What a beautiful way to ring in the holiday season with the annual Christmas Concert performance from our KSK performing arts students. From classic carols to jazzy jingle bells, the music and dance ushered in the joyous holiday season. The talent of our haumana and the guidance and teaching of our kumu were bright lights in our island Christmas sky! How do you and your ʻohana welcome the holiday season?
Congratulations to Taimane Purcell and Malakai Lee who signed this morning with Cal and Michigan respectively. Ke Aliʻi Bernice Pauahi Bishop founded the Kamehameha Schools to perpetuate the legacy of her grandfather Kamehameha ekahi who was known for his great physical strength, strategic mind, and aloha for his people. These ideals of ʻōiwi leadership now rest with Taimane and Malakai as they pursue their college football career!
KS Kapālama Middle school students were thrilled to welcome Nike N7 Founder Sam McCraken as keynote speaker for their Lā Kūʻokoʻa celebration. The N7 line, designed by and celebrating indigenous cultures, resonated deeply with our students.

Kamehameha Athletics is also excited to announce a partnership with N7 which will feature the logo on KS athletic uniforms!
Aloha e nā ʻohana, Papa ʻEkahi, in collaboration with Kumu Jo, created a beautiful Christmas wreath in honor of Princess Pauahi. Each haumāna crafted a rose, which was placed around Pauahi at the center of the wreath. Hoʻomaikaʻi to our haumāna for their hard work and creativity! We’re thrilled to announce that our wreath won 2nd place in the keiki division! You can view our wreath at the Honolulu City Lights celebration, located in the Lane Gallery at Honolulu Hale. Wreaths will be on display from Nov. 29 through Dec. 31, 2025. Check it out! Mahalo for your support! For more information: https://www.honolulucitylights.org/ Ola Pauahi! Ola Hawaiʻi!
