KS Varsity Cheer Brings Home Koa
KS Varsity Cheerleaders with 2nd Place State Competition Trophy
On Oct 21, 2022, the Kamehameha Cheerleading Program swept the ILH Cheer Competition, with their Intermediate, Junior Varsity, and Varsity teams all placing first. The Varsity Team competed at the HHSAA States Cheer Competition on Nov 8, 2022, placing second in the all-girls category.
“This was the first time in 6 years that varsity has won ILH champs and the first time in 10 years that varsity has brought a koa trophy back to the hill. If that doesn’t speak for itself, then I don’t know what does! … It’s hard work and dedication that allows us to improve as a team and keep moving forward,” said Junior Abigail Beair.
Junior Kelsey Asuncion believes their lively energy and connection with one another drove them toward excellence this year. She said, “Cheer is more than just the skills that we show. It’s more about working as one team and doing the best that we can while also having fun.”
For anyone looking to cheer in the future, senior Kaʻena Fermantez, who has been in the program since 7th grade, said, “My advice is to be confident in yourself. Even if you’re not, just smile and you’ll get there! Cheer will be hard but it is worth it.”
Ho‘omaika‘i to the Kamehameha Cheerleading Program for their amazing season!

Hi! My name is Bella, and this is my first year on Ka Mō’ī. I'm currently a senior, graduating in 2023, and wanted to get more involved in school news and events, as it's my final year on the hill! Though I have always enjoyed writing, I love exploring other creative outlets like painting, cooking, and attempting to learn the piano. After high school, I hope to pursue my passions further as a Communications major in Boston! Though I'm not too sure what the future has in store for me, I couldn't be more excited about what's ahead! However, while I'm certainly looking forward to life after high school, I want to be sure to make my last year at Kamehameha as memorable as possible, and hope to share that school spirit with anyone reading! Please feel free to reach out to me if you ever need anything or want to get involved. Mahalo!!
