E Ulu Koa — Standing strong for Ke Aliʻi Pauahi and Hawaiʻi

Oct. 20, 2025

Aloha nō e ka ʻohana o Kamehameha,

Today, Students for Fair Admissions filed a lawsuit targeting the admissions policy of Ke Kula ʻo Kamehameha. We are ready for this challenge. We are resolved to vigorously defend our admissions policy and will engage every legal and operational resource to protect Ke Aliʻi Pauahi’s kauoha. The facts and the law are on our side, and we are confident that we will prevail. In kapu aloha, we will stand strong together.

We mahalo all our Kamehameha ʻohana and the broader lāhui for your support. We now call on our entire Kamehameha ʻohana to join us for an ʻAha Koa. This gathering will be held at ʻIolani Palace on Tuesday, October 21, at 10:00 a.m. Please wear blue and bring your hae Hawaiʻi, posters, banners, and other expressions of aloha ʻāina.

Other ways you can help: 


Let us draw strength from our faith in Ke Akua, our ancestors, and in one another. Together, we have the collective resolve to defend Ke Aliʻi Pauahi, her kauoha and Hawaiʻi. E ola koa, e ola ke ea!

Me ke aloha a me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo,
