Kamehameha Schools Hawaiʻi Kula Kiʻekiʻe ʻOhana Presence
Aloha e nā ʻohana o Kamehameha Hawaiʻi Kula Kiʻekiʻe,
Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! I hope your ʻohana enjoyed a restful, joyful, and rejuvenating summer filled with opportunities to reconnect and create meaningful memories together.
As we begin this new year, I want to extend a warm welcome to both our returning and new ʻohana. I look forward to continuing to build meaningful relationships with each of you through coffee hours, workshops, celebrations, volunteer opportunities, and the many moments that bring our kaiāulu together. Your manaʻo, presence, and partnership are essential to the success and well-being of our haumāna, and I am grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside you in this shared kuleana.
This school year also marks an exciting new chapter for Kamehameha Hawaiʻi Kula Kiʻekiʻe as we welcome our new Poʻo Kumu. I look forward to supporting the continued growth of our kula and working together to strengthen the connections between home, school, and our wider kaiāulu.
Whether you're joining us for the first time or returning for another year, know that my door is always open. Please don't hesitate to reach out, share your manaʻo, or connect with me. I look forward to getting to know you and partnering with your ʻohana throughout the year.
Here's to a wonderful year of learning, growth, connection, and celebration!
Me ke aloha pumehana,
Keala Campbell

At Kamehameha Schools Hawaiʻi Kula Kiʻekiʻe, our ʻOhana Presence approach is a comprehensive, five-prong program designed to engage families in meaningful and impactful ways. This program focuses on:
Understanding the shared responsibility of education
Recognizing how your engagement directly influences student success
Providing you with the knowledge and resources to support your student’s educational journey
Creating opportunities for families to actively participate in school activities
Celebrating and recognizing your student's accomplishments
We remain reflective of the work that we have done – working tirelessly but with intention and purpose upon the foundation of our people and our land. We work towards holding firm the importance of mo’okūʻauhau (genealogy), mō’aukala (history), ‘āina (land), ‘ōlelo (language), ‘ike kupuna (ancestral intelligence) and ‘ike hana (practices). We set our stance in both traditional and contemporary knowledge so our children, our people will be able to traverse upon their individual journeys through the on-going uncertainty of what awaits them. Mahalo to all of our ‘ohana for your strength and fortitude, pono and aloha… for your keiki and our school.
Aloha
Na’u ihola, na Kumu Lehua
