Kamehameha Schools Maui - ʻŌlelo Manaʻolana (Vision) Kamehameha Schools Maui is a vibrant, inclusive, student-centered learning community working to inspire, empower, and nurture all learners so that they grow to become dynamic, innovative, and compassionate individuals, E Ola!

We achieve this through an environment that is rich in Hawaiian culture based learning and Christian values, delivers strong academic programs and student support systems, robust extra- and co-curricular opportunities, and world-class facilities and services.

Overview

Kamehameha Schools (KS), the largest independent school in the , is seeking to fill a new Upper Division Head for its spectacular 180-acre hillside campus in Pukalani, Maui. The position requires an outstanding individual with system-wide perspective who can lead the campus and specifically the current Kula Ki‘eki‘e (High School) and Kula Waena (Middle School) which will merge beginning SY 2020-2021 to create the new Upper Division and will consist of over 800 students grades 6-12 and 102 faculty and staff in achieving the mission of Kamehameha Schools and the vision, values, and goals of the Maui campus. The K-12 Maui Campus leadership team, led by Ke Poʻo Kula (the Head of School), aspires to transform learning systems that promote student success through student-centered, innovative teaching and learning and are committed to elevating the level of professional excellence for faculty by which student success is driven. To achieve these aspirations, Kamehameha Schools Maui leadership is expected to work collaboratively across divisions to create an integrated K-12 organization with strong, functional systems; teaching excellence; and shared core educational principles. The Upper Division Head, along with all other members of the leadership team, is charged with encouraging educators to explore opportunities alongside their leaders while uplifting the communities they serve, with the understanding that individual success is inextricably tied to community success. The strong sentiment shared by faculty and administrators, that these roles carry the “potential to help a people” and impact the native Hawaiian lāhui (community), is both deeply felt and provident.

KS Maui seeks servant-leaders who can initiate and manage transformational change around instructional paradigms; who are relational, collaborative leaders and listeners; who can embrace, live, and teach both Hawaiian and Christian values to the school’s diverse population; and who can inspire their community towards a world class educational experience. As representatives of one of the most prominent and connected institutions in the state, KS leaders serve in vital positions that are highly visible to the public. Leading in this context requires extensive experience, confidence, and proven management and trust of tenacious stakeholders.

KS Maui is looking for individuals who embrace this charge and the kuleana (responsibility) to provide exceptional educational experiences for haumāna and staff. An ideal candidate is grounded in the values KS strives to foster in its learners and understands that pilina (relationships) — both internal and external — are critical to the success of the school and the growth of their haumāna and colleagues. This is an exceptional and exciting opportunity for an experienced dynamic, engaged, strategic, and student-centered education leader to partner with a thoughtful and visionary Poʻo Kula and leadership team.

Kamehameha Schools Manaʻo Kahua (Mission), ʻŌlelo Manaʻolana (Vision), and Strategic Goals

Mission: Kamehameha Schools’ mission honors Founder Princess ’s desire to create educational opportunities in perpetuity to improve the capability and well-being of people of Hawaiian ancestry. Today, that legacy is being fulfilled by KS’ three K-12 campuses (Hawaiʻi Island, Maui, and Kapālama), 29 preschools across the state, various summer and community programs, partnerships, and collaborations, and through numerous K-12 and college scholarships (approx. $30M) which impact over 47,000 students annually.

Vision: Within a generation of 25 years, we see a thriving lāhui where our learners achieve postsecondary educational success, enabling good life and career choices. We also envision that our learners willbe grounded in Christian and Hawaiian values and become leaders who contribute to their communities, both locally and globally. KS’ commitment to this vision is evident through the diverse high-impact, world-class educational programs provided by the organization. By employing collective impact approaches and listening and collaborating with community partners, KS endeavors to proactively promote improved outcomes that serve Native Hawaiian learners in areas of greatest socioeconomic need.

The Search Group | Carney, Sandoe & Associates 3 [email protected] | www.carneysandoe.com Strategic Goals: Kamehameha Schools’ Strategic Plan 2020 (Kūhanauna) commenced in 2015 as the first in a series of anticipated five-year plans. Over the next 25 years, these plans will outline how Kamehameha Schools will accomplish its vision. The goals of Kūhanauna are as follows:

Goal 1: Network of Native Hawaiian Schools Deliver world-class, culture-based education through a network of Native Hawaiian schools, inclusive of KS schools and Native Hawaiian charter and immersion schools. Goal 2: Improved Educational System Contribute to communities’ collective efforts to improve education systems for Native Hawaiian learners to achieve key Educational Pathway Milestones. Goal 3: Native Hawaiian Identity Cultivate a strong Native Hawaiian identity to instill confidence and resiliency in all learners and to inform decision making and actions within the organization, for the improvement of the wellbeing of the Lāhui. Goal 4: High-Performing Native Hawaiian Organization Execute as a high-performing, mission-driven, Native Hawaiian organization with strong leadership, efficient processes and systems, and successful strategic partnerships. Goal 5: Impact-Driven Resource Management Prudently optimize the strength, breadth, and strategic alignment of resources with an organization- wide focus.

-Excerpt from the will of Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop

Kamehameha Schools has chosen six Educational Pathway Milestones that promote its improved educational system (Goal 2):

• Ready for Kindergarten. • Reading at grade level or higher in Grade 3. • Academically prepared in Grade 8. • Graduated from high school on time and prepared for the next step. • Completed postsecondary education/training. • Demonstrated local and global servant leadership and cultural engagement.

KS realizes that its ability to achieve these goals and Educational Pathway Milestones is highly reliant on strong, effective and accountable leaders and engaged, passionate and talented staff focused onimpact- driven learner outcomes.

Learner Outcomes

As a tri-campus system, Kamehameha Schools educational program uses the Tri-Campus learner outcomes, E Ola!, as a foundation (see the last page of this document) which emphasizes critical and creative thinking and problem solving skills and values real-world application. These outcomes include academic, cultural, and collaborative competencies and skill sets that prepare haumāna (learners) to become local and global servant leaders who are culturally engaged and play significant roles in creating strong ‘ohana (family) and communities throughout ka pae ‘āina o Hawai‘i (the Hawaiian Archipelago) and beyond.

The Search Group | Carney, Sandoe & Associates 5 [email protected] | www.carneysandoe.com To support attainment of the E Ola! Learner Outcomes, KS implemented four cornerstones as part of its Education Tactical Plan that serve as a unifying focus for the tri-campus system:

Student-Centered Learning Refocus learning through student-centered, culturally rich experiences and opportunities inspired by student interests and talents. Each student will be prepared to meet their highest potential through diverse academic, athletic, artistic, and co-curricular programs and by leveraging media, technology, community partners, and the network of native Hawaiian schools. Student-centered learning will include personalized learning, a career and college mindset, and student health, safety, and well-being.

Empowered Educators Empower educators to employ nurturing and dynamic teaching methods that motivate learners to attain world-class outcomes. Kamehameha Schools will recruit, develop, and retain outstanding educators and empower them to produce rigorous, relevant, and relationship-rich Hawaiian culture-based education learning environments. Faculty will be expected to distinguish themselves as teachers and to develop professionally with the aim of inspiring higher learning and performance in their students.

Elevated Standards Elevate standards by developing a world-class curriculum and by setting student achievement benchmarks and global standards. Use discipline-specific standards of excellence to provide the highest-quality educational programs designed to prepare every graduate to be ready for post-secondary success and career opportunities. Elevating standards includes a shared commitment to world-class, Hawaiian culture-based education, developing and applying student-growth outcomes, and advancing Christian values as well as Hawaiian culture consistent with the wishes of the Founders.

The Search Group | Carney, Sandoe & Associates 6 [email protected] | www.carneysandoe.com Redefined Systems and Learning Environments Redefine systems and learning environments in a way that establishes leadership, faculty, andstaff accountability for ambitious student outcomes. Education output and learning outcomes will be the primary focus of tri-campus education leaders and faculty. Accordingly, decision-making authority will be as close to the teacher and learner as possible. Redefining systems and learning environments include refining a governance model, improving student learning, and participating in the network of Native Hawaiian schools.

Kamehameha Schools History

As the last royal descendant of the Kamehameha line, Bernice Pauahi Bishop inherited thousands of acres totaling approximately 9% of the total lands in Hawai‘i, making her the largest landholder in the kingdom. After bearing witness to the diminishing population of native Hawaiians and the gradual loss ofidentity and marginalization of her people, in 1883, she bequeathed her entire estate to establish the Kamehameha Schools to educate Hawaiian children. By the terms of her will, the Kamehameha Schools were founded with the mission to create opportunities for people of Hawaiian ancestry to acquire knowledge and skills, to restore them through education, and to see them thrive again. Even today, the KS community remains inspired by Pauahi’s example of character, service, faith, compassion, and vision.

The original school, the School for Boys, opened in 1887 with nine teachers and 37 students. In 1894, a girls’ school was established. The two schools grew and evolved separately until 1965, when they joined together into a single coeducational entity on the 600-acre Kapālama campus on O‘ahu.

Today, the Kamehameha Schools’ $12 billion endowment funds education for the thousands of its learners and caregivers annually through an organization that functions statewide, utilizing a range of outreach programs, community collaborations, and financial aid opportunities in Hawai‘i and across the continental United

The Search Group | Carney, Sandoe & Associates 7 [email protected] | www.carneysandoe.com States. This educational network includes K-12 campuses on O‘ahu, Hawai‘i, and Maui, and preschool sites throughout the islands. The combined preschool through grade 12 student enrollment is more than 6,900. Kamehameha Schools gives preference to children of Hawaiian ancestry to the extent permitted by law. The schools are accredited by the Hawai‘i Association of Independent Schools and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and employ roughly 4,000 full and part-time faculty and staff.

Given its vast land holdings, Kamehameha Schools trustees also oversee an organization whose administrative offices manage thousands of acres of agricultural and conservation land, properties, and realestate development in , interests in renewable energy, water resources, forest restoration, affordable housing, and other initiatives and partnerships, all in support of the schools’ educational goals and the vision of the Founders.

The Kamehameha Schools Maui Past, Present, and Future

Originally envisioned as a K-8 institution, the Maui campus was established in 1996 to expand the reach of Pauahi’s vision to develop Hawaiian haumāna into “good and industrious men and women”. The school opened at a temporary location in retrofitted residences and without formal curricula, textbooks, or major equipment. Despite those obstacles, parents wanted to send their children to the school because they believed in the Kamehameha Schools mission. Today, KSM anchors its kāhua (foundation) on the slopes of Haleakalā and enrolls approximately 1,069 students in kindergarten through 12th grade. With the support of over 200 full- and part-time faculty and staff, on a state-of-the-art campus overlooking the expanse of Maui’s grandeur, KSM haumāna are inspired to achieve educational excellence and develop into culturally engaged local and global servant leaders of their communities.

The Search Group | Carney, Sandoe & Associates 8 [email protected] | www.carneysandoe.com For over 20 years, Kamehameha Schools Maui (KSM) has existed with much of its foundational curriculum, instruction, and assessment in place. Recent shifts have occurred with the introduction and refinement of the E Ola! Learner Outcomes (see the last page of this document), but core programming and the organizational structure has largely remained the same. KSM realizes, however, that the future of its students and graduates continues to evolve and that the school must embrace trends reflective of a growing number of design-based schools.

The continued transformation of KSM into a world-class Hawaiian-culture based school requires a human- centered design approach with focus on innovative practices; visionary and inspiring leadership; a learning environment based on empathy, research, ideation, prototyping, testing, and implementation; and assessment in the service of learning – E Ola!. This will be accomplished through school redesign that involves faculty, retains a focus on student well-being, and actively involves parents in the journey.

Over the next two years (SY 2019-2020 and 2020-2021) the school will work to provide strategic leadership of its core educational programs, offer greater autonomy to smaller learning communities, allow teachers to work toward mastering something they identify and value, and connect all staff to a larger vision of school redesign so they feel part of something bigger than themselves. The implementation of a new leadership structure is critical to this transformation and will include:

• Transition of the high school and middle school to an Upper Division, combining grades 6-12. This new division will be led by an Upper Division Head, who will be supported by an Assistant Upper Division Head, four Assistant Principals, a Dean of Learning, and an Athletic Director (supported by an Associate AD). • Redesigning the elementary school to the Lower Division (grades K-5). The new Lower Division Head will lead the evolution of this division with the support of two Assistant Principals and a Dean of Learning. • Hiring a Dean of Student Support Services – a role which will support all present school Counselors including two Lower Division Counselors, Deans of Students for grades 6-12, and a Coordinator, Student Support Services. The Search Group | Carney, Sandoe & Associates 9 [email protected] | www.carneysandoe.com • Expansion of the summer learning, provided through the addition of new Head of Summer and Extended Learning responsible for driving innovation in the summer and extended learning spaces while positioning the campus for larger community outreach and enhanced after-school, intersession, distance and online learning, and dual credit and early college services.

Upper Division

The overall mission of Kamehameha Schools is to improve the capability and well-being of Hawaiians through education. To this end, the Upper Division Head (grades 6-12) emphasizes the development of the whole child through academics, social skills, the arts, and cultural, spiritual, and physical education and that this is delivered through a world-class curriculum and small, personal classes taught by passionate and knowledgeable teachers. Students are prepared for success in a global society, able to think critically, communicate effectively, and problem solve.

Beginning in the 2020-2021 school year, KSM will be merging its Middle and High School to create an Upper Division. In the current Middle School students transition to block scheduling which allows for more time for collaboration, projects, and hands-on activities. Grade six rotates through one elective each quarter to gain a broad exposure to offerings. Grade seven and grade eight haumāna register for the elective of their choice for the entire year. Advanced-level courses are also offered for Math and English in Middle School. College and career awareness are promoted during the middle school years in guidance classes. Each Middle School student is issued a MacBook Air laptop.

Involvement in co-curricular activities complements a student’s academic studies by offering experiences and opportunities that may not be available in the classroom. All students are encouraged to participate in a sport or belong to one of the clubs or academic teams on campus. Dozens of special interest clubs on campus provide something for every interest. Choices range from Student Council and Spanish Club to Hawaiian culture and drama clubs. In addition, Kamehameha sponsors honorary organizations such as the National Honor Society. Around 54% of Middle School students participate in at least one sport or athletic team and 23% are involved in at least one club, organization, or academic team. In Upper School, 77% of students participate in at least one sport or athletic team and 66% participate in at least one club or academic team.

Servant Leadership is a core element of the KSM experience that positions learners to lead and contribute to their communities, both locally and globally. In Middle School, grade levels participate with community service events and activities throughout the year. Sixty hours of community service is a graduation requirement for Upper School.

KSM offers a competitive interscholastic athletic program. Students can try out for more than 42teams representing 22 sports such as football, baseball, basketball, paddling, volleyball, track and field, bowling, air riflery, golf, wrestling, and swimming. KSM participates in the Maui Interscholastic League (MIL).

Hawaiian language is often used during the day in various settings and students take part in activities that reinforce the Hawaiian Values of Aloha: humility, perseverance, responsibility, generosity, unity, and the seeking of knowledge.

The Search Group | Carney, Sandoe & Associates 12 [email protected] | www.carneysandoe.com Common amongst KS students is a fundamental understanding and application of ‘ike kūpuna (ancestral experiences and knowledge); aloha ‘āina (a love for the land and its people); and kūpono (honorable character founded on Hawaiian and Christian values). KSM seeks to strengthen and cultivate these foundational values and capacities by fostering a safe learning environment, ensuring inspiring kumu (teachers) fill every classroom, and by providing a rigorous academic experience tethered in real-world relevance.

The campus has an active alumni association. Alumni feel KS is their home and are grateful to have benefited from Pauahi’s gift to her people. KS is viewed as “an extremely special place that sees the potential in each student.”

Faculty refer to the “talent, care, and caliber” of their colleagues as one of the chief reasons they teach at KSM. Another is their commitment to the mission and vision of Pauahi. Many members of the community are inspired by Pauahi’s mission and feel it is an honor and calling to work at Kamehameha Schools. Professional development is encouraged and supported, and teachers have instructional latitude, as well as the opportunity to innovate and build curriculum that fulfills student needs. Still, there is a desire for the Division Head to further inspire and support the faculty, raise expectations and accountability, reinforce the teaching of the whole child, and guide the improvement of curricular scope and sequence.

Physical Campus

Established in 1996, Kamehameha Schools Maui (KSM) is one of three K-12 campuses in the Kamehameha Schools Educational System. KSM enrolls over 1,000 K-12 students on a well-equipped, 180-acre campus situated in Pukalani on the gentle slopes of the dormant volcano Haleakalā at the 1,600-foot elevation. Grounded in its Hawaiian and Christian values and committed to the revitalization and perpetuation of [email protected] | www.carneysandoe.com The Search Group | Carney, Sandoe & Associates 13 [email protected] | www.carneysandoe.com Hawaiian culture, the school offers a comprehensive college preparatory curriculum which includes the study of Hawaiian culture and language, as well as character education and religious instruction. KS Maui is an impressive learning community with a well-defined vision and the physical, financial, and human resources necessary to realize an ambitious agenda of continuous improvement and student success.

The spacious campus houses what is currently known as the Elementary, Middle, and High School with more than 19 buildings, an Olympic-size swimming pool, tennis courts, outside basketball courts, an artificial turf football/soccer field, track, and seating for 1,500. There are three dining halls as well as three health rooms each staffed by a Registered Nurse. The Upper Division campus is quite expansive with specially designed classrooms for all disciplines and expansive green space for both the 6-8 and 9-12 areas. The campus is equipped with Career Academy buildings for Information Technology and Engineering, Business and Leadership, Arts and Communication, and Science and Natural Resources; the Charles Reed Bishop Learning Center. The main campus gymnasium offers students basketball and volleyball courts, a wrestling room, and weight training room as well as a fully equipped fitness center for both students and staff.

The land area in which the campus sits upon is known to have petroglyphs located on both sides of Kalialinui Gulch and was home to Kihaapiʻilani, one of two sons of the great chief Piʻilani who ruled the island of Maui in the 1500s. It is written that the great chief Piʻilani had two sons, Lonoapiʻilani and Kihaapiʻilani. By birthright, Lonoapiʻilani inherited the kingdom upon the death of his father. However, Lono was not a good leader like his father and therefore his younger brother, Kiha was favored by the people. Knowing this, Lono conspired to kill Kiha. Kiha was forced to leave West Maui and take refuge, living incognito in the ahupuaʻa of ʻAʻapueo in the district of Kula. There, he and his wife lived peacefully among the commoners. While at ʻAʻapueo, Kiha traveled each day to Hāliʻimaile, where he gathered the finest sweet potato slips and brought it back to ʻAʻapueo to be planted. Eventually, his ʻuala patch became huge and during the drought season, the people were sustained by the sweet potato planted by Kiha. Eventually, word got out that he was the great Kihaapiʻilani, son of Piʻilani. Lono prepared to wage battle and kill Kiha but before the battle began, Lono

Kihaapiʻilani then becomes the chief and like his father, he is well loved by his people. During his reign, he continued the work begun by his father and built the first trail to encircle the entire island of Maui, Ke Ala Loa O Maui or The King’s Trail.

Maui, Hawai’i

Maui, known also as “The Valley Isle,” is the second-largest landmass in the Hawaiian island chain. The island, with a population of around 145,000, is beloved for its world-famous beaches, the sacred ʻIao Valley, views of migrating humpback whales (during winter months), farm-to-table cuisine, and the magnificent sunrise and sunset from Haleakalā National Park.

Upcountry Maui, where KSM is located, is the ideal place for people who want to spend time with families and friends outside. There are beautiful parks, forests, waterfalls, and numerous farms to explore and enjoy. Residents participate in a variety of activities including horseback riding, mountain biking, hiking, and—with the beach just 30 minutes away—every water sport imaginable. Although it is one of the most frequently visited islands, residents can find many quieter spots to enjoy its beauty.
