Thousands of Hawaiʻi high school graduates head out of state every year for an education and and an opportunity beyond school. Many do not come back. The reasons are varied but they include issues that have been talked about for decades including the lack of affordable housing and the high cost of living compared to other communities on the mainland. It's a stressful decision too many of our state’s best and brightest have to make.
