The Trustees and Executives of Kamehameha Schools

 
The Board of Trustees 

In accordance with the Will of Bernice Pauahi Bishop, the governance of Kamehameha Schools rests with a Board of Trustees (the Board). Composed of five individuals — equally vested with the responsibility and duty of collectively carrying out the testamentary Will of Bernice Pauahi Bishop — the sole purpose of the Board is to set policy. In accordance with Kamehameha’s organizational structure, the day-to-day management of the institution rests with a board-appointed Chief Executive Officer and his/her chosen managerial staff.

Chief Executive Officer

In August 2000, the Board of Trustees authorized a structural reorganization of Kamehameha Schools that began with institutional governance. For the first time in the Schools’ history, responsibility for the day-to-day management of Kamehameha’s education and endowment operations was placed in the hands of a Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
