By Lydia Halcomb ('25) and Abbie Kato ('25) This past spring break, 23 HBA high school students headed to Spain to expand their learning on the Spanish language and culture, and on art and architecture in Europe. Their itinerary took them to Granada, Sevilla, Toledo, and Madrid, where they experienced local activities, including taking a …

On March 18, 51 freshmen and 8th graders embarked on a trip to the East Coast to expand their knowledge on American history and government.

Their journey began with a flight to the nation’s capital, Washington D.C., where they …

This past fall break, 19 HBA students from the high school Japanese language program took a trip to Japan. In contrast to previous years when the study tour took students to central cities like Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima, and Tokyo, this tour headed north to Hokkaido.

I looked out the clean, rental car window for the hundredth time, and for the hundredth time all I saw were tall trees, grey skies, and a long road in front of us. For an impatient eleven-year old, a half-day car ride from Seattle to Vancouver, Canada felt like years. My family and I had …

Disneyland holds a special place in my family's heart so I have visited Disneyland (in Anaheim, California) more than eight times. It's hard not to feel happy in Disneyland, when there are cast members everywhere I go, constantly smiling and complimenting on my hair, makeup, or the clothes I am wearing. I also find the music …

The man who was the rock and strength of my family, and always sweet in the most unusual ways was my Grandpa, Norman Inouye. Grandpa fought cancer for more than a year around 2012.
