We are excited to celebrate Maryknoll Lei Day 2026 with our Grade 6–12 Division on Friday, April 24, at 10:15am in the Maryknoll Community Center.

This year’s theme, He Moʻolelo Kō Ka Lei — Every Lei Has a Story — highlights the meaning, tradition, and storytelling behind the lei, an enduring symbol of aloha, connection, and cultural identity.

Through music, hula, and student performances, our community comes together to honor Hawaiʻi’s rich heritage and the stories that bind us.

Lei Day is a collaborative effort between our Hawaiian Studies program, cultural clubs, and middle and high school students. The program will feature the Lei Day Court representing the Hawaiian Islands, along with traditional hula, musical presentations, and multicultural showcases from student groups.

We invite our Spartan ʻOhana to join us in celebrating this meaningful tradition and supporting our students as they share the stories behind each lei.
