Kamehameha Schools was founded by the will of Bernice Pauahi Bishop, the great-granddaughter of Kamehameha the Great.
December 19, 2017
Kamehameha Schools founder Ke Ali‘i Bernice Pauahi Bishop cared deeply for her people, her lands, and her culture. It is her lasting legacy that we will celebrate on her birthday, December 19. This Founder’s Day, let us be inspired by Pauahi's selfless leadership – deeply rooted in her Hawaiian and Christian values – and instill those values in ourselves, our families and our communities. Each of us has the power within us to do great things and to inspire great change. Together we can create a bright future with boundless possibilities. Mahalo e Pauahi! I Mua Kamehameha!
