Graduation is always a special moment each year, as we celebrate and send off students with the loina Kamehameha, the traditions we hold dear.

For the 139 haumāna in Kamehameha Schools Hawaiʻi Class of 2018, Kanaloa, it was no exception, though the occassion itself presented a number of exceptional moments.
