Kamehameha Kapālama Campus
Kōnia
Kōnia is home to most of the upper-campus classes. The building was named after Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop's mother, a high chiefess in Hawaiʻi.
Haleakalā
Haleakalā is home to speech classes, counseling, and art classes. Haleakalā means "House of the Sun" and was also the name of Princess Pauahi's home, where she spent a lot of her time.
Kaʻahumanu
Kaʻahumanu is the home of our Physical Education classes, with a gym, as well as history classes on the bottom. Kaʻahumanu was named after Kamehameha's favorite wife, who was also a very high-ranked chiefess, which is why this is one of our campus's highest buildings.
Keʻelikōlani
Keʻelikōlani is our school's auditorium, which also houses all of our performing arts classes on campus. The building is named after Princess Pauahi's favorite cousin, Ruth Keʻelikōlani, who also gave her all of her lands to create Kamehameha Schools.
Hale Kukui
Hale Kukui was once faculty housing, but is now home to the High School Boarding Office.
Hale Ola
Hale Ola was made in 1940 and means the "House of Life". The building was formerly used by the U.S. Army primarily for women and children who were injured in 1942. Hale Ola is now the school's infirmary, which is a large part of Kamehameha's Mālama Ola program.
Keōua (depicted on the right)
Keōua is a lower-campus building where English and Hawaiian language classes take place. This building was named after Kamehameha's father. Keōua means the "rain cloud" and was given to him because of his generosity as a chief.
Pākī
Pākī is a lower-campus building that houses most of the classes from math, to science, to history, and much more. Pākī was named after Princess Pauahi's father, Abner Pākī. This building connects to Kōnia because both house most of the classes on upper and lower campuses.

Mokauea
Mokauea is the furthest makai of the Kapālama ahupuaʻa. It used to be home to dozens of loko iʻa or fishponds, but were rudely torn down by haole for development. The island used to be entirely self-sufficient, while now it's so destroyed that caretakers care for the land. Because of the deep-rooted Hawaiian connection of Mokauea, we are lucky enough as KS students to be able to go there soon enough in the care and restoration of Mokauea. It will be a great experience where we are able to learn more about our ahupuaʻa and what made it so amazing.
