Today, Kamehameha Schools Preschools joins our lāhui in honoring the life, aloha and enduring legacy of Queen Liliʻuokalani. Through extraordinary change and challenge, our Queen remained steadfast in her aloha for her people and her beloved Hawaiʻi. As we nurture our youngest learners, may our keiki know her story, stand strong in who they are and grow with a deep sense of aloha, kuleana and connection to ʻāina, culture and lāhui. 2025 Archive photos of our Nānākuli preschool haumāna on huaka’i in Honolulu.
