BUILDING A LEGACY OF SUPPORT
The Kamehameha Schools Alumni Association (KSAA) is a private nonprofit organization that exists to organize and participate in educational, social, and cultural programs that reach, connect, and engage the Kamehameha Alumni ʻohana while supporting the core mission of Kamehameha Schools and the Pauahi Foundation.
The Association was officially founded in 1922 when seven alumni of the Kamehameha School for Boys petitioned the treasurer of the Territory of Hawai‘i to charter the Kamehameha Schools Alumni Association. Almost one hundred years later, KSAA has evolved and spread to 15 regions across Hawai‘i and the continental United States.
This site is exclusive to the East Hawaiʻi Region, which covers the geographical area from Laupāhoehoe to Nāʻālehu on Hawaiʻi Island.
