Kamehameha Schools Kapālama celebrated its 128th annual Founder’s Day in honor and remembrance of Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop. Students, staff and alumni filled Kekūhaupiʻo Gym for a program of songs, scripture readings and hula.
Immediately following the all school programs on campus, the seniors were bussed to the Royal Mausoleum at Mauna ʻAla, where Princess Pauahi was laid to rest. Princess Pauahi was the last in the line of high chiefs and when she died she left her great estate to found and maintain Kamehameha Schools.
KS photographer Michael Young was on hand to capture the highlights of this year’s celebration.
Kamehameha Schools’ policy is to give preference to applicants of Hawaiian ancestry to the extent permitted by law.
