My name is Pōmaikaʻi Ravey and I teach the upper grades at ʻAlo Kēhau o ka ʻĀina Mauna. I am originally from Kunia, Oʻahu, though I have spent many years living in Hilo. I joined the Hawaiian Language movement at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo in the year 2009 and I started teaching at ʻAlo Kēhau in 2017. I have two children. They are students at ʻAlo Kēhau and Pūnana Leo o Waimea. I am honored to be able to work with the first high school class of ʻAlo Kēhau this year.
