Join us for a look back at Alumni Reunion 2024 and enjoy sights and sounds from a memorable week full of celebrations, gatherings and aloha. We’re reminded that our experiences as students and KS Alumni are all possible because of our Founder Ke Ali‘i Bernice Pauahi Bishop. He Koa Mau A Mau: Forever a Warrior!
Apple TV+’s “Chief of War” brings Hawaiian history and ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi to global audiences, told by a Polynesian cast and rooted in the legacy of Kamehameha.
A search is being conducted to fill the Kamehameha Schools trustee position previously held by Robert K.W.H. Nobriga, whose term expired on June 30, 2025.
The Kamehameha Schools alumni ‘ohana is made up of more than 28,000 Warriors worldwide representing a hui of Hawaiian learners who have been uplifted by Pauahi’s legacy of giving.
With guidance from the Office of Advancement and in collaboration with KS’ three campuses, alumni association, class representatives and other community partners, the Alumni Relations Office offers a rich set of programs and events to help alumni stay connected and engaged with their alma mater and each other.
Our goal is to strengthen our alumni ‘ohana and give them opportunities to serve their communities with their time, talent, and treasure.
