ATP Class Reps

Terry Visperas

Aloha & Welcome Class of 2021 ‘Ohana! I’m Terry Visperas, dad to David “Nainoa” Visperas.

Thank you once again for this incredible opportunity to continue to serve as your co-ATP 2021 representative with Heather Stone-Kalani and Joe Awong, Jr. Together, we are honored to continue the energy and work that other 2021 ATP representatives have contributed over the years. Our goal continues to be building long-lasting friendships, positive ‘OHANA experiences, and well-rounded teens. Together, we will fulfill the legacy of our beloved princess, PAUAHI.

Please get involved! Mahalo in advance to all of the “AMA21NG” 2021 families for participating and volunteering. With your kokua, our class advisor, and our awesome class parents, it’s going to be another fun, busy and rewarding year!

Heather Stone-Kalani

Aloha!
Thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Heather Stone-Kalani and my son, Bronson, is starting his third year at Kamehameha Kapālama. Our little ‘ohana consist of my husband, Ka‘aumoana, myself, Bronson (14), Uluhani (8), and Olivia (2).

My goal as an ATP rep is to create a welcoming environment for all of our 8th grade ‘ohana while developing bonds that our students can strengthen from now until their last days at Kamehameha.

Please always feel free to reach out to myself or Terry so we can all make this year a success for our keiki.

Warmest Regards,
Heather

Joe Awong Jr.

Aloha! My name is Joe Awong Jr. and I am father to La‘akea. I have been active with his education and sports since he was at Punana Leo O Kawaiaha‘o.

I believe that the best thing about being an ATP class rep is being able to give back for what our Princess has given to us. Being an ATP rep has helped me share in my son’s experience at KS and that is worth all the volunteering hours I put in.

This year my goal is to bring our 2021 class even closer together.

Denice Iwamoto

Aloha, my name is Denice and my son, Nicholas Ah Nee, and I have been graciously blessed to be a part of such a wonderful class. I am humbly honored and thankful for the privilege and opportunity to be an ATP representative for the class of 2023. I look forward to representing our class along side our other amazing ATP representatives and giving back to Ke Ali’i Pauahi for all that has been bestowed upon our children and our families.

It’s going to be an amazing year filled with lots of laughs, great talks and many wonderful memories to cherish. Mahalo!

Sheri & Darren Nii

This is Sheri and Darren’s first year as ATP class reps. They are parents to Caiya (KSK 2018) and Cyrus (KSK 2023). Their goal as ATP reps this year is to have fun making memories with the class.

Christine (Ulu) Dash

Aloha ‘Ohana 2026!
I am Christine “Ulu” Dash (KS ’92) & I am blessed to be able to serve our class for a third year. My husband Mike (KS ’95) & I have two awesome boys, Dakota (KS 2026) and Drew (KS 2031).

I enjoy being an ATP Rep because it provides the opportunity to do my part in lifting the lahui in support of our childrens academic, social & emotional well-being. They are fortunate to be beneficiaries of Pauahi’s Legacy and have seven more years together to build relationships and connections, we can strengthen their futures by providing the best experiences we possibly can! She would like to communicate and establish relationships with the 6th grade teachers so they can rely on the ATP reps as a means for communicating between KES and our ‘ohana.  She’d also like to have kumu attend a class event as she feels it makes the keiki so proud to see their kumu interact outside of the class environment. She has many other ideas for the class to come together and work as a team.

Hanae Gouveia

Aloha! My name is Hanae and this will be my fourth year serving as Class of 2026 ATP representative. My husband Keli‘i and I have two daughters, Camryn (KS 2026) and Cara (age 7). We keep ourselves busy with soccer, volleyball, hula, Tahitian, and spending time with family and friends!

The 2026 ATP team is looking forward to planning an awesome year of fellowship, service, and fun!

Michele Cadiente-Cargo

This is Michele’s first year as ATP class rep. She and her husband Sev are parents to Macey (2020) and Connor Dane (KSK 2026). They are thankful for the opportunity to have Connor Dane attend Kamehameha and feel that this is a great way to get involved and give back.

Michele’s goal for this year is to continue building the relationships between our families and to encourage more families to get involved because it really does take a village.

She says “We are our children’s first teachers. Let’s grow and learn together with our keiki as we graciously accept this opportunity to be part of the Kamehameha ‘ohana.”
