Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole Elementary & Intermediate School is in Papaikou, just north of downtown Hilo. The school has a long tradition of serving students from the many small towns in the area, such as Papaikou, Pepeekeo, Honomu, Hakalau, Paukaa, and Honolii Pali. Kalanianaole has continued to meet the needs of these communities by expanding to ensure a nurturing learning environment for preschoolers through eighth graders on one campus. Three, and in some instances, four generation families have attended Kalanianaole School. Our parents' desire to continue this family tradition is a testament to the pride they have in our school.
In 1993 and 1994 the school received two technology grants for a total of $120,000 for computer projects. To maintain and replace computer equipment, the Kalanianaole School Foundation was established. The foundation has continued to be an important source of financial support for the school by funding the purchase of equipment and services that could not normally be afforded.
