My experience at Kamehameha has been an eye opener to new cultural opportunities allowing me to be more culturally grounded and prepared to face the world as an individual.

This school was a very great opportunity for me. I came from a small town and soon lived on campus in the dorms. We are held at a very expectation so we were always pushed to do our best.
