That’s a wrap on Summer Bridge 2026 Session #1! The week-long festivities concluded with a dynamic focus on our Design Academy, specifically highlighting the Digital Design and Film & Media Production program of studies.
Here’s a look at how we finished strong:
Creativity in Action: Students channeled their creativity into crafting personalized pencil pouches featuring original artwork by our Digital Design peers, then stepped behind the lens to direct and shoot each other at the photo booth!
The Ultimate Scavenger Hunt: Students put their campus knowledge to the test in a high-energy race! Working in teams, they cracked riddles and navigated the campus to locate critical buildings and resources they’ll need this year.
Alumni Inspiration: Students learned about Maui High alumni Rachel Kondo (Producer, Shōgun) and Destin Daniel Cretton (Director, Spider-Man: Brand New Day). Both are Award of Excellence inductees who serve as incredible examples of where dedication can lead!
Summer Bridge beautifully concluded with a celebration of student engagement. Students with perfect attendance were officially honored as Summer Bridge Completers, taking home an exclusive t-shirt and a special commemorative Patsy Mink quarter!
We hope this enriching week has fueled our students’ confidence and excitement for the upcoming school year!
Mahalo to Ms. Fukuroku, Ms. Boone, our dedicated teachers, workforce interns, and special guests for creating such a memorable experience.
