RE: H.C.R. No. 7

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2022

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Education, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 7 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE HILO HIGH SCHOOL SCHOOL COMMUNITY COUNCIL TO RECOMMEND THAT HILO HIGH SCHOOL GYM BE NAMED AFTER ALBERT AND LAWRENCE MANLIGUIS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to urge the Hilo High School School Community Council to recommend that Hilo High School Gym be named after Albert and Lawrence Manliguis.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from numerous individuals.

Your Committee finds that for over five decades, Albert and Lawrence Manliguis, have been synonymous with high school athletic and academic excellence, as well as achievement in basketball, particularly at Hilo High School where both brothers served as head coaches. Your Committee further finds that Albert and Lawrence Manliguis, together, coached forty-eight consecutive seasons at Hilo High School, where they led the Hilo High School Vikings to three state championships during that time, with two state championships coached by Lawrence Manliguis and one state championship coached by Albert Manliguis. Your Committee believes that it would be fitting to name Hilo High School Gym after Albert and Lawrence Manliguis to honor their longstanding commitment and success to athletic and academic excellence at Hilo High School.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 7 and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Education,
