I am Kumu Keola Morales, a native of Hilo, Hawaiʻi. I am a father and a first grade teacher here at Ke Kula ʻO Nāwahīokalaniʻōpuʻu. I was a student at the Pūnana Leo o Hilo, Ke Kula Kaiapuni o Keaukaha, and Ke Kula ʻO Nāwahīokalaniʻōpuʻu. I was a teacher at the Pūnana Leo for 9 years. I graduated from Ka Haka ʻUla o Keʻelikōlani and the Kahuawaiola teaching program. I have been teaching here at Ke Kula ʻO Nāwahīokalaniʻōpuʻu since 2011. I am proud to be apart of this team that is striving to grow and teach our next generation of speakers.
