With nearly 200 people in attendance, KS CEO Jack Wong spoke on the importance of the program. Along with Wong, KS was also represented by Kuamahi Community Education Managing Director Waiʻaleʻale Sarsona, Director of Kealakūlia Kēhaulani Puʻu, Director of Career and Post-High Counseling Carrie Larger and Director of Hawaiian Culture-Based Education Kaimana Barcarse.
