It has always been emphasized that the gift of a Punahou education is something that will affect students long after graduation. The lessons you learn and the friends you meet stay with you forever.  The annual Alumni Lū‘au proves this statement to be true.

Zoe Chock '18 summed up this special event best: "Alumni Lū‘au is a time when everyone can come together and celebrate Punahou School. To me, it's a time when friends and teachers can laugh and reminisce about their classes together or their old hangout spots or the sports they used to play. It's a night of fun, and the student servers play a huge part in making sure guests have a wonderful experience."

This past June, current Punahou Academy students from the Classes of 2017, 2018, and 2019 volunteered to serve the honored guests and alumni at the lū‘au. 

Alumni Lū‘au: Celebrating the Past, Present, and Future

Samantha Downing '18, a volunteer server at this year's event, agreed, "The interactions between alumni and current students are priceless.  So much can be learned from each other."
The Alumni Lū‘au is not just a fun night filled with good music and food: It is a time to remember the past, celebrate the present, and look toward the future while making connections between classes.  Without student volunteers, however, this special event would not be possible every year, so be sure to sign up to volunteer for Alumni Lū‘au come next June: Student volunteers truly are the fuel behind all of the food and fun!
