ABOUT THE TEACHER
Aloha Mai Kakou,
My name is Mr. Calvin Paleka and I teach World History and Transitions for HUI Ikaika. I was born and raised on Kaua'i and graduated from Kapa'a High School. I attended Brigham Young University-Hawaii for a year and then served a two year church mission in Japan, returned back to BYU-H and graduated with a degree in Social Science teaching and a minor in Japanese Language.
I have been a teacher at Kapa'a High School for 32 years and have taught different subjects of history, computer science and Japanese language. I also serve as the school's Assistant Athletic Director and assistant coach with our football program and Head Coach of the boys and girls varsity track and field team. I have been with the HUI's and Freshmen Academy for 15 years.
In my free time I enjoy watching movies, football, being with my family and eating. I am the biggest Dallas Cowboys and Boston Celtics fan at Kapa'a High School.
I look foward to meeting all of you and helping you become a part of our Warrior Ohana.

Course Information:
For those coming to grips with the important issues of their lives-who they are, what they want to be, the kind of contribution they can make, this course provides insights into the past that students can relate to today. Between the past and the present there is not a gulf but a continuum, and nowhere is this sense of continuity more important than in the coverage of world history. No matter what your background has been, all of us are directly influenced by the culture, language, religion, technology, and political values of Western civilization. And this course will help us learn and understand the process of learning about and joining the tradition of the past.A course syllabus will be added to Google Classroom
