Our high school students live in Honolulu, HI, and they love music. They are passionate about music and music-making. Music is what keeps them motivated to come to school. They excel in music, despite our school being situated in the midst of five federal housing projects.
Most of our students come from homes of highest poverty.
Our school has a 70% highly disadvantaged rate.
Beautiful music comes out of our orchestra room. Our students play with great passion. Music is what they excel at. Our students would never have been able to play in an orchestra were it not for the school orchestra program.
My Project
Our resilient orchestra students need rosin to put onto their bows so that their instruments can produce the proper sound. Without rosin, the instrument bows will not produce a sound on the strings of the violin, viola, cello, or double bass. We usually have one class rosin that everyone shares, however, with the current pandemic, it is beneficial for each student to have their own rosin to use while in class and practicing at home. Students will learn more when their instruments can produce a sound. Rosin will help them to reach their fullest potentials. Mahalo!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
