Aloha all, I would like to introduce myself, my name is Maverick Kawamoto. I am currently the new PCNC (Parent-Community, Networking Center) at Konawaena High School. As the new PCNC, I am very excited for this new chapter in my life at Konawaena. One of my goals is to reach out to teachers, students, parents and the community to bring the spirit and excitement back to Konawaena Wildcats. As a team (ohana) let’s get parents and the community back into our school.
