Kawailoa is one of six ahupua’a in the district of Waialua on Oʻahu. Victoria Kamāmalu inherited Kawailoa from Kīnaʻu and Kaʻahumanu.  Upon her death, it passed to her brother, Lot Kamehameha,  then to Ruth Keʻelikolani, then to Bernic
e Pauahi for her perpetual estate in 1887. Villages were established between A.D. 1200-1400. Anahulu Valley is the earliest habitation site. The ahupuaʻa is rich in cultural sites.    

     Total Kamehameha Schools land in the ahupua’a runs from 13,000 acres of conservation land in the upper mountain elevation down to include Hale’iwa town...from near Weed Junction to Pua’ena Point. Beginning in 1999,  KAPU DESILVA Smith, KSK 1975, is the land manager of diversified agriculture. 

    In 2000, the Land Assets Division was created with NEIL HANNAHS, KSK 1969, as Director.   98% or 348,000 acres of Kamehameha Schoolʻs land holdings in Hawaiʻi are agricultural or conservation land.   See IMUA, March 2005.

Hawai’i and Maui campus high schools are career academies.  Career academies differ from traditional academic and vocational
education because they prepare high school students for both college and careers...”Students are able to work on their core requirements--which are college preparatory--but then in an elective format they can focus on a career interest...we provide real-life application and opportunities...”

    Students are exposed to job shadowing, career mentoring and internships...during their junior and senior years, with a senior legacy project--similar to a master’s thesis--culminating the student’s academy experience.
