Urging The Superintendent Of Education To Request The Board Of Education To Honor Mckinley High School's 132 Fallen Soldiers By Safeguarding And Preserving The Name Of Mckinley High School.

Impact

The resolution is meant to safeguard the school's name and uphold its historical significance, particularly in recognizing the students and alumni who served in the military. This act of remembrance underscores the importance of acknowledging local history and contributions, particularly from the so-called 'Greatest Generation', which many believe is essential for fostering pride and cultural heritage within the community.

Summary

House Resolution 64 urges the Superintendent of Education to request the Board of Education to preserve the name of McKinley High School, which has a significant historical legacy in Hawaii. Established in 1865, McKinley High School is one of the oldest secondary schools in the Hawaiian Islands. The resolution seeks to honor the 132 fallen soldiers from the school who served during World War II, emphasizing their contributions and sacrifices for the nation during a challenging time.

Contention

While the resolution serves as a tribute, it also raises questions about broader educational and memorial practices in Hawaii. The recognition of McKinley High School's legacy impacts how other schools might conceptualize their own historical narratives and local contributions to national events. There may be discussions about ensuring that the memorialization practices in education reflect inclusivity and respect for diverse backgrounds and experiences during times of conflict.
