Na ke kime Hoʻokaʻa ʻIke
Nou ke aloha nui e Aunty Hedy Leilani Sullivan. We fondly remember the steadfast poʻo of Kula Aupuni Niihau A Kahelelani Aloha (KANAKA) Public Charter School (PCS). For 25 years, her aloha nurtured haumāna, ʻohana and ʻōlelo Niʻihau. Her legacy and spirit will continue to live on in every heart she touched.
Continuing her legacy, KANAKA PCS is developing a new bilingual curriculum and relocating their elementary program to the campus’ Waimea wing. The school will continue to propagate makaloa and ipu wai. The school is searching for new land access opportunities to enrich ʻāina-based, hands-on learning to strengthen students’ cultural and environmental connection.
Meanwhile, Ke Kula Niihau O Kekaha celebrated their 7th Annual Hoolaulea Pute, featuring the work of their haumāna who authored and published books in ʻōlelo Niʻihau. The school continues its work dedicated to strengthening and perpetuating ʻōlelo Niʻihau. To learn more, visit kknok.org.
Kanuikapono PCS and Kūkulu Kumuhana o Anahola’s Resilient Leader and Food Security Program came full circle at their Hōʻike, honoring the class of 2025’s deep connection to ʻāina, culture, and community.
Kawaikini PCS is a K-12 Hawaiian-medium charter school dedicated to fostering ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi, cultural grounding, and academic excellence. Founded in 2008, Kawaikini offers a Kauaʻi-based, values-driven curriculum rooted in health, ʻāina, and college-career readiness. Learn more at kawaikini.com.
