A.L.O.H.A. ~ Aloha
Motto: "Maukaukau Kakou" - "We are Prepared" School Song: "Hilo March"
: A small school focused on secondary education with specifics in Hawaiian arts and culture, both modern and ancient. The school, started by a retired U.S. Navy Admiral, is located outside the town of Ogimi, Okinawa, however they have no Sensha-do team, but has been hosting the annual "A.L.O.H.A. Week Festival" in the area since the schools opening in 1959. The event is open to the public and all schools. The Sensha-do Federation also permits small scale competition in the form of "practice matches" to be allowed at the festival. This has turned into the annual "Summer Skirmish", a popular event for the Sensha-do clubs and local community. The skirmish has also gained an underground reputation, where competing schools hold high wager bets, unknown to Federation officials. It has become a tradition for all nearby towns and villages, from the festival, to the skirmish, to the betting...it's just some good fun all around!
