Aloha e nā ʻohana o Kamehameha Hawaiʻi Kula Kiʻekiʻe,
As we move into kauwela, I want to extend my deepest mahalo to you all for a year of growth.
It has been my honor to spend time with many of you in coffee hours, our lauhala-weaving and lei-making workshops, various celebrations, meetings, and everyday moments throughout the school year. Your presence, manaʻo, and continued engagement have strengthened our kaiāulu in meaningful ways and continue to uplift our haumāna.
A piha ka mahalo for Kumu Lehua and all that he is and the tireless work he accomplished on behalf of Kamehameha Schools, our haumāna, and our lāhui. His aloha, leadership, care, and dedication have impacted countless lives and will continue to shape our lāhui for generations to come. I wish him nothing but joy, fulfillment, and abundant blessings as he continues on the next chapter of his life’s journey.
As summer begins, I hope this season brings your ʻohana opportunities for rest, joy, reflection, and meaningful time together. .
Me ke aloha pumehana,
na Keala

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
