County of Kauai Mayor
Derek S.K. Kawakami
Aloha, and congratulations to the graduating class of 2023!
What an amazing time in your life, where endless opportunities await and you truly are the author of your own story.
As you make your way into the world, whether you’re beginning a journey in higher education or heading into the workforce, remember that life is all about overcoming challenges and enjoying the good times. Whatever may come across your path, be confident that nothing can break your stride.
As Mayor, I attend many events involving our youth. As I continue to meet and speak with our upcoming generation, I feel a sense of hope for our island. You, graduates, are our future. I see many of you one day leading our community and finding innovative solutions that will enhance the quality of life for our people. Someone in this graduating class may just well be the next Mayor of Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau, and I can’t wait to see what the future unfolds.
On behalf of the County of Kaua‘i, I am truly proud of each and every one of you and I extend my warmest Aloha and appreciation to you and your ‘ohana.
Congratulations, Class of 2023 – you did it!
Derek S. K. Kawakami Mayor, County of Kaua‘i
Senate President Ronald D. Kouchi
It is an honor and a privilege to extend my warmest aloha and congratulations to the graduating class of 2023.
Your graduating class stands alone in its ability to adapt to unforeseen predicaments, overcome incredible obstacles, and become adept at utilizing ever evolving technologies. During the beginning of your high school career, you dealt with a worldwide pandemic and an island-wide shut down requiring distance learning and isolation from teachers, friends, and classmates. In your senior year, it was a return to in-person school attendance and as graduates, your possibilities and opportunities are limited only by your willingness to embrace the unknown and to boldly pursue your dreams and desires.
I am confident, considering all that you have endured and excelled at through these trying times, that you will be successful.
On this auspicious occasion, it is important to reflect upon the support and nurturing from you family, friends, and loved ones, and as you embark on your life’s journey, I share in your excitement and wish you the best in your future endeavors.
Kauai Complex Area Superintendent
Daniel S. Hamada
Congratulations to the Class of 2023. You have achieved an important milestone in your lives with many wonderful milestones and opportunities yet to come. Continue to strive, true to yourselves, and bold in all your endeavors. Kauai will always be home with many special memories. No matter where your future takes you, rest assured that your family, friends and community will be there for you.
Best wishes as we are truly proud of you!
