Freshmen Orientation July 30, 2012 - After a long, relaxing summer, the young Freshmen were finally able to release their nervous butterflies and attend their first day of High School.  On this day they were enthusiastically greeted by the S.A. and Executive Councils of each grade level.  They were provided a campus tour that covered A5, RTI testing, and the gym. This day was a great way for the Freshmen to get used to the new campus, meet their exec council, and bond together with their classmates.

Teacher Help Day July 24, 2012 - On this bright and early morning from 8 am to 12 pm, 20 students from each grade level were asked to volunteer their time to help the teachers of Aiea High School prepare for the upcoming school year. Some of these activities included sweeping, dusting, moving things around, setting up bulletins, and decorating. After 4 hours of constant hard work, the volunteers were awarded with cold drinks, chili dogs, and chips for lunch. Thank you to all who participated! Your help was greatly appreciated!!!

Student Leadership Conference July 19 - 21, 2012 - Selected leaders from around the state of Hawaii were given the opportunity to attend this years Student Leadership Conference (SLC) at UH Manoa for 3 days and 2 nights. They were able to dorm in Frear Hall, and partake in various activities and leadership conferences facilitated by businesses at Kaimuki High School. Here they were able to learn valuable leadership skills such as communication, time management, public speaking, college options, and problem solving techniques, and also learn of ice breakers and activities that could be implemented at their schools. Although it was very tiring, everyone was able to enjoy themselves, make new friends, and create lasting memories. Remember leaders: TO BE ENTHUSIASTIC YOU MUST ACT ENTHUSIASTIC!!!!!!

RTI Testing and ID Picture Taking July 16 - 18, 2012 -       Shortly before the new school year began, each grade level was assigned a day from 8 am - 1 pm where they were presented with the opportunity to come to school to take their STAR RTI tests and pick up their schedules. The seniors came on July 16th, the juniors on July 17th, and the sophomores on July 18th. Testing took place in the library or in J3, and would evaluate their comprehensive reading, grammar, and math skills. Students were allowed 1 - 2 hours to finish their tests. After completion, the students were then allowed to go down to the cafe to pick up their schedules. Many people came to this event, but those who did not or were unable to attend would have a chance on the first day of school to make up what they missed.

Leadership Camp May 30 - 31, 2012 : The great leaders of Aiea met at the beginning of the 2012 summer in preparation for a spectacular new school year. Council members from each grade level came to participate in the establishing of important school year events.
