Hānai i ke keiki, ola ka lāhui

Ke Kula ʻo Kamehameha Kapālama and our preschools and offices on Oʻahu have closed today due to the storm. Our Maui Resource Center has also closed. These closures were made in response to current conditions, are aligned with government announcements and evacuation orders, and are intended to provide for the safety and well-being of our haumāna, ʻohana, and staff as heavy rains and flooding continue across the islands. All other campuses, preschools, and offices on Kauaʻi, Maui Nui, and Hawaiʻi Island remain open today during standard business hours. Individual campuses and sites will continue sharing updates directly with their stakeholders regarding any changes to activities, events, or programs scheduled during this storm-impacted period.  We will continue to monitor conditions closely and remain in communication with emergency and government officials, and will provide updates as necessary. We encourage everyone to stay informed through state and local weather updates, prepare and mālama your ʻohana, and look out for one another and your communities during this storm.

The state Probate Court has selected Eric Yeaman as the newest member of the Board of Trustees of Ke Kula ʻo Kamehameha. Eric brings more than three decades of executive and board leadership experience across Hawaiʻi’s financial services, telecommunications, energy, healthcare, real estate and investment sectors. His numerous senior leadership roles include serving as the Chief Financial Officer for Ke Kula ʻo Kamehameha from 2000 to 2003. Please join us in welcoming Eric to the Ke Kula ʻo Kamehameha ‘ohana. #imuakamehameha

Offices across the pae ʻāina for Ke Kula ‘o Kamehameha will reopen tomorrow, Monday, March 16, 2026. KS campuses and preschools will continue normal Spring Break operations, with haumāna and kumu away from classes. We mahalo our haumāna, ʻohana and staff for your patience, flexibility and care for one another as the recent Kona storm moved through our islands. We also recognize that many in our communities experienced severe damage and other impacts from the weather, and we extend our deepest aloha to all who have been affected.

With the safety and well-being of our haumāna, ʻohana and staff at the top of our mind, Ke Kula ʻo Kamehameha campuses, preschool sites and offices on Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi and Maui will be closed tomorrow, Friday, March 13, 2026. This decision aligns with state and county closures and follows the guidance of government and emergency officials as the Kona storm continues to impact these islands. 
At this time, Ke Kula ʻo Kamehameha campuses, preschool sites and offices on Hawaiʻi Island will remain open tomorrow. We will continue to monitor conditions closely and remain in communication with emergency and government officials. If conditions change, decisions regarding Hawaiʻi Island sites will be communicated directly and immediately to those communities.   Individual campuses and sites will also be sharing updates regarding any changes to activities, events or programs scheduled during this time.
