A Midkiff Learning Center gallery exhibit depicts the impact of WWII on the Kamehameha Schools and commemorates the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

The high school had a rigorous Army ROTC program that provided military training to the male students.

Senior Laakea Bertulfo and Yasuke Ozawa from Japan’s Shimada High School toured the exhibit on December 6. More than 180 Japanese students accompanied KS students to their classes to experience a day in the life of Kamehameha Schools.

Old photographs and historic items from the school archives collection are on display.

Students in the Archives class designed, created art elements and installed the exhibit.

KS students were recognized for helping to raise funds for the US war effort by buying war stamps or bonds.
