The Dying and Rising class of seniors served the community by cleaning the King Street Catholic Cemetery for its fall service project.

Religious fathers, brothers and sisters who died in the islands from 1850-1928 are buried in the cemetery, including Bishop Libert Boeynaems and Mother Judith Brassier who founded the Academy.

“It feels good to give back to the community and honor our founders who have established my education and my faith,” said senior Kahea Ah Sam.
