"Trustee Thompson's recognition as an 'Unsung Hero of Compassion' by the Dalai Lama brings much honor and pride to Hawai'i in general and to the Hawaiian community in particular," said CEO Hamilton McCubbin. "This is a singular distinction for one of Hawaii's favorite sons. It affirms all that Nainoa and the voyaging community have accomplished, and encourages a continuing connection between the lessons of our voyaging heritage and the education of our youth as they embark on their own life journeys." Congratulations to Trustee Thompson and Polynesian Voyaging Society.
Kamehameha Schools’ policy is to give preference to applicants of Hawaiian ancestry to the extent permitted by law.
