Calling all Pacific Northwest Punahou Alumni!

Inspiring evening with Dr. Latham celebrating 100 Years of the Punahou Alumni Lūʻau.

More than 60 alumni gathered in Portland, OR — traveling from as far south as Medford and north from Washington — a testiment to the deep and enduring ties of our alumni community.

Mahalo to Punahou School for sending flowers from home so we could make leis together. Carmel cuts, conversation, and time to reconnect made it a special night.

Dr. Latham shared Punahou’s refreshed mission statement:

“We are children of Ka Punahou, the new spring.
From under the hala tree, we weave a mat that seats many, our home to dream and discover our purpose and kuleana to Hawai‘i and the world.”

We also heard inspiring updates — including the upcoming reopening of the Mary Kawena Pukui Learning Commons. For many of us, the Upper School library holds meaningful memories, and it’s powerful to see that space renewed for the next generation.
