2015 KP Service Awards Celebration

July 2, 2015

Kamehameha Schools service award honorees based at Kawaiahaʻo Plaza (KS’ Honolulu headquarters) recently commemorated their milestone years at Mauna ʻAla, the final resting place of the princess.

After the ceremony, the honorees joined the rest of the KP employee ʻohana for a luncheon at KS’ Kaʻiwakīloumoku Hawaiian Cultural Center. Together they celebrated service award staffers and a successful fiscal year for KS.

The event featured ‘ono (delicious) Hawaiian food, entertainment, and culminated with a group singing competition à la Kamehameha’s annual Song Contest!

KS Chief Executive Officer Jack Wong took the opportunity to convey a heartfelt “mahalo” to the honorees for their years of hard work and dedication to the schools’ educational mission.
