Parents Night

We can honestly say, another successful Parents Night under our belt. August 27, 2008 the Kahuku JROTC held their Annual Parents Night in the Kahuku Cafeteria. We had a top notch presentation by the JROTC Color Guard which consisted of all first year cadets. The "I'm a Cadet" Presentation also consisted of first year cadets and they did an excellent job. Throughout the entire program, we had Uniform Demonstrations, Promotions and acknowledged all the cadets for their outstanding efforts. A Special Thank You to all the cadets, parents and Kahuku Staff.

Funaki is a fourth-year junior. After leading Kahuku High to consecutive state championships, he committed to the Warriors. But the start of his UH career was delayed when he went on a two-year church mission. He redshirted in 2005, then served as the No. 3 quarterback the next two seasons.
