Mahalo iā ‘oukou pākahi a pau no ko ʻoukou aloha pauʻole me ka naʻau haʻahaʻa. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Navigating the world of academia as a Native Hawaiian woman is challenging yet extremely rewarding. Balancing family, work, personal well-being, and scholarship is particularly demanding. Oddly enough, the beauty of this doctoral journey is in the journey itself. Over the past three years, my passion for learning has intensified and my commitment to supporting the lāhui has strengthened. I have found new enthusiasm in my work and built meaningful relationships with amazing people. I am truly grateful for this wonderful opportunity. Collaborating and engaging with incredibly talented educators, advisors, and scholars in the EdD program has been both a privilege and inspiration. Mahalo nui to the mana wāhine in the cohort who have stood graciously by my side, offering friendship, encouragement, and their brilliance. I would especially like to thank the members of my dissertation committee, Dr. Lori Ideta, Dr. Walter Kahumoku III, and Dr. Paris Priore-Kim. Your expertise, intellectual guidance, insights, and feedback helped shape my growth as practitioner leader. You are true kukui ʻike noʻeau and I am deeply appreciative of your support.

  • Punahou School
    Resolved: That the foundation of this institution be laid with faith in God, relying upon His great and precious promises to believing parents in behalf of their children, commending it to His care and love from its commencement, and looking to Him to build it up, cherish it, and make it a blessing to the church and the world. Resolution Passed at the General Meeting of the Sandwich Islands Mission, held from May 12, till June 8, 1841 – forming what later became known as Punahou School. Punahou School On July 11, 1842, fifteen children met for the first time at Punahou School. By the end of that first year, 34- children from the Sandwich Islands and Oregon missions were enrolled; only one over 12-years old. Today, Punahou is the oldest independent school west of the Mississippi River. With 3,750 students, it is the largest single-campus private school in America. All of its graduates go on to college, with over 90- percent going to the continent for further schooling. (Scott, Punahou) Let’s look at how it got there. The story of Punahou tracks its foundation, beginning in 1808, when young ʻŌpūkahaʻia, a native Hawaiian training under his uncle to be a kahuna (priest) at Hikiʻau Heiau in Kealakekua Bay, boarded a Western ship there and sailed to the continent. On board, he developed a friendship with a Christian sailor who, using the Bible, began teaching ʻŌpūkahaʻia how to read and write. Once landed, he traveled throughout New England and continued to learn and study. At that time, the US was swept by religious revivalism and many people were converted in the wake of the newly-born religious fervor.
