Students away at college welcome a Kamehameha "Home Away from Home".
Host Family Networking: Need a friendly and familiar face to keep you connected to Kamehameha while in college? If the answer is yes, then the College Support Network is just what you need. KS alumni on the mainland are ready to serve as host families for our graduates pursuing higher education away from Hawaii. Families are matched with students so that they have a "home away from home" and a place to escape to from the rigors and regimentation of the academic environment. A great way for alumni helping alumni.

"I neva ask the question because I shame..."
College Connection: When students enter college for the first time, there are specific unanswered questions about their choice of school, the services and support they can expect, something about the area, etc. that they may want to hear firsthand. What better way to find the answers to their questions than from KS graduates who are currently students at that particular college. The College Connection provides an opportunity for entering college freshmen to get to know other KS students on campus while at the same time provide a smooth transition from high school to college. This informal "talk story" session is for both students and parents and allows each group to share experiences, anxieties, frustrations and healthy, positive feedback. College Connection is held every summer during the months of June or July.

Previewing College and Career Choices with KS Alumni Representatives
KS Campus College and Career Fair: Our own Kamehameha Campus College and Career Fair. Over 50 colleges and universities on the mainland and in Hawaii participate at the fair. KS alumni in their different vocations represent different careers. Recent KS graduates enrolled at the various post-high institutions serve as representatives of their respective campuses. Student and parent panelists share their experiences. The fair is held every year during the Christmas break and invitations are extended to all students and parents in grades 7-12.

Making a Difference by Word of Mouth
KS Alumni Speakers Bureau: One way of giving back to Kamehameha is by way of the KS Alumni Speakers Bureau. During the academic year, KS alumni return to campus and speak to students on different careers and professions by sharing their experiences in their respective fields. Whether it be in the fields of medicine, law, hotel management, business, airline industry, architect, agriculture, computers, investments, education, culinary arts, auto mechanics, tourism, etc., KS alumni are encouraged to become involved and join our pool of speakers.

Never Too Late to Learn
KS Alumni Adult Education Program (non-traditional students): So you've been out of high school for a few years and now want to go to college but don't know how or where to begin? This program will get you started. KS alumni who are college admissions and financial aid counselors will provide guidance and information on pursuing that dream of completing a college education.
