🪶 Kīhei Tying Ceremony
Before the ceremony begins, our graduates take part in something deeply meaningful — the tying of the kīhei.
A symbol of achievement and transition, the kīhei represents the journey each student has walked to get here — and the path that lies ahead.
In this quiet and powerful moment, graduates often seek out a faculty or staff member who supported them, asking them to tie their kīhei. It’s a time to reflect, to give thanks, and to honor the growth that took place here at Windward CC.
To our graduating class — you carry with you more than a kīhei. You carry the strength, knowledge, and aloha of this place into all that comes next.
