Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center - An Inspirational Organization

Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center - An Inspirational Organization

The Pacific Buddhist Academy is pleased to recognize Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center (WCCHC) as an inspirational organization working in our community. The October 21st “Lighting Our Way” event acknowledges individuals and organizations that are lighting our way in the community and exemplify the leadership values taught at the Pacific Buddhist Academy High School.

One vital aspect of the experience is the student interaction with each of the honorees. Starting in 2010, under the direction of Mr. Josh Hernandez Morse, Assistant Head of School, senior students work as teams to interview the honorees. The students create lines of questioning, meet the honorees for the dialogue and then transcribe the interviews that become the raw materials of actual event program.
