After graduating from high school on O’ahu in 2010, Noah Patterson Hanohano Dolim needed direction. He was an underachieving student in high school, Dolim says, and he didn’t know what to do next. That’s when he decided to move to Hilo and enroll at Hawai‘i Community College. With family on Hawai‘i Island, it seemed like a smart move, and it turns out he was right.
Hawai‘i Community College hosted commencement ceremonies May 10 and 11 as students, their loved ones, faculty, staff, administrators and honored guests celebrated the students’ academic achievements.
This year, 576 students graduated from Hawai‘i CC with a total of 766 degrees and certificates. Among the graduates were 35 students who earned a 4.0 grade point average.
