Our Sustainability Academy students, Sustainable Hospitality and Tourism Management (SHTM) Teacher Lori Sanada, and Design Academy Principal Kelcie De Mello had the honor of serving as ambassadors at the Hawai‘i Tourism Conference at the Hilton Hawaiian Village on Thursday!
The Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority (HTA) conference brought together over 600 hospitality professionals, natural resource stewards, community leaders, government officials, and visionaries from across the islands.
This year’s theme, Ke Kahu o ka Mālamalama - Guardians of the Light: Honoring Our Stories, Advancing Knowledge, Inspiring a Path Forward, perfectly aligns with the HTA mission to empower student leadership and sustainable stewardship.
We are so proud of our ambassadors for representing our school and stepping up as future caretakers of our community and visitor industry! ✨
