's also an exemplary student within the Maryknoll community.

From a tender age of eight, Malia discovered her passion for track and field, igniting a journey that would define her path. Her dedication and determination have propelled her to compete at the highest levels, marking her presence among the swiftest female sprinters in the United States.

This past summer, Malia showcased her exceptional talent at the Nike Outdoor Nationals and Junior Olympics held at the iconic Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon—a stage where dreams transform into reality. Remarkably, this was not her first appearance; Malia's remarkable journey to the Junior Olympics began when she was just ten years old, a testament to her unwavering commitment and boundless potential Hailing from Texas, the Harvey family embarked on a new adventure by moving to Honolulu in 2014. Malia's roots intertwine with Maryknoll, as her mother, Mary Ann Ramos, is a former Maryknoll student. Moreover, her father, Michael Harvey, is not only an integral part of the Harvey family but also a cornerstone of Maryknoll's track and field community. Michael, a former track and football athlete at New Mexico State University, holds the school record for the 100m—a record that stands as a testament to his prowess. At

Maryknoll, he not only nurtures athletes as the head track coach but also runs the Spartan Track Club Hawaii, instilling a love for athletics within the next generation.

Beyond her remarkable feats on the track, Malia's leadership extends to the realm of extracurricular activities. Serving as class president during her freshman and sophomore years, she embodies qualities of resilience, determination, and a commitment to leading by example.

For Malia, track and field is more than a sport—it's a guiding force that shapes her character, her choices, and her future aspirations. The challenges of balancing academics and athletics have imparted her with invaluable life lessons that transcend the track. Her journey has not only forged her into a leader but has also honed her discipline and work ethic—qualities she seamlessly translates into all aspects of her life.

During summers and fall seasons, Malia dedicates herself to her father's Spartan Track Club Hawaii, sharpening her skills and strengthening her foundation for the high school track spring season. Her commitment exemplifies her unwavering dedication to constant growth and improvement.

As Malia-Rose Harvey continues to carve her path, the track remains more than just a place to run—it's a realm of possibility, learning, and transformation. With each stride, she propels herself towards a future where excellence is not just a goal but a way of life.

LIVING OUR FAITH

BACHELOT HALL UPDATE In its pursuit of unifying the two campuses into a cohesive educational community, Maryknoll School is proud to present Bachelot Hall as a central hub fostering creative interaction between the grade school and the high school. With its rich history, the hall serves as a symbolic bridge connecting the two levels of education.

Dedicated in June 1923, Bachelot Hall stands as a tribute to Father Alexis Bachelot, a pivotal figure who led the first Catholic Mission to the Hawaiian Islands in 1827. As a testament to its historical significance and architectural value, Bachelot Memorial Hall received the prestigious honor of being added to the National Registry of Historic Places in 2001.

Today, as Maryknoll embarks on its journey of creating a unified educational experience, Bachelot Hall continues to hold a special place, embodying the school's values and heritage while embracing a vibrant future of learning and growth.

In 2020, the Living Our Faith, Creating Our Future capital campaign was initiated with the ambitious aim of raising $3 million for the renovation of Bachelot Hall, with the

vision of transforming it into a state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center and Parish Hall. After three years of dedicated efforts, we are thrilled to announce that in 2023, we successfully reached and surpassed our fundraising goal.

The first steps towards materializing this grand transformation began in late March, with the commencement of the initial construction on Bachelot Hall. The entire project is meticulously planned, and we anticipate its completion by February 2024, when we will unveil the splendidly renovated and rejuvenated space.

This achievement stands as a testament to the unwavering support and generosity of our community. As we eagerly look forward to the finished project, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who contributed to making this vision a reality. Together, we are paving the way for an enriched and vibrant future at Maryknoll School.

Overall, the project is progressing steadily, and the team is making diligent efforts to refurbish historical elements while ensuring structural integrity and quality in both interior and exterior aspects of the building.

Noblesse Oblige Award & Scholarship Dinner The Noblesse Oblige Award and Scholarship Dinner celebrates and perpetuates the spirit of Noblesse Oblige.

Over the past few years, we have experienced firsthand how the spirit of Noblesse Oblige – to whom much is given, much is expected – can transform lives. As we move forward, we work towards the vision of developing the next generation of service-minded leaders.

The Maryknoll School Noblesse Oblige Award for Service is given to those who devote their talent to the service of others. It honors those who give both example and meaning to Maryknoll’s motto, Noblesse Oblige.

This year we are excited to honor three exceptional individuals.

PETER C. K. FONG Peter C. K. Fong is an Attorney and Partner in Fong & Fong, Attorneys-at-Law, and serves as a per diem Judge for the State of Hawaii.

Currently serving as Chairman of the Board at Maryknoll School, Fong has also served as the President/CEO and Director of Chun Kim Chow, Ltd. – a Hawaii Business top 250 company; President of the Legal Aid Society of Hawai‘i; Chief Clerk & General Legal Counsel for the Hawai‘i State Senate Judiciary Committee; Chair of the Judges Salary Committee and Legislative Resource Bank for the Hawai‘i State Bar Association; Hearings Officer for the Disciplinary Counsel of the Supreme Court of Hawai‘i, General Legal Counsel for the Hawai‘i State Jaycees; President and Board Chair of the Palolo Chinese Home; and a member of the Waialae Country Club golf committee.

Fong is a graduate of the University of Hawai‘i BBA Honors, where he was its Graduation Marshall and the Outstanding Senior in Management; and Boston College Law School, where he was on the editorial staff of the Boston College International & Comparative Law Review. He received the Ten Outstanding Young Persons Award and Who’s Who in America, the World, and American Law. Fong adheres to the concept of "Noblesse Oblige", asserting that true success calls for an individual to share their gifts, talents, and the journey of their life with family, friends, and fellow mankind. This sharing is meant to enhance the lives of those you encounter throughout your life‘s journey.

“We are all bestowed with gifts that we are stewards of, and we have a duty to use those gifts not only for our own benefit, but also to share with and improve our fellow mankind.”

Dr. Tamura-Sato’s dedication to the Maryknoll School and its mission and values is evident in his work with the robotics and math teams. He helps students learn and grow while finding joy in math and its practical applications.

IN MEMORIUM

DR. GABRIEL W.C. MA It is with great sadness that we mark the passing of Dr. Gabriel W.C. Ma. Though he did not attend Maryknoll School (his two sons and three grandchildren did), Dr. Ma exemplified the values and qualities of Noblesse Oblige in both his professional and personal life.

Born in Hong Kong and a graduate of Adelphi College and the University of Sydney Medical School, Dr. Ma was an internationally renowned orthopedic and spine surgeon, and was distinguished for being the first Chinese board-certified orthopedic surgeon in Hawai‘i. He was highly esteemed for developing the Reinforced Ma-Griffith Method to repair ruptures of the Achilles tendon. This minimally invasive technique and low-cost surgery method continues to be used worldwide for its minimal nerve injury and good functional outcomes.

After retiring from his medical practice, Dr. Ma focused much of his indefaticable energy on

Maryknoll School. He served on the Maryknoll Board of Directors and development committee, and was a driving force in the construction of the Maryknoll community center and gymnasium. He and his late wife, Frances, endowed the Tsui Chiu and Yuet Hing Ma lecture room in the multi-purpose center in honor of his mother and father.

Recognized at the 2006 Maryknoll Scholarship and Award Dinner as the exemplar of Noblesse Oblige, Ma commented, “I’ve had a wonderful professional life...The rest of my time is for Maryknoll...When you do fundraising, people will give money if they know you are for Maryknoll, not for the glorified personal stuff.”

A special individual who used the power of his life for lasting good, Dr. Ma’s legacy is the countless lives he touched. In this way, Dr. Ma will forever be a part of the Maryknoll ‘ohana.

Alumni Week ‘23

ˉ ALUMNI LU‘AU

SOLD OUT! This year's Luau proved to be a remarkable tribute to the enduring connection of the ultimate Spartan Reunion! The enthusiastic turnout showcased the unbreakable bond we, as Maroon and Gold siblings, hold dear.

The Lū‘au, a cherished tradition, resounded with narratives that, were our school's walls to speak, would recount marvelous tales. The illustrious Wil Cordes '88, of The Forty Niner Restaurant, treated us to delectable Hawaiian cuisine, while the music guided us through the passage of many years. The gymnasium brimmed with the unwavering spirit of the Martyknoll sisters, fortifying our alumni pride and once again enveloping us in affection for our school's heritage.

We extend a heartfelt mahalo to all who contributed to the success of this year's Alumni Lū‘au. Witnessing so many familiar faces, sharing laughter, and crafting new memories was an absolute delight. Until we cross paths again — Go Spartans!

ALUMNI BOWLING This year's Jared Kaufmann Memorial '58 Bowl-A-Rama provided us with a deeper understanding of the essence of Mr. Kaufmann. Through bowling, we discovered that coming together and relishing each other's company are the driving forces behind the Annual Bowl-A-Rama's excellence. It was a privilege to witness the class of 1955 commemorating their reunion during the bowling and Lu‘au festivities. Our male champion this year was Patrick Mesiona, guest of Maxine Pada '55, and among our female participants, a dual victory was achieved by sisters: Madelin Agustin '23 and Mandi Agustin '22.

His father would later work at the Facilities Department at Maryknoll, paving Chasen’s way to receiving an education he would not have otherwise have considered. Now with a family of his own, that of his wife and daughter, his commitment to building relationships and legacies has only deepened.

Chasen is excited to building a vibrant alumni community that makes a difference in the lives of our graduates and the wider world, and to do it together. In the words of Mother Mary Joseph Rogers, the foundress of the Maryknoll Sisters, “The community is what we make it, you and I together, you and I as individuals. It’s a solemn thought, and a challenging one. Let us meet the challenge and set our feet firmly on the path that will insure for this beloved community of ours the integrity of its discipline, the reality of its mission vocation and the beautiful satisfaction of its family spirit.”

Maryknoll School MANDARIN IMMERSION PROGRAM

DUAL DEGREE PROGRAM

Our Mandarin Immersion Program launched in 2017, becoming the first in Hawaii to take place during the school day. This program gives students the opportunity to receive daily

Through an exciting partnership with Hawai‘i Pacific University (HPU), juniors and seniors

instruction in core subjects using a 50/50 model—50% of each day in Mandarin and 50% in English. In addition to developing proficiency in a second language, research shows that immersion students achieve the same levels of competence, or better, in academic subjects including English, in addition to many cognitive benefits.

Immersion integrates language and content, and is based on the principle that language is acquired most effectively when learned in a meaningful social context. School curriculum provides a natural basis for second language learning and immersion classrooms will follow the same curriculum as the non-immersion classroom. Our program allows students to learn the world’s most widely spoken first language, creating global opportunities for educational and career aspirations.

In middle school, Mandarin Immersion students continue their study in Mandarin with weekly language and culture classes taught in the immersion style.

have the option of taking courses at HPU for dual credit. Students who complete sufficient credits may even earn an HPU Associate of Arts degree at the same time as their high school diploma, potentially resulting in significant savings of up to two years’ worth of time and undergraduate tuition.

The AA in General Studies can be tailored to lead directly into most Bachelor programs. In the degree, students will complete coursework for all Curriculum Areas in the General Education Program and the remaining credits are taken as unrestricted electives. HPU college credits may transfer at many colleges and universities across the mainland U.S. and in Hawai’i.

Students applying to four-year colleges will in many cases be applying as first-time students and be eligible for undergraduate scholarships and financial aid. For students who wish to complete their four year bachelor’s degree at HPU, the AA degree will satisfy general education requirements.
