2020 was a strange year for everyone. Out of great adversity and many hours holed up in our classrooms was born the idea to relaunch The Waialuan as a place to showcase the creative talents of our staff and students. The Waialuan previously existed for many years at WHIS as a journalistic endeavor, providing the latest school news and events. We applaud those past students who kept those pages filled and spent tireless hours bringing those stories to life. However, just as the world has gone through change and reinvention, we felt there was no better time to also reinvent The Waialuan. As a mixed media literary arts magazine, The Waialuan now aims to celebrate the breadth of talent that inspires us every day. The students and staff that wander our hallways and fill our classrooms are the beating heart of our school and community. From art, to photography, to writing, we hope to encompass the entirety of what makes our school special, and with each quarterly issue, we also hope you are equally as impressed by the incredible talent here at WHIS.
