The 41st Annual Salute to the Graduates

Pacific Media Group presents the 41st Annual Salute to the Graduates presented by HFS Federal Credit Union.  We are proud to continue a 41-year tradition of honoring exceptional students across our Big Island Schools through the Salute to the Graduates program. These outstanding students are selected by their school advisors and teachers in categories including Arts, Athletics, Information Technology, Leadership, and Scholastics.

Their remarkable achievements will be showcased in special on-air vignettes throughout the month of May on Pacific Media Group’s stations KBIG-FM 97.9 Hilo & 106.1 Kona, The Beat 95.9 Hilo & 93.9 Kona, and KAPA-FM 100.3 Hilo & 99.1 Kona as well as on the station websites and Big Island Now.
