History
Mālama Kapālama is a grass roots group of kumu that are dedicated to the restoration of the undeveloped land of the ahupuaʻa. We are working in partnership with KS Operations, faculty, staff and various KS partnerships to collectively revitalize the waiwai of Kapālama. The work was started numerous times throughout the history of the school and we are just the stewards at this moment in time.

Vision & Mission
Vision & Mission
The Mālama Kapālama initiative is a way for us as a KS ʻOhana to reconnect with our ahupuaʻa, to physically put our hands, sweat, and aloha back into this ʻāina, to remember and honor our moʻolelo, and to restore the health and wholeness of who we are.

To reach our vision, we utilize the strengths of the ʻāina as a place of learning to weave ancestral knowledge together with Western ways of knowing.

Nadine Jacang, Christy Mishina, Tisha Louis and Noe Coelho are 1988 graduates. Committed to serving the lāhui, each has returned to teach at Kamehameha Schools. After spending some time catching up on the "good old days", their was a collective desire to restore the ahapuaʻa of Kapālama. In April of 2018, the group volunteered to spear head a Give Back Day for kumu and their ʻohana with campus as the focus. Since then, each has worked in their own educational divisions to create opportunities for students to explore and learn from the wahi of Kapālama. Their desire is nothing new to the campus, but rather, it is their time to carry the torch and "pupukahi i holomua".
