COVID-19 resources
In alignment with current state regulations, Kamehameha Schools (KS) has relaxed the COVID-19 safeguards and procedures governing our worksites and facilities. We look forward to welcoming our employees and visitors back for in-person engagements, and while KS does not require social distancing, please note that masks are still required to be worn in public indoor spaces at all times.
As an employer, KS requires all staff to be fully vaccinated unless approved for a medical or religious exemption from vaccination, regardless of work status (in-person, hybrid or remote).
