Kaniho stated in a letter that he looks forward to spending more time with his daughter and son. He'll be coaching his son's volleyball, baseball and grappling teams and is eager to be a bigger part of his children's childhood experiences.
"Guy Kaniho has done an outstanding job in his short run as Program Head of our Boys Volleyball program," said associate athletic director, Blane Gaison. "Though we are disappointed that he'll be leaving Kamehameha, we wish he and his family the utmost best as they plan on spending more quality time together as a family."
A search for a new head coach will begin immediately.
Kamehameha Schools is a private, educational, charitable trust founded and endowed by the legacy of Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop. Kamehameha Schools operates a statewide educational system enrolling more than 6,900 students of Hawaiian ancestry at K-12 campuses on O'ahu, Maui and Hawai'i and 31 preschool sites statewide. Approximately 37,500 additional Hawaiian learners are served each year through a range of other Kamehameha Schools' outreach programs, community collaborations and financial aid opportunities in Hawai'i and across the continental United States.
Kamehameha Schools’ policy is to give preference to applicants of Hawaiian ancestry to the extent permitted by law.
