Our History and Traditions

News writing is kind of a tradition here in Lahaina. In fact, the first newspaper in Hawai'i was published right here, by students, on the campus of Lahainaluna in 1834. Our paper, also run by students of Lahainaluna, is our way of sharing breath with that past and the students that came before us.

​

In this spirit, out students thought that an "about page" for Ka Lama was not adequate given  the rich history of our campus. One short blurb could never capture the history of Lahaianluna--a history that spans nearly two centuries. For this reason, this page will be dedicated to on-going, student-written research about our paper and our campus. 

​

All said, are you a student at Lahainaluna? Do you have a piece of writing to share with us? If so, please submit your writing to kalamahawaii.info@gmail.com. We will consider all submissions as long as they are student-authored and appropriate.
