Posted: July 20, 2016
HILO – The Kamehameha Schools (KS) East Hawai‘i Resource Center has moved and is now open for business in its new location at the Hilo Ironworks Building in Hilo. The new office is located at 1266 Kamehameha Avenue, suite A5-A6. Resource Center manager Noelani Ho‘opai and coordinator Nikki Iwata can be reached at (808) 982-0851. The hours of operation for the new office are Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m.-4:15 p.m.
“Our new location provides better access for the larger community and supports KS’ strategic plan – Kūhanauna and its regional approach to improving the well-being of every Hawaiian learner,” said Kilohana Hirano, regional director for East Hawai‘i.
“This move better aligns our resources and brings our community-based efforts together under one roof, allowing for more efficient and effective service to our East Hawai‘i communities. We believe that by making this shift, we are putting the right people in the right place to do that work,” added Hirano.
The KS Resource Centers are regional centers located throughout the pae ‘āina (Hawaiian Islands) that serve as a link between the island communities and Kamehameha Schools. Established in 1975, each center serves to perpetuate the legacy of Ke Ali‘i Bernice Pauahi Bishop by helping families with the application process to KS programs, such as Admissions, Financial Aid & Scholarship Services, Ho‘oulu Hawaiian Data Center and the Exploration Series.
Kamehameha Schools’ campus admissions and Kipona scholarship application windows open Aug. 15, 2016.
