May. 19, 2023
Kamehameha Schools Hawaiʻi celebrated the 2022-2023 Kamehameha Schools Spiritual Theme - "E Mahi a e Mālama i Ko Ke Akua | Cultivate and Care for God's Creation" and the final convocation for our graduating class of 2023, Hiʻiakaikawaiola. We also honored "graduating" Kamehameha Schools trustee, Mr. Lance Wilhelm, as he ends his tenure as a Kahu Waiwai this year.
We were excited to be back and together in our tradition as one kula as we near the close of this special school year, recognize a tremendous ʻōiwi leader, and came together in mele and worship of Ke Akua. Watch the full 2023 End of the Year Convocation on-demand on the Kamehameha Schools YouTube channel.
