Text:
Our beloved hala tree stands tall
Protecting us,
Nourishing us.
We are the children of the new spring,
We are the children of ka Punahou.
As the waters of ka Punahou shimmer with knowledge,
Children dance and play around our campus,
Waiting with eager faces.
As the golden sun sets,
Soon a new day will begin,
We entrust the school with our aloha,
Our love for all that we learn.
- Alina Kinzer, Punahou class of 2030
