Celebrate Your Miramonte Grad with a Beautiful Hawaiian Lei!

Graduation is almost here, and what better way to celebrate your grad than with a beautiful Hawaiian lei? Whether it’s for your graduate, their best friends, or a favorite teacher, a fresh lei is the perfect way to spread love and appreciation on this special day!

Choose from three beautiful options:

Fresh from Hawaii! They are flown in just before graduation and handed out to graduates as they line up for their ceremony.

For Miramonte families: order here.

For non-Miramonte families & friends: order here, Non-MHS family/friends will be prompted to create an account to checkout.

ORDER DEADLINE: MAY 3rd – Order now!

Don't forget--make sure your grad knows who their lei is from and bring a little ALOHA to their big day!
