2017 Tri-Campus Gathering

May 30, 2017

Once again the seniors from the three Kamehameha Schools campuses gathered as a combined class to honor Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop and to affirm their bonds of loyalty to their school. The Maui and Hawai‘i seniors met at historic Mauna ‘Ala for a service in front of the grave site of Princess Pauahi. The Kapālama campus seniors joined them later on campus for a brief social gathering and then the entire group traveled to Kawaiaha‘o Church for the tri-campus senior chapel service.
