Junior Kaycee Selga and sophomore Pakalana Kam are the Academy’s representatives for the Interscholastic League of Honolulu’s (ILH) new Student Advisory Committee (SAC).

The formation of the SAC  gives students a voice about issues regarding athletics in the school community and the state.

The SAC consists of two representatives from 22 schools in the ILH. The committee convenes multiple times during the first year with the first meeting on Feb. 15.

“Our goal is to develop our leadership so that we can take these skills back to our school and share our learning experiences to make our school, league and community a better place,” said Kam.

Selga was one of the few Academy applicants for the SAC.

“I am really excited to start working and be a member of the SAC committee. I am able to lead my school and create more opportunities for athletes around the island. Not only do I get to help and take part in this, but I can also learn new ways to handle time management, create new events and ways to organize them, and meet new people from private schools around the state,” said Selga.

Kam participates in volleyball, basketball, and track and field for the Academy and has previously played softball.

Selga participates in sporter and precision air riflery, soccer, and track and field. She also paddles during the summer outside of school.

Kam said, “I am very honored and excited to serve on this committee to represent my school as best as I possibly can. I am also enthusiastic and hopeful that we can make a difference in the ILH and push it in a positive direction.”
