Founded by Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop, the Kamehameha Schools does an incredible job at fulfilling the Princess' mission: to create good and industrious native Hawaiian leaders in the community. By attending this school for thirteen years, I have been constantly immersed in Hawaiian culture and have been able to learn Hawaiian values that have, throughout our history, perpetuated a flourishing and loving environment. Not only are students such as myself well versed in the Hawaiian language, history, and culture, but we are also exposed and trained to succeed in the western world. We have some of, if not the best teachers and facilities in the state, geared toward giving each student the opportunity to reach their highest potential, prepare for their future, and achieve any specific goals they set out to accomplish. The Kamehameha Schools helps students find both their voices and their identities in a community that welcomes everyone with spirit, song, and the aloha spirit.
The experience is fantastic! Teachers are great, and the atmosphere around is uplifting as a student. There are many clubs and sports that are available to join and you could even make new ones if you wanted to. Safe campus, respectful teachers, and a very diverse range of learning opportunities.
As a student, I believe that Kamehameha Schools provides all the resources to succeed. As a Native Hawaiian, Kamehameha Schools has shaped my overall character of being a Hawaiian and encourages me to perpetuate my Hawaiian culture. The environment at Kamehameha Schools is very safe, many students leave belongings unattended and no one steals their things. I am a boarder at Kamehameha Schools which means I eat there breakfast, lunch and dinner. Although we are served chicken very often, we have a daily salad bar, saimin bar, and fruits. I wish to change the boarding program. I've struggled these past 3 years, almost 4 with my dorm advisors and the rules boarders have to follow. A boarders' schedule is very structured and does not allow for much free time. I feel as high school students, seniors especially we should be gradually starting to make choices for ourselves and start to become more independent. Overall it is a wonderful school with amazing and highly competent teachers.
