Who are we?
At Kamehameha Schools Hawaiʻi, Kumuola, Pūʻawalau, and Mīkolelehua play a key role in advancing the campus vision for ea by embedding haumāna-centered leadership, curiosity, and meaningful real-world learning into the everyday work of each division.
OUR CENTERS
Kumuola is a learning lab rooted in the stewardship of Waiāhole, Kapalaho, and Waiʻōpio in Honohononui, Hilo. It brings haumāna and field experts together to restore loko iʻa and deepen understanding through grounded, innovative, and joyful learning.
Kumuola is a learning lab grounded in the ʻike and stewardship of the mauka spaces. It brings haumāna and field experts together to learn, explore, and build deeper relationships with ʻāina through grounded, innovative, and joyful learning.
In honor of the great kākāʻōlelo—trusted orators who carried the words, genealogies, and visions of our people—the name Mīkolelehua aspires to their eloquence, discipline, and discernment, embodying the power of moʻolelo to shape identity, reclaim narratives, and forge thriving futures for ʻohana, ʻāina, and lāhui.
The Pūʻawalau Center for ʻŌiwi Leadership and Advocacy, Aloha ʻĀina Allies (AʻĀA), shows how the indicators of E Ola! come to life through authentic experiences that build ʻŌiwi leadership and advocacy. Through huakaʻi, mele and hula workshops, peer mentoring, and college visits, haumāna grow into Global ʻŌiwi Leaders.
