Steven L. ’70, Kori K., Alex M. ’08 and Alina K. ’11 Ching

Steve didn’t know anything about Punahou before entering in the seventh grade. But his parents, Francis M.S. and Lorraine L. Ching, graduates of Kamehameha and Roosevelt, did. They both recognized Punahou as providing the best education in Hawai‘i, and even though the cost of Punahou was a struggle, they considered it worthwhile and made many sacrifices to afford it.

Steve went on to earn a bachelor’s degree from Claremont McKenna College and a law degree from the University of California at Davis, King Hall Law School, where his wife, Kori, a native of Santa Barbara, California, also earned her bachelor’s degree. Their two children, Alex M. ’08 and Alina K. ’11, also attended Punahou. They both earned athletic scholarships to attend and earn bachelor's degrees from the University of San Diego and Pepperdine University, where Alina also earned a master’s of science. Punahou has had an important impact on the Ching family, and they continue to believe in the importance of academics, athletics and the excellence of Punahou. By contributing to this fund, they hope to help make Punahou accessible to all deserving student athletes regardless of financial ability.
