Praise from our monitors- In what was the first visit by a U.S. Secretary of Education to Hawaii in nearly 20 years,
Secretary Arne Duncan toured two schools and touted Hawaii’s progress. “The only way you get better is to challenge the status quo. The only way to accelerate the rate of change is to do something different. The progress has been extraordinary. Hawaii, by any objective measure, is one of the fastest improving states in the nation.”
