With so many choices, deciding on the best school for a child can be a daunting task for any family. Kamehameha Schools campuses are seeking out and developing ʻōiwi leaders for tomorrow. Kamehameha Schools is sharing stories about its campuses, and partnering with ʻohana to help their keiki become the best ʻōiwi leader they can be for the lāhui and beyond.

Here is just a glimpse into the lives of haumāna on each of our three campuses that we’ve been sharing via Facebook this month.
