2024 graduation ceremony incident

Minutes before the 2024 graduation ceremony at Eastlake High School a senior was instructed by staff to either remove her leis, which represented her Hawaiian culture, or not participate in the ceremony. The student chose not to participate in the ceremony. The school district later investigated the incident and agreed that the student should have been allowed to wear the leis as "traditional tribal regalia or recognized objects of cultural or religious significance".
