Centered on the theme of “Embracing the Past While Envisioning our Future,” Kamehameha Schools Maui recently launched Hikina Rising – a podcast to help young alumni make the transition to their post-secondary endeavors.

Produced monthly by the high school’s staff with assistance from students, the podcast serves as an extension of the campus’ Post-High Counseling Department by featuring alumni, students, staff and faculty discussing topics ranging from balancing school and sports as a college athlete to goal-setting and planning for a professional career. The podcast also features a mixture of lighthearted talk-story sessions about memorable events like Founder’s Day to help out-of-state alumni cope with being away from home.    

Hikina Rising joins the Ka Piko Podcast as the second offering from KS – taking advantage of this growing medium that allows our constituents to connect with us on their digital devices at their convenience.
