We take this special day to come together as a kula to celebrate the birth of our Founder, Ke Aliʻi Bernice Pauahi Bishop. Our Founder's Day ceremony in Koaiʻa Gymnasium is invitation-only, tickets required for in-person attendance due to capacity restrictions in Koaiʻa Gymnasium. However, a live-stream link is provided for ʻohana, alumni, and community members who would like to watch the ceremony on the Kamehameha Schools YouTube channel.
Founder's Day is also an early release day for students in grades K-12.
An evening celebration hosted by the Kamehameha Schools Alumni Association - East Hawaii Region will also take place at 6 p.m. in Lunalilo Hale, which is open to our entire community. Visit https://www.instagram.com/ksaahawaii/ for more information.
Kamehameha Schools’ policy is to give preference to applicants of Hawaiian ancestry to the extent permitted by law.
