DECEMBER 2006
The mission of Lahainaluna High School Foundation is “ to preserve and perpetuate Lahainaluna’ s culture and traditions, while providing the
students and staff with funds and improvement projects that will promote excellence in the educational experience at Lahainaluna. ” This holiday
season, we asked some of the LHSF board members /committee chairs to convey their task and vision in making Lahainaluna the best that it can
be for the coming years. Five articles are in this newsletter, four below and one follows on page 3.

MAKING OUR WAY TOWARD $175K
In early 2006, during Lahainaluna’s historic 175th year, a challenge seemed logical, TO RAISE $175,000 for the 175th.
Lahainaluna alumni from across the nation, young and old, joined with the West Maui community, businesses, foundations, etc. to support our school, its goals, and its vision. As soon as the year is done, the Financial Statement of the
LHS Foundation will be posted on the website. HOPEFULLY, WE WILL HAVE DONE IT!!! What an amazing and incredible
group of people love and support Lahainaluna High School, what it was, what it is, and what it will become.
MAHALO for your donations in 2006:

Andrew Kutsunai: Scholarships
Last school year, the LHSF distributed $14,450 in scholarships to 14 students and one teacher
at Lahainaluna High School. The Scholarship Committee consists of four members from the
community and the senior class counselor at Lahainaluna. The committee members are: Penny
Wakida, Lydia Saribay, Tonata Lolesio, Andrew Kutsunai and Eric Balinbin. All student applicants submit a common application form for all LHS Foundation administered scholarships and
are selected through a process based on a point system which takes into consideration future
potential and a desire to continue their education beyond high school. Applications will be
available in the counselors office at the end of January, and will also be available on the web-

site to be downloaded. This year, the Board of Directors of the LHS Foundation has approved
$5,000 for scholarships in addition to already endowed scholarships. This will bring the total
amount of scholarships to be dispersed in 2007 to nearly $20,000. Also this year, for the first
time, we have an alumnus from the Class of ‘ 52 who will fund, through an annuity, an annual
$2,000 toward scholarships. Another alumnus, also from the class of ’ 52, has funded the
teacher ’ s scholarship for the past three years. Donations of any size earmarked for scholarships, from individuals, classes, businesses and community organizations enable Lahainaluna
students and teachers to further their education. It is a very real way to make a difference.
Friends of the Library Endowment Program
The Friends of the Library Endowment Program,
with inspiration from Charlie Fox, began with
one book endowed in 2002 by Harlow Wright.
It continues to GROW. It now has 73
endowed books, an Endowment Fund of over
$37,000 and the number books and educational materials added to the library increases
annually. Each book has a bookplate with
donor and honoree noted.
A record is kept in the
library in a special place.
This is a wonderful way to
honor and remember those
who have meant so much
to us. Our goal is to reach
100 endowed books before
the end of 2007.
A display/map of the Lahainaluna High
School campus, including current and
historic sites, was installed in April 2006
in front of the Administration building
for the Lahainaluna High School
175th Celebration, and funded by the
LHS Foundation.
