The 6th graders recently went on simulated space missions at the Challenger Center at Barber's Point Elementary school. The purpose of each mission was to rendezvous with Comet Halley and build a probe to gather information. The students prepared for their missions through problem-solving activities that required skills in communication, data collection and analysis, robot building and physics.
Students took on the responsibilities of chosen roles on their mission teams such as Life Support, Navigation and Medical, and solved challenges such as radioactive meteoroids, low oxygen supplies and a damaged solar array en route to their rendezvous with the comet.

In a championship final that will be long remembered, our girls varsity basketball team defeated ILH rival Kamehameha, 52-49, on Saturday night at the Stan Sheriff Center to earn our school's fifth HHSAA state title in girls basketball and first since 1996.
With 6:20 remaining in the fourth quarter, our Raiders were down, 39-33. But they battled back, hitting a pair of crucial three-pointers and sinking their foul shots down the stretch. Kamehameha, too, fought gallantly and was a split second away from sending the game into overtime with a three-pointer at the buzzer.
Taylor Wu '19 was selected as the tournament's Most Outstanding Player and Lily Lefotu-Wahinekapu '21 was named to the All-Tournament Team.

Our 'Iolani team, pictured here with Theresa Kong Kee, Investor Education Specialist with the Office of the Securities Commissioner, were Loui Ikei '21, Scott Okagawa '19, Josh Park '21, Jayson Guo '21, and Noah Taniguchi '20.

The 'Iolani team got off to a 20 point lead and held it through the end of the match. They go on to represent Hawaii at the National Championships in Orlando, Florida in April.
