As we continue celebrating National Volunteer Week, we’re grateful for the families who remain part of our community long after graduation. 💙
Today, we’re highlighting Jennifer Yang, a longtime HSG parent whose daughters, Daphnee ’21 and Remy ’24, continue to inspire her connection to the school.
“Hawai‘i School for Girls is more than a beautiful campus—it’s a place where we feel we belong. It supported my daughters’ journey and helped them grow into the best versions of themselves. It feels like home, and that’s why I continue to volunteer.”
Mahalo, Jennifer, for continuing to give back and for helping carry forward the spirit of our community! 💫
#hawaiischoolforgirls #discoverpurpose
As National Volunteer Week continues, we’re highlighting Jennifer Perez, a dedicated HSG parent volunteer. 💙✨ Jennifer shares that volunteering has allowed her to connect with other families and feel truly part of the community—while also modeling the importance of education.
“I volunteer because I believe education is a great equalizer. It is extremely important to me that my children see how seriously I value education. As they get older, those opportunities become fewer, so I try to take advantage of every chance I have to contribute.”
Mahalo, Jennifer, for all you do for our HSG community! 💫

Happy National Volunteer Week! We’re celebrating by spotlighting some of our incredible HSG volunteers. 🩵 Meet Mel Shishido, parent of graduating senior Christina.

“Volunteering has been a way for me to give back to the school and get to know my daughter’s classmates, school staff, and other families—all of whom are the heart of the HSG experience.”
Mahalo, Mel, for all that you give! 🙏
