Ke Kula ʻO Nāwahīokalaniʻōpuʻu Iki Lab Public Charter School Leadership

We are re-sharing this video from 2019 when we featured Ke Kula ʻO Nāwahīokalaniʻōpuʻu Iki Lab Public Charter School. It is an outstanding Hawaiian Medium school in Keaʻau where students and staff speak the Hawaiian language and are immersed in the Hawaiian culture.
The school's mission: Ke Kula ʻO Nāwahīokalaniʻōpuʻu is committed to securing a school community built upon culturally rooted principles of the Kumu Honua Mauli Ola that reflect love of spirituality, love of family, love of language, love of knowledge, love of fellow man, love of land, and love of people. Students of Nāwahīokalaniʻōpuʻu are educated upon a culturally Hawaiian foundation. This foundation is the basis upon which students are motivated to:
-Bring honor to ancestors
-Seek and attain knowledge to sustain family
-Contribute to the well-being and flourishing of the Hawaiian language and culture; and
-Contribute to the quality of life in Hawai’i.
This story focuses on the great leadership at the school that has allowed the school community, students, staff, alumni to thrive and grow for more than two decades.
