Verbatim: Closing Kamiloiki, Queen Liliuokalani schools comes at what cost to our keiki?
Karen Tsukiyama / Read
Above: Kamiloiki Elementary School is located on a hill above Kamiloiki Valley, in the heart of Hawaii Kai. It is on the south eastern side of the island of Oahu. Kamiloiki, which means "the little milo tree", opened in 1970 and has a population of close to 400. The symbol of Kamiloiki School is a tri-leaved branch of the Milo tree with a flower in the center. Below: The mural of Queen Liliuokalani is a visible landmark from the street and was a student project to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the school's dedication.

Barb Forsyth / Read
Diamond Head is Oahu's largest tuff cone formed over 100,000 years ago by an active bubbling volcano. Nineteenth century British sailors nicknamed the crater Diamond Head when they mistook the calcite crystals for diamonds. A well-graded trail leads you up the 760-feet summit to a World War II bunker with a bird's eye view of Honolulu.
