About the Hawaii High School Hall of Honor
The Hawai‘i High School Hall of Honor was established in 1982 by Nissan Motor Corp. in Hawaii, Ltd., to recognize athletic excellence and achievements of Hawai‘i’s high school athletes.Twelve student-athletes are selected annually for induction into the Hall of Honor by an independent selection committee. Along with the induction into
the Hall of Honor, each student-athlete receives a $2,000 Enterprise Rent-A-Car college scholarship, which may be used to offset college education expenses (tuition, books, and room and board).
In Fall 2004, Nissan Hawaii turned the prestigious high school scholarship program over to the Hawai‘i High School Athletic Association to maintain the 22-year-old tradition.
