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 United States, 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.
