Sports
Starting in the 1960s there was a decline in athletics which was exacerbated by the opening of the Kaiser High School district in 1971. Kalani currently holds the OIA Eastern division title in girls varsity soccer. In the school year 2005-2006, the girls varsity basketball team won the State Division II Championship and in 2007-2008 won the OIA championship. The girls volleyball team won the OIA Championship in the 2003 season. However, the school's most notable team is their men's soccer team, which placed second in the OIA and in the State in 2007. The school's tennis team also took the 2010 season OIA Championship and was runner-up in the 2010 State championships. Kalani tennis boasted a back-to-back singles state champion from 2009–2010, Jared Spiker. In 2009, Spiker became the first O‘ahu Interscholastic Association player to win a state singles tennis title in 26 years.

He at length our good will sever.”
