Vikings unite at Special Olympics state competition

Congratulations to Hilo High School Special Olympics athletes and their unified partners who participated Nov. 21 at the Winter Games on Oahu.

The collaborative effort of general education and special needs students is made possible through Hilo High School’s Project UNIFY Program. The program’s mission is to promote awareness, acceptance and respect for all students.

Olympic athletes thank their parents, the community and especially Hilo High School students and staff for being such loyal supporters of Special Olympics and Project UNIFY.

Individuals or organizations that want more information about or to support the HHS Project UNIFY Program should contact Kenneth Kitahata or Jo Ann Nishimoto at 313-5647.
