190 years ago, a Princess was born. On December 19th, 1831, Bernice Pauahi Pākī was born to high chiefs Abner Pākī anel Laura Konia. She was the great-granddaughter of Kamehameha 'Ekahi and the last descendant of the ruling Kamehameha line. Pauahi was a visionary who possessed an unconditional love for her people and infinite compassion for all whom she served. She believed in the power of education and its ability to improve the well-being of her people. In an enduring act of aloha, she bequeathed her ancestral lands to establish a learning institution for Hawai'i's keiki. Through her last will and testament, Pauahi established a legacy that continues to uplift generations of Native Hawaiians from preschool to graduation and to thriving careers beyond. We remain forever indebted to our founder - Ke Ali'i Bernice Pauahi Pākī Bishop.
