Aloha Radford High School,

We have had an engaging and exciting first quarter of school and are underway into the 2nd quarter! Our students have done an outstanding job thus far in modeling our school motto of Discipline, Respect, and Responsibility. The climate of the campus has been positive and we have had a tremendous amount of support from our parents and community members. I would like to thank all of you for your continued support of our school and students.

We have seen a tremendous amount of growth in our students and have also seen our teachers and staff, participate in several professional development activities that encouraged dialogue and growth. Teachers and students alike were part of our first annual “Radford Complex Tech Summit” held on our campus to open the 2nd Quarter. This Tech Summit encompassed all of our nine complex schools that focused in on digital learning.

As a school we will continue to implement and provide a viable curriculum and the best oppor-tunities for our students to development academically, physically, socially and emotionally.

I look forward to having another successful quarter of school. I encourage all of our families to look for opportunities to become actively involved at Radford High School.

Respectfully,

James L. Sunday

Principal

SENIOR LEADERSHIP

RRADFORDADFORD AANNOUNCEMENTSNNOUNCEMENTS

Dear Parents/Guardians

On Monday, October 17th, Radford High School hosted a Technology Summit for

the Radford Complex schools to share with our teachers how technology can be

used to improve student learning. Students from the senior leadership class

volunteered their time to host presenters. We directed them to their assigned

locations, assisted the presenters in setting up the classroom, and cleaned up

after the presentation.

Our second blood drive will take place on November 30th. Forms to be able to

donate will be available in room 172. If you have any questions or concerns,

you can go to room 172. Please remember that every pint of blood saves 3 lives

so we encourage you to donate.

Currently the senior leadership is planning for future events for the senior class.

In January, we will be having our Senior Luau at the Polynesian Cultural Center.

Additional information will be provided to students through Advisory classes.

Mahalo from Senior Leadership!

JUNIOR LEADERSHIP

The Junior leadership class of 2018 is a class filled with students who are com-

mitted to being a leader for our school and for our Junior class. So far we have

come up with ideas on how we can help our class of 2018 have more pride in our

school leaving a legacy and making this Junior year a great and memorable year.

On the second Friday of every month we visit room 114 and do activities that are

meaningful with the students. The activities usually depend on the current season

or the holiday that is coming up. We enjoy seeing and bonding with them, they are

always happy and excited when we’re there. We cherish every second we have

with them and hope to make an impact on their life.

We will also be going to Makalapa every Friday to help the teachers with paper-

work and help tutor the 1st and 2nd graders, on the subjects of Math, Reading or

Writing.

HOSA club informationHOSA club informationHOSA club informationHOSA club information

This year, Radford High School became an official affiliate with HOSA - Future Health Profes-

sionals, a national student association for those interested in the health field. 52 students, in

grades 9-12, have joined the association. As a member of HOSA, students learn to develop ef-

fective leadership qualities and skills, create friendships and social networks, as well as

strengthen academic and workplace readiness skills and participate in community service ac-

tivities.

For their first community service project, RHS HOSA members collected over $600.00 in sup-

port of HOSA-Hawaii's partner, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). NAMI is a na-

tionwide grassroots advocacy group, representing families and people affected by mental dis-

orders in the United States. In addition, on Saturday, October 8, 2016, 18 RHS HOSA members

and two advisors participated in NAMIWalks 2016, a 5k benefit walk in downtown Honolulu.

ATTENTION PARENTS/GUARDIANS

Parents, please refrain from texting or calling your

child during instructional time. If you need to reach

your child please call the office at 421-4200.

Radford’s cell phone policy is that your student/child

may use them before the first bell of the day and

after the last bell of the day. Thank you for your

cooperation in this matter.

Please remind your child/student once they park and leave their car in the

morning, they may NOT access it, or the student parking lot until the last bell

of the day.

An exception would be if the student drove themselves to school and needs to

leave for an appointment, in which case they first need to check out with the

front office.

Mahalo for your assistance and consideration in this campus safety matter.
