Many people don’t know this, but one of my fi rst “jobs” ever in high school was working as a work-study student for the Maryknoll Athletic Department during the summer of 2009. Now, at face-value, it doesn’t seem very exciting – organizing fi les, sorting athletic equipment, helping then athletic director Mrs. Patti Heatherly ‘66 with getting ready for the next school year. Without context, it was a very ordinary summer job.

However, this “ordinary” summer job became “extraordinary” very quickly when the keys to an amazing building were fi nally handed over to the school that summer – the newly constructed Maryknoll Community Center. I was fortunate and blessed to participate in a fi nal walkthrough of the entire building, learning and witnessing fi rst-hand what this space meant for Maryknoll School and our athletic program.

When I had a moment alone, I sat in the middle of the Clarence T.C. Ching Gymnasium in center court, now known as Sellitto Circle, and just thought about the immense possibilities having this amazing facility would allow for.

Fast forward ten years, and our Boys Varsity Basketball team was winning game-by-game in the state’s most competitive sports league. As the 2018-2019 season went on, all I could think of was sitting in center court of the gym floor, reflecting on what came to mind ten years ago. As time expired in the state championship game against Punahou, I was simply overwhelmed with emotion – elation, happiness, joy, and excitement.

While a hope and dream, it was far from a certainty that the construction of Maryknoll Community Center would result in this achievement and accomplishment for our athletic program.

This amazing accomplishment, however, was not due in part to a building, an individual, or a singular event. It was the collective result of a strong, tight-knit community coming together to advance a shared common purpose of moving Maryknoll School forward, leaving a legacy for future students to build upon.

The story of our 2018-2019 championship-winning basketball team, and our entire athletic program, runs parallel with that of our school as a whole – putting others before self, building upon the past to shape the future and selflessly serving our communities in different ways.

As you read through this year’s issue of the Knoller Magazine, keep in mind those that sacrificed so much to allow Maryknoll School to be the place it is today. A place where students learn to love God and one another; a place where service and Catholic values are interwoven in lessons taught inside and outside of the classroom; and a place where students thrive in an environment that provides growth - academically, spiritually and emotionally.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Dear Friends of Maryknoll School, Maryknoll School has always served a diverse array of children over the past decade. There have been children that exhibit brilliance, learning differences, dual language, special needs, behaviorally challenged, highly motivated, and disengaged. All of whom routinely gathered for morning prayer, ready to learn and make Maryknoll a better place for all. From my count, since the graduation class of 2009, there have been 1,546 students graduate from Maryknoll.

These students came to Maryknoll School, graduated, attended a university, and are either in the workforce or about to enter the workforce. They are all in a learning curve, experiencing some very significant, but typically underemphasized, cultural transitions between college to the professional world. In this new world, they learned to navigate three critical dimensions of the workforce; communication and feedback from colleagues, professional relationships with teams of people, and accountability. These three essential skills were also crucial skills taught while at Maryknoll!

These are 21st-century skills that all young professionals must master.

By definition, Maryknoll School is an innovative 21st-century school. An atmosphere of creative thinking has produced amazing school facility improvements and an integrated curriculum. It has aligned healthy faith formation with a service ethos. It has created thematic and personalized learning arenas with integrated technological opportunities. This 21st-century ethos underscores Maryknoll’s deep commitment for every Maryknoll student as a 21stcentury leader, learner, and global citizen of character.

Teachers are engaging students in higher-order thinking skills, creation of content, critical thinking, and collaborative approaches to learning. Other unique and innovative programs include inquirybased, student-centered, flipped classroom, and project and problembased learning We are all seeing the speed by which education is transforming quickly into an “innovation and personalized school culture.” We will continually strive to produce great leader teachers who both practice and teach, the value of feedback from colleagues, the rewards of having strong relationships with teams of people, and the importance of accountability.

Our teachers get much of the credit for making Maryknoll a great place to learn and an excellent place to work!

Mahalo,

PERRY MARTIN President, Maryknoll School

An Athletic Re

enaissance

BY STEPHANIE FRANK

Head Coach Kelly Grant ’84 doesn’t do a lot of long-winded talks. He realizes his varsity boys basketball team “can only focus for so long.”

But the eve before the 2019 Division I State Championship final game, Coach Grant took his athletes into the Clarence T.C. Ching Gymnasium. They gathered around and gazed up at the banner displaying the last year Maryknoll had won the boys basketball state title: 1984.

Coach Kelly spoke about the word ‘legacy’ – about how under Coach Tony Sellitto, Maryknoll became a boys basketball powerhouse, winning five league championships, three consecutive state Boys A titles (the equivalent of Division II today) from 1978 to 1980, and claiming the top state title in 1984.

He spoke about the athletes that came before that 1984 team and about how he and his teammates united to come from behind to beat Maui High in the final.

MARYKNOLL: A BASKETBALL POWERHOUSE

He then turned to the team and said, “It’s your turn. And maybe twenty years from now, whoever is coaching at Maryknoll will be talking about you.

“We used to get beat; I mean, pounded,” recollects Coach Sellitto, who would also serve as athletic director during his twenty-three-year Maryknoll tenure. “Our record in my first year as basketball coach was something ridiculous like 2-14.”

“They wanted it. They were focused.

Nothing was going to stop them,” recalls Coach Kelly.

The next day, on February 23, 2019, the Maryknoll School boys varsity I basketball team finished a 30-2 season with a decisive 50-34 win over Punahou, making Maryknoll the reigning Hawaii High School Athletic Association (HHSAA) Division I State Champion – and bringing to fruition the decadeslong dream of revitalizing Maryknoll’s athletic programs to compete at the highest level.

10

FALL 2019

After Tony Sellitto graduated college and finished his service in the Army, he was determined to work at a co-ed Catholic School. In 1965, he found his home at Maryknoll. As a standout high school and college athlete in football, basketball, baseball, boxing, and locally in softball, he wanted to coach. But the small Catholic school was far from competitive in the beginning.

With the support of Principal Sister Katherine Theiler, Coach Sellitto made slight changes, “which turned out to be dramatic changes,” he explains. The team practiced year-round, pounding the pavement on the outdoor courts next to the H-1 freeway. They began to dominate the summer leagues. And Coach Sellitto attracted phenomenal athletes to become Spartans.

Maryknoll had a number of storied

basketball players who catapulted the program to success: Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Darryll D.M. Wong ’68, former Maryknoll board member; Coach Sellitto’s two sons, Gino ’85 and Tino ’83; the Fletcher brothers, Kenny ‘76, Damon ‘79, and the youngest, Francis ’82, a twotime, all-state center who went on to play professionally in Europe and Australia and coach Hawaii Pacific University men’s team; standout guard Ricky Leong ’82; and many others.

Despite no home games and a minuscule budget (the players had the same game shirts for ten years, according to Coach Sellitto), Maryknoll began to win games, including three consecutive state Boys A titles from 1978 to 1980, and runner-up finishes in the Division AA (comparative to Division I today) state tournament in 1981 and 1982.

“We became known as a powerhouse.

Suddenly, no one wanted to play Maryknoll,” says Coach Sellitto. “We were small, but we were tough and talented.”

But the team had not won the Division AA state tournament (the equivalent of Division I today) – until the tight 1984 teammates united, which included Kelly Grant ’84 (current varsity

“WE BECAME KNOWN AS A POWERHOUSE. SUDDENLY, NO ONE WANTED TO PLAY MARYKNOLL,” SAYS COACH SELLITTO. “WE WERE SMALL, BUT WE WERE TOUGH AND TALENTED.” boys basketball head coach), Ben Valle ’84 (Maryknoll’s current athletic director), Mike Among ’84, Dominic Ostrowski ’84, Tony Turner ’84, Kui Ostrowski ’85, Danny Padello ’85, and Garrett Gabriel ’86. All five graduating seniors would receive a college athletic scholarship; four went to play basketball at HPU, and one went to play volleyball at University of Hawaii.

Danny Padello ’85, who currently lives in Virginia with his wife Lisa (Nakasato) ’92 and daughters Kyan and Keisha ’11 and serves in the Military National Guard Bureau, reminisces about the historic game, “I was ecstatic and relieved to win a championship for the school, Coach Tony Sellitto and his staff,” he says. “Also, winning the 1984 championship was for all the past talented players that had shaped the basketball program and that came close to winning a championship.”

Maryknoll achieved state runner-up finishes in Division AA again in 1986 and 1988 and advanced to third place in the Division AA state championship in 1985 and 1987.

In 1988, Coach Sellitto transitioned and became head coach of Hawaii Pacific

University’s men’s basketball team, with many of his former Maryknoll players joining him as assistant coaches during his seventeen-year stint, including Russell Dung ’70, Grant ’84, and Valle ’84. Coach Sellitto’s Sea Warriors won the 1993 NAIA national title, which remains as Hawaii’s only national basketball championship at the collegiate level.

Ben Valle ’84 reflects on the Maryknoll basketball legacy Coach Sellitto built, “In the late 70s and 80s, Maryknoll was synonymous with basketball in terms of athletics. When I look back to our win in 1984, I remember being part of an era.”

THE KNOLLER

2 019: A RENAISSANCE REALIZED The impact of that winning era and the 1984 championship has transgressed over three decades to Kelly Grant’s current coaching style.

“Knowing how to win makes a big difference,” Grant says. “Every athlete works hard and plays 100 percent in our league, but honestly that’s not enough.

You have to have good defense, shooting, and ball handling skills, but can you do that at a critical time? That’s the sign of a championship team.”

Coach Grant knew he “had a special group” this year. “When we went to Shanghai [in March 2018] and beat the number one team in China, we knew we had a good team.” This trip was a part of Maryknoll’s Common Goal Diplomacy Games international program.

One member of that special, championship team was Nikolas “Niko” Robben ’20, who took a critical charge in the final game to shock Punahou. “That shows toughness,” says Coach Grant.

After losing in the state championship semi-finals last year, Robben and his teammates were motivated to win this season. “During the offseason, we did quite a bit of training including weightlifting, beach training, and shooting days. Also, we participated in many team bonding events which brought us together,” he explains.

Two other members of Grant’s competitive team were his sons, Payton ’19 and Parker ’22, who both played basketball year-round growing up and served as Coach Grant’s ball boys while he was a coach, including while his Kaimuki team won the 2007 Division I boys basketball championship.

Payton had dreamed of winning a state championship like his uncles from the Kaimuki team. He dreamed of winning the final for Maryknoll, like his dad had done in 1984, and matching the framed picture of his dad cutting down the net that has hung on a wall at his home for years. And, as a senior, this was

12

FALL 2019

“YOU HAVE TO HAVE GOOD DEFENSE, SHOOTING, AND BALL HANDLING SKILLS, BUT CAN YOU DO THAT AT A CRITICAL TIME? THAT’S THE SIGN OF A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM.”

Payton’s last opportunity to achieve his dreams.

“Every day leading up to the season, my teammates and I did something to better ourselves; we knew if we wanted to reach our end goal, which was winning a state championship, we had to get stronger physically and mentally,” Payton says. “Being a state champion in my senior year just put the icing on the cake to my high school career. All my dreams and goals were accomplished through the hard work and dedication over the years.”

“EVERY DAY LEADING UP TO THE SEASON, MY TEAMMATES AND I DID SOMETHING TO BETTER OURSELVES; WE KNEW IF WE WANTED TO REACH OUR END GOAL, WHICH WAS WINNING A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP, WE HAD TO GET STRONGER PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY.” Niko, Payton, and Parker joined together with Kalai Akaka ’19, Tyler Brooke ’19, Logan Dias ’22, Reginald Eiland ’20, Noah Furtado ’21, Makoto Kamata ’19 (Most Outstanding Player HHSAA Division I Tournament), Irvin Lin ’21, Kahaweoakali‘aaloha McGee ’21, Matthew “Nui” Pila ’21, Liko Soares ’20, Marcus Tobin ’19 (HHSAA Division I Championship All-Tournament Team), and Sage Tolentino ’22, to play as a team and win the tournament.

FALL 2019

are you willing to do to get that?” he explains. “Most players are willing to lift weights and practice hard, but the real question is if they are willing to be unselfish and a good teammate.”

“The ’84 team may not have been the best team in that era. We got a good match-up, and we were able to win it,” Valle admits. “I don’t know if this 2019 was the best team in the last six years, but in terms of closeness and doing what it takes to win, they were the best.”

“They realized they were playing for something more than just themselves,” he concludes. “It was for a legacy. It was for Maryknoll.”

CLIMBING THE MOUNTAIN TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP Thirty-five years after Ben Valle clinched his state championship crown, he is sitting in the Stan Sheriff Center next to his wife and daughters. He sits as Maryknoll’s athletic director, as a member as the 1984 championship team, as a teammate to Kelly Grant ’84, and as a godparent to Payton Grant ’19, Kelly’s son. And, as the 2019 Division I Hawaii State Championship final progresses, he begins to realize the effects of numerous people’s work over the past decades.

“When we came down the home stretch, I started to tear up,” says Valle.

“Winning the state championship is a hard mountain to climb. But we did it.

I remember looking around at all the supporters in the stands and clearly realizing I am a part of something bigger than myself.”

“It’s never about any one player scoring a lot of points,” says Coach Grant.

“It’s about learning the game correctly, learning to be competitive, learning to be a good teammate.”

Past players, alumni, family, friends, coaches, Maryknoll faculty and staff – all had a role in the team winning the coveted Division I championship. And Coach Sellitto claims another essential element is necessary to win: “You’ve got to have leadership that says we will not settle for mediocrity.”

Athletic Director Ben Valle also emphasizes the importance of the team mentality, “I sit down with the seniors every year and ask them two questions: What do you want get out of this? What

After the powerhouse era of the 80s, key leaders made intentional moves to rise to the athletic renaissance of today, including building the Maryknoll Community Center with

an NBA-regulation basketball court, attracting multitalented studentathletes and coaches, and implementing comprehensive training regimes.

In 1992, Patricia “Pattie” Heatherly ’66 became the first female athletic director among co-educational private schools, and she served in that role for nearly twenty years.

“Pattie bridged many years of athletic leadership and planning while the Maryknoll Community Center was being discussed, planned, and built,” explains current Maryknoll President Perry Martin. “It was during this time that a vision was formed to grow our athletic programs.”

Michael Baker, Maryknoll’s president from 1997 to 2008 and the first lay head of school, led alongside Heatherly to obtain first-class athletic facilities.

Baker recalls, “When I arrived at Maryknoll, I was struck by the dedication of the coaches and parents who supported the teams, such as Blaine Gier ’88 and his competitive basketball 16

FALL 2019

boys. However, I soon realized we were in a highly competitive league and that, as a small school, we were at a disadvantage in attracting student-athletes and frontline coaches.”

“Moreover, our athletic facilities were a liability,” continues Baker. “While our program was enthusiastic and competitive, it was clear that to take the program to the next level we would have to offer far better conditions for our players and their coaches.”

With vision from board members Stacey Wong, Al Wong, and Tom Kosasa, the latter two who served as capital campaign co-chairs, Maryknoll opened its community center on Friday, September 4, 2009, providing a firstclass gymnasium, locker rooms, training facilities, meeting rooms, and more.

“I am confident that the Maryknoll Community Center has attracted multitalented student-athletes and coaching staff to the school who have made a significant contribution to the entire program,” says Baker.

The construction of the community center also added a space to display Maryknoll’s athletic history – with trophies, balls and plaques that were once housed all over the campus – finding a home in trophy cases in the hallway outside of the gym. And with banners proudly displayed in the Clarence T.C. Ching Gymnasium, teams can find inspiration from successful players of the past, as Coach Grant’s boys did.

ACHIEVING A VISION Over the past decade, the athletic renaissance has been led by President Perry Martin, who joined Maryknoll after Baker retired in 2008. Martin appointed John Madriaga, current high school principal, as athletic director in 2010, and Valle joined as co-athletic director in 2011.

Under their combined leadership, Maryknoll has excelled in athletics: boys baseball Division II state champions in 2013, 2014, and 2015; girls bowling state

champions in 2016; boys basketball state runners-up in 2013; and girls basketball state runners-up in 2016, 2017, and 2018.

“When John and I began as athletic directors, the idea was to pick a sport that we could excel at,” describes Valle, who has taught at Maryknoll for 29 years. “We chose basketball; we had a gym, and we could draw on our history.

We found great head coaches – Kelly Grant and Chico Furtado.”

“NOW THE SUCCESS AND COMPETITIVE SPIRIT HAS FILTERED OUT,” VALLE CONTINUES. “IT BECOMES CONTAGIOUS. WE ARE HOPING SOME OF OUR OTHER PROGRAMS CATCH THE VIRUS.” “Now the success and competitive spirit has filtered out,” Valle continues. “It becomes contagious. We are hoping some of our other programs catch the virus.”

Maryknoll also desires to add other competitive teams to “fly under our own flag,” explains Valle. Over the past three years, Maryknoll has fielded its own cross country and track and field teams.

This past school year, the school’s judo team now flies under Maryknoll’s own banner. In previous years, these teams were fielded by PAC-5.

“We want to compete in as many sports as we can,” says Valle. “First, students are here as students, and second they are here as athletes, but the experiences, the people, and the life lessons learned from athletics last.”

Valle, who still sees his high school teammates regularly, learned the life lesson of perseverance when he was on the ’84 team – a lesson he continues to apply today as he builds top teams with a small student body. “Our team had a lot of adversity – injuries, defeats, roster changes, but collectively we persevered,” he remembers.

That perseverance paid off in the 80s, and it is paying off now. “Winning

a state championship takes incredible amounts of vision, determination, discipline, leadership, and hard work,” says President Martin, who was a varsity scholar-athlete in football, basketball, baseball and track during his high school years.

“Special leaders needed to change the Maryknoll athletic culture by creating ‘bigger, faster, stronger’ elements in the daily life of each athlete,” President Martin continues. “Our athletic directors and coaches planned strength programs, on-season and off-season workouts, and stronger curriculum surrounding personal health, nutrition, and faith. A whole new generation of Maryknoll School will now experience athletic programs as excellent as our academic programs.”

A CHAMPIONSHIP ETHOS By winning the 2019 Division I boys basketball championship, a new era of powerhouse Maryknoll athletics has begun, built on a rich legacy.

Coach Grant says, “The five seniors that graduated in June 2019 were really talented, but the underclassmen are also talented. They are going to compete, and they are going to work hard. It will be no different.”

Maryknoll’s championship ethos has been established. “With continued hard work, collaborative leadership, financial support, and prayer, Maryknoll will be able to develop a championship ethos for all its students,” says President Martin.

“The current championship ethos has created higher achievements in the arts, clubs, academics, and student service.

As Maryknoll athletics continue to grow and expand, there will be many more bold, brave, Spartans showing our community what it means to be a true scholar-athlete.”

One of those Maryknoll scholarathletes with a championship mentality is Parker Grant ’22. He reflects, “When the buzzer went off and we had won the state championship, I first thought, ‘Wow, our team just made history.’ It was an unimaginable feeling that I would like to feel again.”

Shriners Hospital

& Maryknoll School

How Two Different Organizations Share A Common Mission Rooted In Giving Back WRITTEN BY LESLIE LANG

Maryknoll’s motto—Noblesse Oblige, or “to whom much is given, much is expected”— is woven into the fabric of our school, students and alumni.

Maryknoll alumni Arielle Magpoc ‘11, Ashlyn Kawasaki ‘11, and Kevin McLain ‘11 all graduated from Maryknoll in 2011.

Each went on to college, and after graduation, all three came home and volunteered their time at Shriners Hospitals for Children.

The state-of-the-art hospital treats children from Hawaii and the Pacific with orthopedic and neuromusculoskeletal disorders and conditions, regardless of their ability to pay. It sits right across the street from the school.

PARTNERSHIP Maryknoll and Shriners have developed a strong partnership. Students at least 16 years old can volunteer at the hospital. They may work in recreation therapy, help patients with schoolwork assigned by their home school, or provide clerical support. These volunteer opportunities are available to adults and other teens as well, although only on weekdays. Maryknoll students can even buy breakfast or lunch at the Shriners cafeteria.

When Magpoc, Kawasaki, and McLain were high school students, there wasn’t yet a partnership between the school and the hospital. They found their way to Shriners Hospital anyway.

SHRINERS DOCTORS TRAVEL TO THE PACIFIC ISLANDS TO SHOW FAMILIES HOW CHILDREN CAN BENEFIT FROM THEIR CARE, AND THEN HELP BRING CHILDREN NEEDING THEIR SERVICES TO HONOLULU. COURAGE Magpoc, currently in her first year of medical school, is at the Western University of Health Sciences, College of Osteopathic Medicine of the PacificNorthwest in Lebanon, Oregon.

After high school, she attended Chapman University in California and then returned to Hawaii as a pre-med student.

She volunteered at Shriners as a recreation therapy aide, helping children adjust to being in the hospital. They did activities such as arts and crafts for fine motor skill work, and sports like bowling and baseball. She helped with cooking activities, too, which taught the young patients about nutrition. “The department likes to give them tools they can take back home with them,” she said.

20

FALL 2019

She says it was interesting to learn about access, and lack of access, to health care. Shriners doctors travel to the Pacific Islands to show families how children can benefit from their care, and then help bring children needing their services to Honolulu.

Learning that, she says, gave her the courage to go on a medical mission to the Philippines herself. “It was definitely a life-changing experience.”

She says she’s glad she volunteered at Shriners. “It was one of the experiences that helped solidify my aspirations to be a physician.”

“When I become a physician,” she says, “I hope I will continue to go outside my comfort zone and help people in other areas.”

PERSPECTIVE Kawasaki earned a degree in biology from the University of Portland after high school and now works for a home health agency in Honolulu. She’s in her third year volunteering at Shriners, where she works in both the physical therapy and recreational therapy departments.

She’s currently applying to graduate programs in physical therapy. “It’s good to have shadowing opportunities and build up experience,” she says. She hopes to establish her career in Hawaii.

Because she has also recently coached golf at Maryknoll, she’s heard students talk about the school’s partnership with the hospital. And when handing out recreational therapy goody bags, she’s seen they contain coloring books made for patients by Maryknoll elementary students.

She says she volunteers around children with all sorts of disabilities and health issues. “They’re very capable and resilient,” she says. “If they can go through all that, it makes you think you can do anything because you’re healthy.

“It has changed my perspective on what can and can’t be done.”

GRATITUDE Kevin McLain has just embarked on a doctorate program in physical therapy at Touro University Nevada.

After high school, he earned a bachelor of science degree in kinesiology and rehab science. Then he worked in a Kailua outpatient physical therapy clinic. When he decided to apply for graduate studies in physical therapy, he volunteered in Shriners’ rehab department. He cleaned and fixed wheelchairs and moved equipment to where it needed to be.

He saw that it is often emotionally draining for Shriners patients to go through physical therapy, especially because they are away from home and most of their family. There are also cultural and language differences.

“So bringing some levity to that situation can make their therapy a little more enjoyable,” he says, “and a little more manageable.”

He talks about how well the school motto, Noblesse Oblige, lines up with what Shriners does.

“Shriners provides care even if families can’t afford to pay,” he says.

“That’s why a lot of those kids come from those Pacific Islands to Hawaii—because they can’t necessarily get that same level of treatment where they’re from, or their families can’t afford it there.”

His volunteer work, he says, was a real eye-opening experience. “It makes you grateful for the things we do have, and the opportunities we have to make an impact on those who don’t have those kinds of opportunities.”

What Teacher s Want For Their Students

BY LESLIE LANG

Ask Maryknoll teachers what’s important to them, and you quickly learn they have goals for their students that go beyond what they discuss in class.

K YLE DAVIS Take AP Biology teacher Kyle Davis, for instance. He’s also the Medical Innovation specialist in the school’s Pathways program, an academic dean, and head coach coordinator for Cross Country and Track and Field. It’s the Pennsylvania native’s fifth year at Maryknoll, although he has taught for over 20 years.

He admits he has a reputation as a taskmaster. “I tell them yes, the amount of work I’m going to ask you to do is going to be tough, but I’m going to be here to totally support you the whole time.”

they’ll stop in and sometimes we’ll do an alumni lunch or dinner together.”

He says more than 10 of his students have become doctors, and many more than that are now nurses. He started down the pre-med route himself but didn’t ultimately pursue it. What he’s doing now, he says, is more rewarding.

“If I became a doctor, I would be helping those people who came to me for help,” he says. “But now, as a teacher who’s kind of pushing people down that route, I can say I created 10 people who are doing that. So basically it’s like 10 times the amount of what I could have done on my own.”

“Dare I use the word legacy? If I were going to have a legacy, it would be that I pushed people to do things they might not have thought they could accomplish.”

KYLE DAVIS

WENDY CHANG Wendy Chang teaches music to grades K through 4, leads an afterschool elementary choir, and helps run a community chorus during the Christmas season. It’s her 14th year teaching at Maryknoll.

When she moved to Hawai‘i from her native Taiwan at age 13, she didn’t know a word of English. But at Jarrett Intermediate School, she joined the school orchestra and played the violin. She says it gave her a sense of belonging and accomplishment during a difficult transition. And it gave her perspective on what some of her students today go through.

She says there’s always more to her classroom lessons than students realize.

“They do a lot of singing and dancing, but I don’t put a song in my curriculum unless there’s something to be learned from it,” she says. “Or they might think they are just playing a game, but it’s a singing game, so they are actually singing a solo. We can hear their voice to see if they are matching pitch or are close, or if the rhythm is correct.”

He says it’s probably the most important thing students learn from him.

“I push them to the brink and get them to do a level of work they didn’t think they were capable of,” he says. “Because when they experience success, then that success is truly theirs.”

At the end of the school year, he hands out his personal email, social media accounts, and cell number to graduating seniors, and many keep in touch. “I’ll sometimes get little video clips of them stressing out while studying in college. Or I get a text asking me to send the notes I gave in a certain class. When they’re home,

Research shows music helps with brain development, she points out, and it can also provide a place to fit in. “It really helps with your confidence and well-being; with who you are.”

When her son was young, she had him join the Hawaii Youth Opera Choir. Later in college, she explained, he could join a choir, and he’d have an instant family. She didn’t choose a band, she said, because a band might not need the instrument he plays. But choirs always need men.

And he gained from it, she says. “It made him a much better public speaker

because he was used to being in front of an audience. He was used to making adjustments and being flexible. You don’t think about it, but in music, you are always making mistakes. You’re never perfect. So when you are performing, you are always figuring out, ‘What am I going to do next?’”

It’s what she wants all her students to be able to do.

WENDY CHANG

She wants them to think music is fun, know they can do it, and have a place they fit in. “Then, they can do lifelong learning.

They can go join a band, they can go join a choir, and they’re not afraid.”

CHELSEA MALEFYT Kaimuki-born Chelsea Malefyt, who’s starting her sixth year at Maryknoll, teaches Project Lead the Way (PLTW) to grades K to 3. That’s a student-directed, story-based science unit where students must solve a problem within a small group. She also leads one of Maryknoll’s afterschool robotics programs.

Every PTLW unit ends with a project about how to help someone in need. One of the kindergarten units, for instance, teaches about the human body. In the culminating project, one of the story’s fictional characters breaks her arm.

Students learn about going to the hospital, having x-rays, and getting a cast. Then they receive supplies and must create a cast that is waterproof and prevents the bones from moving.

The PLTW curriculum requires students to frequently switch roles in their small groups. “The natural-born leader won’t be the leader every day,” she says. “It doesn’t just focus on what one child needs.

It fits everybody.”

Because she teaches the same students over several years, she gets to see them grow and progress. She says she’s seen shy kids turn into students who are leading the way toward the end of the year.

In third grade, students build a glider to deliver aid and support to a third-world country. “They take a paper glider and attach paper clips and things,” she says, “like little pieces of paper that say ‘food,’ ‘water,’ and ‘shelter.’

She loves that they are learning to come up with important, real-world solutions that help others. “They don’t realize that as they grow up, they could be the ones making a device that helps someone lost in the woods to signal for help, or creating aircrafts that help get food and water to third-world countries.”

“I couldn’t ask for a better job.”

DA MIEN ‘99 & LYNN ‘01 ENRIGHT

GIVING BACK FOR A NEW GENERATION For Damien ‘99 and Lynn ‘01 Enright, giving back to Maryknoll just made sense. The couple, who graduated in 1999 and 2001, respectively, always loved Maryknoll’s focus on service and carried it with them into the community.

Through her family company, Prime Care Services Hawaii, Lynn has supported organizations like the American Cancer Society and Hospice Hawaii, and Damien’s engineering firm, Structural Systems Inc., has provided pro bono services to public schools and nonprofits.

While they’ve supported the Maryknoll Golf Tournament and other events over the years, they decided to get more involved after their oldest son, Brady, started kindergarten last year.

“It was like, ‘Ok, how else can we help,’” Lynn says.

Sponsoring two tables at the Kekumano Scholarship Dinner was a way to step things up.

They said it was especially rewarding to support

the school’s tuition assistance program, and to see the direct impact of their contribution.

“It’s such a great cause,” Lynn says. “We found out these Kekumano scholars are all excelling academically, and we were so impressed with the recipient of the scholarship this year.”

Since then, they’ve looked for other ways to stay involved, large and small. They’ve contributed baked goods for the annual Paina and made leis for Lei Day, and Damien has talked with the school about ways his engineering firm can participate in a STEM program. “That’s an exciting opportunity that may be coming up,” he says.

Lynn says having a child at Maryknoll inspires them to stay involved. “We both had great personal and academic experiences when we were there, and we have family and friends who are alumni,” she says. “We want to do this for him, and for the future generations.”

DOUG HO ‘60

THE GIFT OF LANGUAGE In addition to the education he received at Maryknoll, Doug Ho ‘60 attended a Chinese language school from an early age. “Everybody knows that China is one of the leading countries in the world in terms of economic advancements,” he says. “I thought that someday it would be useful, and it sure is, now.”

That early education is one reason Ho ’60, has supported Maryknoll’s Chinese Immersion Program, the only school-day Mandarin immersion program in Hawaii. The program launched in 2017 with kindergarten and first grade, and is in the process of expanding through sixth grade. More than 80 children are now enrolled.

“You give Maryknoll students a jump start on learning a language at an early age,” Ho says.

“The greatest time to start these kids is when they’re young.”

Ho helped launch the program with $20,000 in seed funding, and recently donated $500,000 to support its expansion. The funds will support curriculum development, faculty training, and enhanced learning tools for the program over the next 5 years.

Ho said he supports Maryknoll because the school provides an education that’s unique in the state. He said his Maryknoll education and ROTC experience helped prepare him to succeed in college at Notre Dame University, and as an officer in the U.S. Army, where he served in the Vietnam War. “All that training from Maryknoll helped me to achieve whatever I could achieve,” he said.

MARIA SAL AVERIA ‘20

CHEERING FOR HER SCHOOL When student council elections were held in her freshman year, Maria Salaveria was intrigued. “I was on the sidelines and thought, this looks like something I’d be interested in doing —there’s a lot of stuff I could do,” she recalls. A year later, she signed up and was elected president of her sophomore class.

For Maria, now a senior, serving in student council has been a way to give back to her peers and school community.

She loved leading student meetings, where she helped gather feedback and ideas from her classmates, and she helped organize events, like advisory breakfast days, where students could bring in a breakfast item to share and bond with their advisory group.

Maria, 17, wasn’t re-elected to student council this year, but still looks for ways to participate and support her school, including helping write a skit for the Christmas song competition, and contributing her ideas. She’s also excited to participate in Concert Choir for the first time, and continues to support Maryknoll athletes as part of the Cheer Team.

After graduation, Maria hopes to attend college in New York, where her goal is to pursue a career in the performing arts, or journalism. She says she appreciates the sense of community she’s gained at Maryknoll. “The class sizes are small, and the people are so helpful,” she says. “I love all the teachers who’ve helped me and the friends I’ve made at this school.”

Great Reward, Greater Responsibility

BY KRISTEN NEMOTO JAY

Maryknoll School’s annual scholarship dinner celebrates the importance of giving back to the community.

THE KNOLLER

When Yucheng “Anna” Wu ‘20 is asked to remember some highlights from this year’s Monsignor Charles A. Kekumano Scholarship dinner—held on May 11 at the Sheraton Waikīkī—she recalls taking lots of pictures, enjoying her chocolate peanut butter mousse dessert, and getting to chat with people who were eager to give her advice.

“The night was amazing,” Wu says, who was this year’s Kekumano scholarship recipient; an award given to a Maryknoll junior whom embodies the characteristics of a service-based student. “I had the pleasure of talking with all of these people who’ve had so much more experiences in life. If it weren’t for that night, I wouldn’t have been able to meet them. It was a memorable experience.”

Although that night wouldn’t have allowed her to dine and chat with esteemed dignitaries such as Bishop Larry Silva, Dr. Darlene Ramones ‘00— Kekumano’s first scholarship recipient, and the dinner’s master of ceremony and Hawaii News Now anchor Stephanie Lum ‘94, Wu is too humble to realize that her hard work in academics and dedication to service is the reason why she was deserving to be there in the first place.

Born and raised in northern China’s Shandong province, Wu moved to Honolulu with her father in 2014. It was somewhat of a difficult transition because of the language barrier but through Wu’s exposure to Englishlearning classes and the determination to excel in her academics, she became fluent in both languages. Her time spent at Maryknoll School has taught her the combined value of both a strong academic and community-service background.

“Maryknoll School has taught me the importance of an eastern and western education,” Wu says. “If it weren’t for my education at Maryknoll School, I would have thought that just getting good grades is all that mattered. My time here has taught me that giving back also has its rewards and is important to the community.”

FALL 2019

Wu’s Maryknoll School experience has inspired her to become a volunteer at the Khan Academy where she helped the Simplified Chinese Localization Project translate and proofread more than 355,000 words. Wu also volunteered her time at an animal rescue in Laie and also as docent and assistant zookeeper at Honolulu Zoo. This year alone Wu has accumulated over 575 hours of community service.

WU’S MARYKNOLL SCHOOL EXPERIENCE HAS INSPIRED HER TO BECOME A VOLUNTEER AT THE KHAN ACADEMY WHERE SHE HELPED THE SIMPLIFIED CHINESE LOCALIZATION PROJECT TRANSLATE AND PROOFREAD MORE THAN 355,000 WORDS. Every year, since 1998, Maryknoll School has awarded the Monsignor Charles A. Kekumano Scholarship to a student who will be a senior in the following academic year. The scholarship was named in Monsignor Kekumano’s honor for his work with the Diocese of Honolulu, devotion to children’s education, and his strong involvement with local charities. Along with exemplifying financial need, the recipient of the scholarship must demonstrate an impressive academic profile and present a commitment to the teachings of Maryknoll School and Monsignor Kekumano.

This year’s Kekumano scholarship dinner theme was Maryknoll School’s motto: “Noblesse Oblige,” which means “to whom much is given, much is expected.”

Wendy Chang, Maryknoll School’s director of institutional advancement whose work involves fundraising for the school, says the theme was befitting to this year’s dinner as the entire program highlighted the school’s community.

CAMPUS LIFE

“I can’t think of anything else to describe the event other than a big ‘warm hug,’” Chang says. Collaborations between every department, she says, was a perfect example of Maryknoll School’s dedication to its students and commitment to service. From Maryknoll’s middle and grade school choir teacher who stayed late to teach the songs that were sung at the dinner, to the videographers who captured moments of students involved in community service to showcase within the highlight reel, and the thousands of dollars worth of prizes donated for the live auction, Maryknoll’s community exemplifies the meaning of altruism and compassion for others.

“The amount of collaboration and the amount of students that we had to be a part of this annual dinner was what I was most proud of,” Chang says.

“For this was the first year that we focused primarily on Maryknoll School and everything that these amazing students, teachers and staff members

have accomplished. ‘Noblesse Oblige’ was the perfect theme because that’s what Maryknoll School is about: giving and sharing its opportunities with the community.”

Wu is grateful for the opportunity to give back to the community that has taught her so much about herself and her capabilities. With this experience as Maryknoll School’s 2019 Kekumano scholar, Wu now feels comfortable giving out her own words of advice to those looking to expand their horizons in school or within the community.

“I think it’s important to pursue what you value versus what your culture has instilled in you,” Wu says while acknowledging the fact that she’s still trying to find a good “fusion” between her upbringing in China and learning within an American-based educational system. “Maryknoll School has taught me the importance of giving back to those in need and I’m excited to continue to do so after I graduate.”

MELISSA YAMAGUCHI AND BRENNAN ‘27

THE SPIRIT OF “NOBLESSE OBLIGE” For Melissa Yamaguchi, mother of 5thgrader Brennan Yamaguchi ‘27, giving back is part of the Maryknoll experience. Yamaguchi has been active with the school community since Brennan was in kindergarten. But while she joins in partly to stay involved in her son’s education, volunteering is also a way she tries to uphold the spirit of “Noblesse Oblige.”

“I’ve always been active in classroom activities,” she says. “He’s my only child, and it’s important that I know what’s going on with his community and what he’s doing in school, but I also want him to be a compassionate student.”

The Hawaii Kai resident has been active in the classroom, participating in class activities, field trips, Maryknoll sports, and the school lu’au and other special events. “I really enjoy the community service days,” she says.

For one work day, Yamaguchi pitched in when Brennan’s class joined the nonprofit group Malama Maunalua to help remove invasive algae and seaweed from the reef at Maunalua Bay. As she waded through the cool water and scooped up handfuls of algae, Yamaguchi felt good to be giving back—and she also enjoyed working alongside her son and getting to know his classmates and teachers a little better.

“It feels wonderful, and I like seeing how rewarding it is for Brennan,” Yamaguchi says.

Through volunteering together, Yamaguchi hopes her family will embody Maryknoll’s values and share them with the community.

“I think we have that responsibility,” she says.

“We’re given so much through this education, and we bring that back to society. We show our students and our kids that this is important, this is our responsibility.”

Outstanding Service THE NOBLESSE OBLIGE M A N T R A A N D M A R Y K N O L L’ S CULTURE OF GIVING BACK

BY ILIMA LOOMIS

At Maryknoll, students are blessed– with a great support system of leaders, with a strong academic foundation, with a close-knit group of peers, friends and fellow students. It’s a lot to be thankful for, but here, they go a step further, thanks to the Noblesse Oblige credo that informs the school’s culture every step of the way.

“Noblesse Oblige means that to whom much is given, much is expected,” says Father EJ Ikaika Resinto, Pastor of Maryknoll School and Sacred Heart Church. “I think that in order to understand the concept of Noblesse Oblige, we need to understand that we are all responsible stewards for the resources that are given to us.”

For Father EJ, the credo goes hand-in-hand with the Catholic tenet of giving back, which fundamentally acknowledges and shows gratitude and humility for the gifts that God has bestowed on his faithful. And, while giving back can happen in many ways–from giving God himself honor THE KNOLLER

and glory, to giving service to the larger community in some tangible way–there is always one common thread through it all: A deeply rooted sense of love. “Faith, hope and love,” says Father EJ, quoting 1 Corinthians 13:13 as his personal motto, and the theme he tries to use in all his work, whether it’s with faculty, staff or students. “In everything we do, there should be good because we are a people who love each other. And the goodness is in loving, in the act of charity.”

The message is one that spreads easily, even to those not directly in the Maryknoll community. Father EJ remembers a recent doctor’s visit at which the technician happened to be a parent of a Maryknoll student, and shared with him stories of their family going out on weekends to bring sandwiches to the homeless on the streets. “I said, ‘Oh, is that through the school?’” remembers Father EJ “He said, ‘Oh no, Father. We just like to do that.

God has blessed us with so many gifts and we want to share that, in the spirit of Noblesse Oblige.’ I’m sure there are many unspoken ones that do the same things in different ways.”

“I TRULY BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE, NO MATTER WHAT FAITH THEY PROFESS, NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE, IS MADE TO BE A GOOD PERSON.” As organizers of service days, Director of Student Services Jeremy Ramos ‘07 has a front row seat for the kind of positive community impact that the Noblesse Oblige mindset can have on the community. Multiple times per year, the entire school has gone off campus to pitch in en masse at spots such as Paepae o He’eia, a native Hawaiian fishpond on the east side of the island, Ala Wai watershed in Manoa Valley, The Hawaiian Humane Society, Mo‘ili‘li Cemetery, Honolulu Zoo and Keawawa Wetlands.

FALL 2019

What’s more, students receive an opportunity to further themes they’ve been touching upon in class, from cultural connections to the land, to environmental science. There’s an understanding also, on campus, that learning happens outside of the classroom,” explains Ramos. “And learning is really about the engagement of the child to the rest of the world.

When we see a child that has that level of engagement we have the kind of feeling that they’re getting it. They’re understanding what they’re learning and why its important and how that applies to their lives.”

Ramos recalls one standout example of a student in the Civil Air Patrol program at Maryknoll, last year during the Hurricane Lane scare. While the rest of the city was shutting them and their families up in their homes and stocking up on supplies, this student was manning radio communications and helping relay the coordination between emergency response or prep agencies in different areas. “I remember one of the Civil Air Patrol teachers telling me just how proud they were of this particular student, who took his entire weekend just to help with this ordeal. While everyone else was at home trying to hunker down, he was trying to give back.”

In the end, Noblesse Oblige is a reflection of how education, faith, service and love are key elements of Maryknoll culture, and are inextricably linked together. “I truly believe that everyone, no matter what faith they profess, no matter who they are, is made to be a good person,” declares Father EJ “Because God doesn’t make junk. What he expects is that we try ourselves to be the good person that he created us to be: to give back. He made good, so we do good. In everything that we do, the way we speak, our actions, our desires, our intentions–all should be directed toward doing good. Because doing good is an act of loving.”

CLASS OF 2019 STUDENTS GRADUATE FROM MARYKNOLL AND HAWAII PACIFIC UNIVERSITY WITH DUAL DEGREES

DOUBLE THE SUCCESS

DOUBLE THE SUCCESS

BY MARIA KANAI

Getting ahead during college can make a world of difference. Whether it’s through completing pre-requisites ahead of time or having a well-planned degree path, the future is bright for our students when they are given the right set of tools and opportunities.

On Thursday, May 9, 2019, five Maryknoll seniors – Taylor-Anne Atou ‘19, Angeline Tanjutco ‘19 (HPU Honors), Tyson Tonokawa ‘19 (HPU Honors), Dani Sur ‘19 (HPU Honors) and Kai Sunahara ‘19 – made history at Maryknoll by graduating with their Associate of Arts degrees from Hawaii Pacific University (HPU). On June 7, 2019, alongside their Maryknoll classmates, they officially graduated from Maryknoll School with both their high school diplomas and two years of undergraduate credits under their belts. This was all due to the trailblazing partnership between the two educational institutions. This collaboration is one of the first of its kind in the non-public school, K-12 environment that allows for students to experience both college and high school at the same time and come out ahead.

The vision of the dual-degree was inspired in 2017 by President John Gotanda of HPU and President Perry Martin of Maryknoll. “They are the ones that were at the table for the initial meeting. We had a group of about 20 people around the room,” says Mani Sehgal, Dean of HPU’s College of Professional Studies. “It was amazing to see so many people investing in such a great cause.”

The program not only saves time and tuition costs for the families, but eases the transition between high school and college. “It is a win-win-win situation. A win for the student, a win for the families and a win for the community,” says Sehgal. “There’s been nothing but positive reviews from many thankful parents for allowing their sons and daughters to take advantage of such a unique opportunity.”

The Class of 2019 students were initially apprehensive and nervous. “They were not sure what they were getting themselves into. Our Assistant Dean, Ms.

56

FALL 2019

Yvonne Vance did an excellent job making the students feel comfortable with what to expect, and making sure the transition between the high school and college setting was smooth,” says Sehgal.

Vance’s role was to learn about the students’ academic interests and their future goals in order to craft their degree plans for the next four terms. She would also check in with the students before and after class, and kept lines of communication open with their professors.

Once the students were acclimated to their courses, they became much more independent. “You could see them mature over the four semesters,” says Sehgal.

“IT IS A WIN-WIN-WIN SITUATION. A WIN FOR THE STUDENT, A WIN FOR THE FAMILIES AND A WIN FOR THE COMMUNITY.” Vance and Sehgal’s dedication paid off.

For example, Tanjutco made up her mind early in the process to pursue biology, so she started the BS in Biology pathway while still in the Associate of Arts program.

She is now guaranteed to complete her bachelor’s degree in two years (graduating in 2021) because she continued with HPU in the BS in Biology program.

Sunahara started working for HPU’s IT department in the summer before his Maryknoll senior year. The experience helped him decide what degree program he should pursue and also gave him more confidence in interpersonal communication since he had to interact with students, staff and faculty at HPU. Atou wanted to pursue law, but was not sure if it was the right path. “We set her up on an internship with a judge. In the short time she spent in the judge’s office, we saw tremendous improvement in her confidence and belief in herself,” says Vance. Sur experimented with different classes at HPU and gained a wide array of knowledge. “She definitely learned to be more decisive and deliberate about her goals,” says Vance.

CAMPUS LIFE

THEY LEFT HPU MORE CONFIDENT, INDEPENDENT AND READY TO TACKLE THE COLLEGE CULTURE AND ENVIRONMENT. Tonokawa placed into Calculus I right off the bat, and the class helped him eliminate many prerequisite classes needed for medical and dental school.

One semester, he took 18 credits and still managed to ace the classes. He says, “The best thing the teachers and advisors provided was the support they gave us.

Sometimes I didn’t think I would do well in college, but they believed in us and it gave me a sense of safety and confidence that I could in fact do well at this level of schooling.” He plans on pursuing integrative biology at the University of California, Berkeley, and he’s hoping that

his dual-degree has shortened the time and money he spends there.

“All of them have grown so much from the first day they stepped on campus,” says Vance. “They left HPU more confident, independent and ready to tackle the college culture and environment.

It will make their transition to a bigger campus on the mainland so much easier and less intimidating.”

Today, there are currently two seniors who will be graduating with their Associate of Arts degree next spring. There are also 14 incoming Maryknoll students who started in the fall 2019 semester.

“The partnership between Maryknoll and HPU is part of a commitment to approach higher education in an innovative way while providing students the unique opportunity to personalize their academic experiences, right here at home,” says Sehgal.

Model Student MARYKNOLL’S GRADUATE PROFILE CHARTS A COURSE FOR EDUCATION

BY ILIMA LOOMIS

CAMPUS LIFE

These are some of the diverse characteristics that make up Maryknoll’s new “Graduate Profile,” an outline of the qualities and skills the school expects its students to develop over the course of their education. While the profile looks at the ideal traits of Maryknoll graduates, its larger purpose is to serve as a roadmap, guiding everything from coursework and grading policies, to the expectations set for students preparing for a life post-Maryknoll.

“Maryknoll is a school built on tradition, a tradition of academic excellence, service, and community,” says Robyn Gausman-Burnett, former school curriculum specialist at Maryknoll, who led the process at the school before moving back to the mainland to be closer to family. “This profile brings all of these characteristics together while incorporating a few new concepts, like technology, independence, and financial literacy.”

Gausman-Burnett interviewed students, teachers, administrators, and parents, and went beyond Maryknoll’s campus to talk with other educators, business leaders, and community members about what they felt was important for post-high-school success. The process grew out of the international XQ Super School Project, which gathered educators from more than 140 countries to outline the biggest priorities for students moving through high school.

The process was eye-opening, Gausman-Burnett says. “I had no idea how far apart teachers, myself included, were from what the community felt was

Spirituality was another value stakeholders wanted to see included.

The resulting profile identifies seven characteristics, including some that reflect “Spiritual stewardship, spiritual curiosity, and a sense of fellowship — as a Catholic universal values, and others unique to school, incorporating the Christian Maryknoll’s tradition. Under the profile, Catholic identity was important,” she says.

Maryknoll graduates are independent learners, effective communicators, Maryknoll completed its high school community collaborators, and goalgraduate profile in April 2018, and setting navigators -- meaning that they’re went on to develop additional profiles adept at setting and working towards for school faculty, middle school, and concrete goals to serve themselves and elementary school students. “All the their community. They’re also “spiritual profiles feed into each other,” Gausmanstewards,” individuals who have a deep Burnett says. “We had to figure out connection to the wider world through where we wanted to end to determine spiritual values and beliefs, who embody where to start. The seven characteristics values like love, forgiveness, acceptance, in high school serve as the end of a and sincerity, and who serve as an “ethical student’s journey, so the early skills build compass for the future,” working to upon one another as a student progresses advance justice for those less fortunate. through Maryknoll.”

Finally, according to the profile, Maryknoll graduates represent the characteristic of technical plasticity, or the ability to work with and adapt to a wide variety of technological platforms; as well as financial and economic literacy, including not only the skills to manage their own money responsibly, but also to understand how larger regional, national, and global economic trends shape the world.

From academic excellence to a strong spiritual foundation, Maryknoll’s graduate profile is a reflection of the school’s past, and a compass for the next generation. “It celebrates the best parts of Maryknoll and our heritage,” she says, “while outlining a set of tangible, transferable skills students will need when they leave our academic programs.”

CLASS NOTES CLASS OF 1955

PHOTOS:

Seventeen classmates and family from the Class of 1955 spent September 4 to September 9, 2019 celebrating their 64th Class Reunion at The Orleans Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

The highlight of the reunion was the home cooked Hawaiian dinner held at the home of classmate Merle Klug who lives in Las Vegas. The menu for the dinner included laulau, kalua pig, lomi salmon, chicken long rice, squid luau, beef stew, poke, poi, rice, pineapple and haupia. Fourteen invited guest and family members also joined us for the dinner.

After dinner the classmates played a game called classmate trivia where there was 30 questions about classmates (with hints such as where they lived, worked, attended school, or received graduation awards, etc.) and we had to guess the name of the classmate being described. The game took a long time to play because when a classmate was named, it brought up all kinds of memory of our school days. One such memory was that of a group of classmates sitting under a coconut tree eating their lunch and a coconut fell hitting the head of a classmate.

A second event was held at a chinese restaurant where we had dim sum and noodles for lunch. This allowed us the opportunity to continue our lively conversation about our school days.

Fidel Taparra flew in from Virginia, Tiny Bennett drove from Pasadena, CA and picked up Albert Chang in Los Angeles along the way, Donald Moniz and wife Marilyn drove from Laughlin, NV, Merle Klug lives in Las Vegas and the rest of the group came from Hawaii.

Our thanks to Skeezy Zane for being the head chef for the Hawaiian dinner and to Marilyn Moniz who provided all of the classmates with a copy of our graduation picture in front of Sacred Heart Church and a goodie bag and to Merle Klug for hosting the group dinner. Special thanks also to all the classmates who came to the 64th Reunion in Las Vegas. At our age, it is not easy to travel.

We encouraged our classmates to attend our 65th Reunion in 2020 which will be held in Honolulu in conjunction with Alumni Week in July. Planning for the various events is currently underway. Pictures from Class of 1955 Las Vegas reunion.

BRITTON KOMINE ‘00

TAKING THE MARYKNOLL SPIRIT TO NEW HEIGHTS As a student at Maryknoll, Britton “Britt” Komine ‘00 took the spirit of “Noblesse Oblige” to heart. Now as a member of the Hawaii Air National Guard, he’s putting that motto into practice, and carrying that spirit out into the community and the world. “As guardsmen, we are responsible for supporting the state in any type of contingency,” Komine says. “Hurricane relief, flooding, any natural disaster, the lava flow—we’re called to duty.”

Komine is a C-17 pilot, flying strategic cargo aircraft for disaster relief and military transport, and is also an airlift subject matter expert for the Pacific, serving in command and control. In addition to serving in Hawaii, he’s provided support for hurricane relief in Houston, Texas, and Puerto Rico, as well as earthquake relief in Nepal.

He’s also a Maryknoll parent. Daughter Lia Iaea graduated in 2018, and son Kaden Komine is a freshman. “We have a long lineage,” says the Kaneohe resident. “My dad (Howard Komine ’82) also attended Maryknoll School. ” Komine says his experience at Maryknoll helped teach him to be humble, work hard, and give back to the community.

“The creed, the values of ‘Noblesse Oblige,’ it teaches you that you can be something that’s bigger than yourself, and that no matter what you do, you can have an effect,” he says. “My service now is in the Air National Guard, and one of the core values is ‘Service Before Self.’

To me, it means the same thing, that putting the needs of the organization and people first, before yourself, is going to have a ripple effect throughout the community.”

James Morris ’85 DIRECTOR OF TECHNOLOGY

Many people don’t know this, but one of my fi rst “jobs” ever in high school was working as a work-study student for the Maryknoll Athletic Department during the summer of 2009. Now, at face-value, it doesn’t seem very exciting – organizing fi les, sorting athletic equipment, helping then athletic director Mrs. Patti Heatherly ‘66 with getting ready for the next school year. Without context, it was a very ordinary summer job.

However, this “ordinary” summer job became “extraordinary” very quickly when the keys to an amazing building were fi nally handed over to the school that summer – the newly constructed Maryknoll Community Center. I was fortunate and blessed to participate in a fi nal walkthrough of the entire building, learning and witnessing fi rst-hand what this space meant for Maryknoll School and our athletic program.

When I had a moment alone, I sat in the middle of the Clarence T.C. Ching Gymnasium in center court, now known as Sellitto Circle, and just thought about the immense possibilities having this amazing facility would allow for.

Fast forward ten years, and our Boys Varsity Basketball team was winning game-by-game in the state’s most competitive sports league. As the 2018-2019 season went on, all I could think of was sitting in center court of the gym floor, reflecting on what came to mind ten years ago. As time expired in the state championship game against Punahou, I was simply overwhelmed with emotion – elation, happiness, joy, and excitement.

While a hope and dream, it was far from a certainty that the construction of Maryknoll Community Center would result in this achievement and accomplishment for our athletic program.

This amazing accomplishment, however, was not due in part to a building, an individual, or a singular event. It was the collective result of a strong, tight-knit community coming together to advance a shared common purpose of moving Maryknoll School forward, leaving a legacy for future students to build upon.

The story of our 2018-2019 championship-winning basketball team, and our entire athletic program, runs parallel with that of our school as a whole – putting others before self, building upon the past to shape the future and selflessly serving our communities in different ways.

Dan Nagami DIRECTOR OF EXTENDED LEARNING Gail Nakamura BUSINESS OFFICER

As you read through this year’s issue of the Knoller Magazine, keep in mind those that sacrificed so much to allow Maryknoll School to be the place it is today. A place where students learn to love God and one another; a place where service and Catholic values are interwoven in lessons taught inside and outside of the classroom; and a place where students thrive in an environment that provides growth - academically, spiritually and emotionally.

Lester Oshiro FACILITIES MANAGER Benjamin Valle ’84 DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

I hope you enjoy this year’s issue of the Knoller Magazine. It’s an honor and privilege to share this publication with you all. Thank you for continuing to be a part of Maryknoll School’s story.
