Mr. Takemoto goes to Washington

National Recognition for MHS Cisco Networking Academy

MHS graduate, Elayne Man and MHS Cisco Networking instructor, Kory Takemoto were selected to represent Hawaii at the Cisco Networking Academy's 10th Anniversary Celebration which will take place in Washington DC on October 2-3, 2007. The expense-paid event will honor one student and one teacher from each state who have exemplified the extraordinary impact that the Cisco Networking Academy has made "educating the architects of the networked economy" in the US over the past decade.

Elayne achieved her Cisco Networking Certification at Mililani and has pursued her studies in computer technology as a University of Hawaii Regent Scholar.

“The ‘real world’ has constantly emphasized information technology’s impact on the future and I believe that the combination of this class (CISCO Networking) and SkillsUSA has adequately prepared me for my career after high school. The Cisco class is actually industry-standard which helps me align myself to our school’s expectations and beyond.”
Elayne Man, 2002

Mililani’s Cisco networking students took 1^st and 2^nd place in this year’s SkillsUSA Internetworking competition reflecting the continuing success of Mr. Takemoto’s program.

RECENT NOTE: Mr. Takemoto has decided to forego the Washington DC trip and celebrate the honor at home with his newborn twin girls. CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN!
