On March 14, 2025, Kamehameha Schools Kapālama (KSK) will hold its 105th Song Contest, celebrating mele composed and inspired by the spirit and essence of Hawaiian hospitality. The theme “E Kipa, E Nanea, E Ho‘olaukanaka” reminds us that whether formal or informal, hoʻokipa is fundamental to who we are, and how we are as kānaka Hawai‘i. In our Hawaiian culture, how we greet, host and make others feel welcome is a vital part to our kānaka way of life.
Kamehameha Schools’ policy is to give preference to applicants of Hawaiian ancestry to the extent permitted by law.
