Instructor & Course
John Allen (co-teacher)Aloha! Iʻm John Allen, Iʻve been teaching for the past 20 years all at Waianae High School. What I love most about teaching is the ability to work with students as they unlock their potential. Offering early college opportunities help students understand the rigors of self discipline and provides a safety net for that process.

Michael OConnor (co-teacher)Hi! I've been teaching for 26 years. I enjoy seeing the kids grow and mature from freshman to senior year. Many of our students in Waianae don't think they are smart enough to go to college, early college shows the kids that they have what it takes to go to college and be successful.
