Our hearts and hands will serve you true

Long may thy name be praised

A brief history of UHS

(including some graduates' memories)

This alumni home page, first posted Friday, 3/21/97, has grown to a 1300+ extended family listing. If you would like to join us, please email me, Lanning Lee, with your name (including last name before marriage if changed), the year you graduated, and what info to list you by.
Alas, our fifth guestbook is now no more. What is up with guestbooks crashing and disappearing? This is one of the great mysteries of the internet. For the time being, we will have no guestbook : (

But before the list of graduates by year, here are some items of special interest to alumni, family, and friends of University High School:

WHAT'S UP

Mahalo nui loa to everyone who has contributed to the ULSAA fire fund. Please click here to confirm that your donation has been received and to see the most current list of purchases made so far using ULSAA fire fund donations. (Last purchase 04/09)

Kokua in Kind: You can help ULSAA by donating your car to the cause:

I donated my car to ULSAA in 2007 through Kokua in Kind on Paiea St, out by the airport. This is actually the fourth car in a row my family has donated there. It's a very easy process. Happily, this brought in over $2000 for our alumni association endowment fund. Yes, I could have made more had I sold the car myself, and I certainly could have traded it in against a new car. But I wanted to do it this way. And it was nice to get the tax deduction. If you ever decide you want to donate your car (or your truck, motorcycle, moped, sailboat, or jet ski, believe it or not) to ULSAA, just designate the University Lab School Alumni Association. Here's a link to the Kokua in Kind home page:

Band Director Ira Wong has put up more than 40 videos of Lab School Band performances on YouTube, and he's going to upload more and more and more : ) You can check them out at this link:

If you would like to come back and talk to current Lab School students about the "real world" of college and work, contact Bill Teter by email, or call him at 808.956.4925. This is not a "career day" format talk. This is more like, "Hey, I've been through what you're going through right here at the Lab School, and here's what it's been like since I graduated."
Back when I did college and career counseling, many alumni including Heidi Rian ('66), Gabe Garduque ('71), Gerald Lau ('72), John Shigemura ('72), Nate Fujita ('73), Leighton Wong ('73), Carolyn Kaichi ('74), Ray DeVilla ('85), Maia Forman ('85), Ken Tano ('85), and Cathy Wall ('86) took the time to come and talk to UHS students. The impact is enormous; you can greatly uncloud their thoughts and help them understand much more clearly what college and work are all about. There is nothing better than people who have lived the University High experience talking to students who are living it right now. The students listen very closely to UHS grads because grads have that extra credibility of having escaped from, er, I mean, uh, come from the same "family" : ) These students are a step away from breaking out, so you don't have to sugar-coat anything either. Feel free to tell them all about the good, the bad, the ugly, and the beautiful. They need to hear all of that. Please get in touch with Bill if you can give some of your time back to the family.

A date in parentheses (xx/xx) at the end of an entry indicates how recently the info was updated. If there is no date at the end of the entry, the info might still be excellent. It just means there is no recent contact info change. I wish I could guarantee that all contact info is current, but I can't. People do move, or take new jobs, or switch email addresses, I've found.
