Transforming Windward CC into a vibrant college scene, the Senior Bash was a spectacular convergence of over 350 high school seniors from across the Windward area.

Kamakau, Kahuku, Ke Kula Kaiapuni ‘o Ānuenue, Kailua, Kalāheo, Hālau Kū Mana, and Olomana embarked on a day filled with discovery. From engaging talks by WCC alum @punkyaloha , to immersive workshops, unique program showcases, and campus tours, every moment was a step towards the future. Capping off the day was an electrifying reggae concert by @thevitals808. Mahalo to our sponsors, schools, and every bright young mind that joined us for this unforgettable journey! 🎓⛰️✨
