What an honor! Honor Choir that is! Sacred Hearts Academy's Rochelle Narciso, daughter of Academy Housekeeper, Josephine "Josie" Narciso, was selected to participate in the ACDA's Honor Choir.
Last October Rochelle sent in an audition tape that included her singing a scale going up & down along with a song of choice that song that showcased her vocal talents. After competing among 1000+ children from the entire U.S. for a coveted spot in the Honor Choir, Rochelle was selected!
We wish her safe travels as she head to Kansas City to rehearse with her fellow honor choir members.

Following the theme “Stronger Together,” the seniors focused on the special members of their immediate and extended “family’ during the festive Senior ‘Ohana Luncheon on February 10 at the Pomaika’i Ballrooms.
The memorable Luncheon included Olivia Bruce’s violin rendition of “Orange Blossom Special” and performances showcasing the talents of seniors and members of their families.
Xavier Downey-Silva shared about her challenging transition to the Academy’s environment as a freshman, and how receiving a low grade from Gaylen Isaacs was a pivotal point that changed the trajectory of her life and set her on a path towards success.
Eden Arthur honored Betty White during her speech, sharing tidbits of life “behind-the scenes,” having traveled with the school’s soon to-retire leader to China in the fall.
The Luncheon kicks-off the festivities leading to graduation, and the talented seniors proudly debuted their touching class song, “Change the World” before the event concluded.
