The Hawaiʻi’s Best Awards are chosen each year by the readers of the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. More than 100 categories are included in this year’s publication, which was released on June 17, 2018. This was the fourth year in a row that Leeward CC received recognition in two categories.

Being selected as Hawaiʻi’s Best is a reflection of the dedication and hard work of everyone at the college. We’re also thrilled for the finalist award for our theatre, which is currently in the final stages of renovation.”
