Friends and Donors

In 1834, the students of Lahainaluna made history by publishing Ka Lama Hawaiʻi, the first newspaper in the islands. Today, we carry that torch forward. As a student-led publication, we are dedicated to providing a voice for our school and the Lahaina community, but we cannot do it alone.
 

Your support as a Friend (advertising) or donor (direct support) ensures that our student journalists have the tools, technology, and opportunities they need to tell the stories of today while honoring the traditions of yesterday. Mahalo for being part of our story.
 

Ka Lama Hawaiʻi is more than just a school newspaper. Itʻs is a learning laboratory for the next generation of writers, photographers, and civic leaders.

When you become a Friend or Donor, your contribution directly supports:

​

• Production Costs: Keeping our digital platform live and accessible.

• Equipment: Providing cameras, tablets, and recorders for student field reporting.

• Education: Funding workshops and journalism conferences for our student writing staff.
