Scenes from the Start of a New School Year

The 2026 – 2027 school year is underway at Punahou, with students from Kindergarten through the Academy settling into their classes and daily routines. 

They reconnected with classmates, met their teachers and began lessons and activities. From individual projects to group work, students are already collaborating and exchanging ideas in classrooms and spaces throughout campus. 

Students are also making use of the newly opened Mary Kawena Pukui Learning Commons, where they are researching, creating and working together in its new spaces.

Take a look at photos from the start of the school year at Punahou.
