Another school year has gone by and it’s time for KS seniors to graduate. Approximately 250 seniors from the Hawaiʻi and Maui campuses visited Oʻahu's Mauna ʻAla on May 22 to pay their respects at the final resting place of Kamehameha Schools founder Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop. For most of the students, this was their first visit to the Royal Mausoleum where the aliʻi of Hawaiʻi are laid to rest.
The Kapālama campus was the next stop for the students where the campus' seniors joined the group for lunch and fellowship at Kaʻiwakīloumoku, the Hawaiian Cultural Center. Finally, all the seniors traveled to historic Kawaiahaʻo Church for a joint service and to hear an uplifting message from Trustee Chairman Janeen-Ann Olds.
KS photographer Michael Young captured the gatherings in the photos below. If your division or campus has pics to share, please send them along with background information and captions to ksonline@ksbe.edu.
Kamehameha Schools’ policy is to give preference to applicants of Hawaiian ancestry to the extent permitted by law.
