Our community is blessed to be a center of Hawaiian education, which means you have many choices. We are humbled and grateful every time an ʻohana chooses Kamehameha Hawaiʻi for their keiki’s educational journey. Our students distinguish themselves through a very rigorous process and the collection of these many talents and moʻokūʻauhau enriches our school significantly. At Kamehameha Hawaiʻi, haumāna co-create a vision for their future. Our graduates go on to top tier universities both here locally in Hawai’i and across the continent. We are here to support each student’s pathway in finding their unique purpose and kuleana in service to our lāhui.
