Arts Center Still Open

MAC News Release

What Happened to the MHS Farm?

Wednesday, October 21st, 2020

Those of us who are grads, who were in this great program in the 50s and 60s, and who have since moved or passed away do not know what really brought about the end of Molokai High Ag Program. So we do not really know who, how or what budgets got cut, but the abandonment of the Ag Program was short sighted and a great loss for the Island.…
