We encourage all Seniors and Alumni planning to continue their education or vocational training to apply.

Please share this announcement with your Saber family and friends — let’s help every eligible student take advantage of these opportunities.

The JCHS Alumni & Community Foundation Scholarship is the cornerstone of the Foundation’s scholarship program and reflects our commitment to supporting the educational goals of James Campbell High School graduates. This flagship scholarship is offered to deserving Seniors and Alumni who are active Foundation members and have confirmed enrollment in an accredited institution of higher education or vocational training.

As the Foundation’s primary scholarship, it represents our core values and the spirit of our mission—to uplift Sabers through opportunity, encouragement, and community support. Our principles are rooted in Leadership, Perseverance, Integrity, and Saber Pride, and we proudly embrace the theme of “Sabers and all who love Sabers” guiding us as we invest in students and alumni who embody these qualities in their academic, personal, and community endeavors.

The Foundation also hopes that its scholarship recipients will one day give back to their community, just as many of our alumni board members do—continuing the cycle of support, service, and Saber Pride for future generations.

Frelynn and Rogan Kahalehili are proud graduates of James Campbell High School. They were very active in extracurricular and community activities growing up. Rogan is a 30‑year veteran of the Hawai‘i Air National Guard, and Frelynn is a State Farm Insurance Agent who established her office in the community she loves—Ewa Beach. Both are deeply committed to family and community, volunteering with youth groups, school activities, and serving as board members for various nonprofit organizations. They also serve as Board Members of the JCHS Alumni & Community Foundation.

The Kahalehilis seek to provide a scholarship opportunity to a Saber who has attended Campbell for four years and has demonstrated a strong commitment to extracurricular activities and community service.

A proud 1982 graduate of James Campbell High School, Alan H. Kodama has made a strong commitment to give back to his fellow Sabers. Mr. Kodama was a student‑athlete at Campbell and played baseball for four years. He attended the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, graduating in 1987 with a Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) in Finance. He is the CEO & President of PacStar Financial Group, with offices in Honolulu, Pearl City, Kaua‘i, and Maui. Mr. Kodama extends his appreciation and gratitude to his clients for their loyalty and to his team for their continued commitment to excellence. He enjoys traveling, farming, and outdoor activities.

He serves as a JCHS Alumni & Community Foundation Board Member and is also an officer, holding the position of Vice President, as well as co‑chairing the annual golf tournament. He is passionate about the ideals of Desire, Discipline, and Determination as key contributors to personal success.

Mr. Kodama seeks to provide a scholarship opportunity to a graduating Senior from Campbell who played a varsity‑level sport and is committed to attending a four‑year college or university.

Frances Rivero graduated from James Campbell High School’s first graduating class in 1965. She dedicated her life to the betterment of the Ewa Beach community. Frances, lovingly known as Aunty Ana, was a founding member of the James Campbell High School Alumni & Community Foundation and a founding member and director of the Ewa Beach Boys & Girls Club (EBBGC). She worked tirelessly to support the community’s youth and led the campaign to build the EBBGC.

For more than 20 years, the EBBGC has provided a much‑needed after‑school safe haven where children can receive homework help, develop leadership and social skills, and build lifelong friendships. Frances’s skills and dedication led her from her role as EBBGC Director to her promotion as the Boys & Girls Club of Hawaii Director of Operations, and she continued to serve on the EBBGC Advisory Board in community development well into her retirement.

Frances’s love for the Ewa Beach community also inspired her to serve as the Weed and Seed Hawai‘i (WSH) President and Chairperson. Through her involvement with WSH and the Hoakalei Cultural Foundation, Frances helped beautify the Ewa Beach community, reduce crime, and perpetuate Hawaiian culture. She was instrumental in fostering partnerships among Ewa Beach organizations, including EBBGC and the Hoakalei Cultural Foundation.

Frances inspired many through her love for children, her service to the community, and her courage to do good work for the masses. To honor her legacy, the ‘Ohana of the late Frances Rivero seeks to provide a scholarship opportunity to a graduating Senior or Alumni, with preference given to current or past members of the Ewa Beach Boys & Girls Club.

The Mahoe family, in partnership with the Foundation, established the John & Lei Mahoe Aloha Legacy Scholarship in 2023. John is a proud 1977 graduate of James Campbell High School. He and his wife, Lei, along with their ‘Ohana, currently live in Las Vegas but still have strong roots in Hawai‘i and are ardent sports fans. The family believes in the value of ALOHA—living life with respect and love for one another. In this spirit, the Mahoe family supports the Foundation and its mission to “foster and nurture the growth and development of James Campbell High School and the community through the active involvement of its students, faculty, alumni, and other individuals committed to lifelong learning.”

The Mahoe family seeks to provide a scholarship opportunity to a graduating female Senior of Hawaiian descent who participated in any sport while in high school.
