Instructor & Course
Pauline SawaiAloha mai! This is my 30th year. I started at Kahuku High and Intermediate School and have been at Kapolei for the last 13 years. I enjoy learning from my students. They keep me on my toes and keep me young! Offering Early College Classes are important to offer because some students are ready for the challenge of rigor within the safety of their high school surroundings. College classes give students an idea of the expectations while working towards their career or pathway goals.
