The Reverend David Awai Kauka Kaapu

Haili School Founder Kaapu

1923-1979

Haili Christian School opened its doors in September of 1978 to 2 teachers and 13 students.  Inspired to reach children and families in our community with the joy and saving grace found in a relationship with Jesus, the Reverend David Ka'apu put together a team of educators and supporters to carry out the mission of Haili Christian School.  Today we celebrate God's faithfulness through the years and rejoice in the growth He continues to provide.  Through education and personal relationships our students will discover how great our God is; how vast His love for them.  It was the prayer of our founder that God would enable the leadership and staff of Haili Christian School to live lives worthy of the gospel of Jesus, in the witness of His love, and in humility be examples for children to follow.
