It's been another dynamic year of achievement for Kamehameha Schools,
and Chancellor and CEO, Dr. Hamilton McCubbin had much to share in
his annual State of Kamehameha address delivered late last month.
We've posted the transcript of his speech, given on the Kamehameha
Schools Hawaii campus.
Leadership
The Pauahi Leadership Institute is a brand new program devoted to
nurturing emerging Hawaiian leaders. Teacher Pua Higa and Guy Hanohano
Naehu, who restores fishponds on the island of Molokai are two individuals
who are part of the Institute's program.
Kamehameha
Scholarships
Kamehameha Schools has more than $15 million in scholarship monies
this year for people pursuing post secondary education. The preliminary
deadline for applications is April 1. Keaau High School teacher
Jonathan Kua is a former scholarship recipient who says if you're
interested in getting an education, Kamehameha can really help!
AHA
Conference
Giving back. It's a concept embraced throughout the Kamehameha Schools
ohana and it was the centerpiece of an alumni conference on helping
others in the Hawaiian community.
Song
Contest
The relationship of Hawaiians to the aina is the focus of this year's
81st annual Kamehameha Schools Song Contest. Na Mele Pana will feature
songs about places beloved by Hawaiian people.
Birds
Hawaiians love for the land extends to all of the living creatures
in on the land and in the sea. That commitment to stewardship is the
foundation behind the Keauhou Bird Conservation Center, which is working
to re-establish endangered Hawaiian forest birds.
