Among the scores of new faculty that joined Kalani High School this year, Dana-Joy Hayashi doesnt see Kalani from the same viewpoint. Joining the office staff in June 2021, Hayashis role is to oversee office staff and aid administration, rather than teaching and advising students in the classroom. Her list of duties is exhaustive, ranging from secretarial tasks to fiscal management, tacked on top of administering student, staff, and school records. Nevertheless, she feels every role here is an integral part to which makes the Kalani Falcons, and looks forward to being a part of this awesome team! Photo and caption by Virgil Lin.

Welcome New SASA, Mrs. Hayashi!
