Lanikai School changes its name

Lanikai Puhlie Charter School will be changing its name to Ka'ōhao at its May Day celebration, reflecting the traditional name of the area between Kailua and Waimānalo beaches. The name change is a result of a growing awareness about the history of the area. As students leamed more about Ka'ōhao, they wanted to know how the history and names of the land could be forgotten. Qriginally planned to be the name of a new enrichment and arts center, Ka'ōhao will now be the name of the entire school.
