Mid-Pacific Institute reopens with record enrollment

Mid-Pacific Institute in Honolulu, Hawaii, reopened classes on Wednesday (Aug. 10) with its biggest enrollment in a century and a half. Student sign wavers and MPI president Joe Rice were at the main gate as cars delivered 1,554 students in pre-kindergarten to grade 12.
Rice officiated as the entire student body jammed into the gymnasium to hear "welcome back" remarks and participate in festivities that included an African drum performance by the elementary, middle school and high school faculty members. Students finished with the singing of their alma mater.
Kawaiahaʻo Seminary for Girls, the first of three schools that would merge into MPI, opened in 1864. Mills Institute for Boys came together with the girls' school in 1908 and Epiphany School joined the school in 2004.
