Ke Ala ʻIke Scholars Excellence Program Ceremony

Ed 201

The Ke Ala ʻIke Excellence Program was founded in 2009 to inspire all Leeward CC students to hāpai (carry, fulfill) their kuleana (responsibilities) in academics and Hawaiian culture while focused on excellence and achievement.

Oli Komo

The oli komo, or welcoming chant, is a gift offered to those who visit our home. Hālau Puʻuloa tells of the beauty and abundance of our lands of Wai‘awa and the harbor of Pu‘uloa (Pearl Harbor). The area possessed fishponds teeming with marine life and natural springs that fed the lush vegetation that ‘Ewa is known for. It speaks of the refreshing winds that cool and the guardian of the bay who protects. The oli extends all the riches of Pu‘uloa to our guests as we invite them into our home.
