ATP Class Reps

Kehau Haia

Aloha Class of 2019! My name is Kehau Haia, and I’m so honored to be one of your ATP reps for this upcoming Senior year.

I too am a proud graduate of Kamehameha Schools and I can’t begin to express the incredible gratitude and joy the day we received “the letter” accepting my son as a student, as well as a boarder!! Our lives changed forever – for the better!!

We relocated from Las Vegas (our home of 18 years) to Hawaii. It’s definitely been a challenge returning home, but I look at how my son has benefitted from the legacy provided by our beloved Princess, and realize it’s more than worth it. I truly believe our keiki have been given so many incredible opportunities as a student of Kamehameha, and I look forward to the memories and friendships that Senior year will bring to us as a class. From Senior Lū‘au to Song Contest, this year will undoubtedly be a busy one for us all. I’ve met many of our parents at previous year’s events and I look forward to meeting many more this year.

I would like to take this time to thank each and every one of you in advance for your support during this Senior year! Be sure to watch for our class email blasts from PAR every Wednesday.

IMUA Class of 2019!!

Mailelani Cox

Aloha! I am Mailelani Cox. My husband John and I have three children: Kody, a senior at Oregon State University, Taylor (KS 2020) and Toshi who attends Assets School (2021).

Although we are from Kaua’i, during the school year we call Kaka’ako home. Taylor was graciously blessed to attend KS in 2014 as a 7th grade boarder, so Toshi and I moved to Oahu so he could attend Assets School as a 6th grader. With all intents and purposes, the plan was to stay for his 6th, 7th and 8th grade years then move back home to Kaua’i where he would finish out high school while his “tita” would continue to be part of Princess Pauahi’s amazing legacy..and we all live happily ever after. Well. . . Lol!!!

While dad continues to hold down the fort on Kaua’i Monday through Friday, it’s safe to say Taylor will remain a “day student” and we’ll call both Oahu and Kaua’i home for next three years. Yay!!! Because now I look forward to working alongside Chad and Momi and the ‘ohana of our class of 2020 “Soldiers.” ‘A‘ole poina nā kānaka I ka nui lokomaika‘i ona. Mahalo Pauahi!!! #imuaksk2020

Trinidad Nelson

Trini, aka “Momi,” is married to retired HFD captain Glin Nelson and mother of three children: Sedona-Ariz or “Kale’a” (KS 2020) is a thoughtful, bold, energetic and self-reliant young woman. Twila Kawai, who holds a Bachelor’s in Social Work, works with parents and children at INPEACE. Kanaloa Kawai a skilled master carpenter and a put into play football coach at Wai’anae High School (Momi’s alma mater). She is also a “grammie” to Jordhan, (KS 2021) & Jaedhan Spencer and Elana Kawai.

Momi previously served as 2020 class parent for two years in middle school. She is a former Early Childhood Parent as teacher educator working with families on the West side and is working towards finishing her Business Administrative/Hawaiian Studies degree this fall. She is also a small business owner which markets and educates others about sustainable trending products.

She is looking forward to serving class of 2020 as an ATP class rep. More importantly, honoring and serving Ali‘i Pauahi in perpetuating her endowment vision. In her opinion, Pauahi was a model of “Aloha Aku, Aloha Mai” giving and sharing with aloha. She said, “If we emulate Pauahi’s characteristics, we will pākōlea our own family legacy of contributing Hawaiian children.”

Hence, a stronger life giving Lāhui o Hawai‘i.

Chad Atkins

Aloha, Chad Atkins here and this will be my first year as an ATP Rep for the Class of 2020. My lovely wife Larni and I are very grateful to live in Pu‘unui along with our three strapping young boys, Timothy, Nicolas, and Matthew.

I have been working in the construction industry for the last 17 years as an electrical designer, project manager, and estimator with a LEED AP designation. For the last 9 years, I have been with Boss Communication Technologies. I also work as an active real estate salesperson with Blue Ribbon Realty in my free time. Larni works as an assistant teacher at Pu‘uhale Elementary School in Kalihi.

Our oldest, Timothy, will be starting his first year at Kapi‘olani Community College. Nicolas has moved on from Paki and will start his Junior year up at Konia. He is a trumpet section leader and learning leadership skills in Kalalea. He also joined Concert Glee and is looking forward to an eventful year as he also will march in the 130th Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena California with the Hawaii All State Marching Band. Matthew will start his first year at Stevenson Middle School and will be taught by the same band teacher his older brothers had when they attended Stevenson.

A little about me: I love Larni and my boys very much. ‘Ohana is a very high priority for me. I really like coconut and dream about being an aviator someday. In the meantime, I work towards being an example as a man of God, and pledge to contribute all I can to support the Class of 2020 and hope the next two years will be dynamic and memorable for our haumana as they prepare for their new lives as good and industrious men and women.

When our schedules arenʻt packed with school, soccer, basketball, or coaching, we enjoy hiking, watching movies, and hanging out with each other. We, the Santos ‘ohana are honored and blessed to be a part of the Kamehameha ‘ohana and look forward to growing a strong bond with the classes of 2022 & 2026!

Mahalo ke Ali‘i Pauahi for the amazing opportunities that are made possible for the keiki of Hawai‘i.

Amalie Monlux

My son has been part of the class of 2022 since kindergarten, so it is hard to believe that they are starting high school! I’ve enjoyed getting to know students and their parents as our class has grown.

When they were in 7th grade, I was ATP rep with Ka‘ula, so I am excited to be serving with her again.

My husband and I are grateful to be raising our four children in Hawai‘i (even though only one is at Kamehameha…), and our hobbies mostly include trying to keep up with all of them and their activities!

I look forward to another successful school year!

Jo’el Williams

Aloha. My name is Jo’el and this is my first year serving as an ATP Representative for the Class of 2022. Will and I are parents of four beautiful keiki: Jadelyn “Kealo” (KS ʻ22), Kapiʻo (Papa ʻEwalu), Kalei (Papa ʻEono) and Kalama (preschool). Transitioning from kaiapuni, we were thankful when Kealo was accepted into Kamehameha Schools in the 7th grade.

Besides being a full-time mom, I am a mail carrier and shop steward at the Pearl City post office. Between work and balancing various activities, a lot of our time is dedicated to our hula hālau. Hula is not only a past time that my children and I can share together, but it also keeps us rooted in our culture.

I am extremely thankful that Kealo is a haumana of Kamehameha Schools and I am blessed to be an ATP Representative for the Class of 2022!

I Mua WA22IORS!

Me kealoha,
Jo’el

We look forward to an awesome year!

I, along with Denice and Sarah, are looking forward to meeting you and are excited to enjoy the experiences while building lifelong relationship.

Let the journey begin…..

Jessica Ahmad

Welcome to 7th Grade!!!

Where has the time gone?!? I can’t believe that the kids grew up in a flash and our class is already half way to graduation! With this new school year approaching I am excited to get to know all the new incoming families as well as continuing the relationships I have built over the years.

My husband (Po‘okela) and I have been blessed that Shyla has been able to be apart of Pauahi’s vision since kindergarten. We will also be welcoming our second daughter (Amia Rose) this fall. Family is very important to us and we would do anything for our daughters.

Over the years I have been a “behind the scenes” parent that would help out with anything our class needed. I am honored to be able to step out of the shadows and be apart of ATP this year with Jenn and Sarah. Together, we can’t wait to serve our 2024 ‘ohana!

Jennifer Anderson

Aloha Class of 2024! I am excited to be your ATP Class Rep with Jess and Sarah this year! We have big shoes to follow after a few awesome parents also once held these positions. We are poised and ready for the opportunity to provide you with meaningful and memorable family gatherings and look forward to working alongside you throughout the year.

Our beloved Pauahi has blessed each of us with the gift of this wonderful education and experience at the Kamehameha Schools. My daughters have been blessed to call this place home since kindergarten. I, on the other hand, not until 9th grade. But nonetheless, Kamehameha has become a very sentimental place for my ‘ohana and I hope you feel the same by the end of our school year.

Sarah Ulep

Samantha has been blessed with Pauahi’s legacy since the 4th grade. I am honored to serve as your Class of 2024 ATP representative, as a small way of giving back. With the help of Jennifer and Jessica, we hope to bring our class together to build relationships and memories to last a lifetime.

We are children of a living legacy
Let us go forth together as one
Cleanse our hearts of God, revive us anew
Ho‘āla hou e Kamehameha.

Jolene Imada

Aloha,
My name is Jolene Imada. My husband David and I have two daughters, Chloe (KS 2025) and Stella (KS 2024). We spend most of our time shuttling the kiddies to and from softball, soccer, ukulele and hula to name a few.

Sometimes I wonder why we jam pack ourselves with so many activities until I see the smiles on my kids’ faces and all the fun they are having. The joy they have makes me and husband happy and that is all that matters.

This will be our fifth school year as 2025 ATP reps. We have some new ideas for this year and hope you all can join us on the journey.

I Mua Kamehameha!

Jamie Tanoura

Aloha! My name is Jamie Tanoura. My husband Kristian and I have three children, Anuhea (KS ’19), Isaac (KS’23), and Trevor (KS’25). We are an active family and have a busy schedule with church, sports, school, and life, like most families.

After attending the kindergarten welcome event in 2010, we knew that we wanted to help other families feel as welcomed into the Kamehameha ‘ohana as we did. We began volunteering with the Class of 2023 and learned so much from those parent representatives.

I am truly honored to volunteer as parent representative for the Class of 2025.
