"Ronnie's long history with the elementary school 'ohana will allow a seamless transition as Dr. Holoua Stender leaves for the Hawai'i campus as their next Po'o Kula," said Dr. Michael Chun, President and Head of School for Kamehameha School Kapālama. "We are comforted knowing we will be in good hands under Ronnie's leadership. Please help me congratulate Ronnie on her new role. We are confident she is the full package; character, competence and chemistry."

The year 2012 marks the 125th anniversary of the opening of Kamehameha Schools, which today operates a statewide educational system enrolling over 6,900 students of Hawaiian ancestry at K-12 campuses on O'ahu, Maui and Hawai'i and 31 preschool sites statewide.
