Konawaena High Mission Statement
​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.
"It’s amazing what can be achieved when we work together moving in the same direction". Sope.A

KONAWAENA TO RETIRE #28

On Sept. 28, 1928, a local radio broadcast stated that the Konawaena High School football team, wearing old UH uniforms, “played like WILDCATS”. Afterward, the team changed its name and color scheme, going from the blue and white Knights to the green and white Wildcats.

To honor that legacy, the school has decided to retire the number 28 and give that number to all of the loyal Wildcat fans who support the student athletes in various sports, similar to the way the Seattle Seahawks give their fans the No. 12.
