President Latham, Principal Carrera, the Senior Deans, and the entire Punahou community are excited to honor and celebrate our graduating seniors. We look forward to marking this milestone with meaningful traditions and joyful events as the Class of 2026 prepares for commencement and the exciting journey ahead.
This page is designed for the students and families of the Class of 2026 to help guide end-of-year planning. It will be updated regularly with the latest details, including messages from the senior deans and important information about upcoming events.
Bringing these special celebrations to life takes a community effort. We are seeking more than 200 volunteers to assist with Baccalaureate, Commencement, and the Post-Graduation Event. We also welcome donations of greenery and floral arrangements to help create the stunning décor at Central Union Church and the Stan Sheriff Center. Monetary contributions in support of the Post-Graduation Event are greatly appreciated as well. Mahalo!
