Kanani Souza, who led Kamehameha to a state football title in 2004 and was the school's athletic director for the past five years, announced his retirement as AD, effective July 31.
A former University of Hawaii football assistant, Souza came to the Kapalama campus as head coach and assistant AD in 1996.
He amassed a record of 87-28-2 and led the Warriors to the 2004 state and Interscholastic League of Honolulu titles, their first of each since the 1970s.
"It has been an honor and a privilege to work with all the student-athletes, faculty and staff of Kamehameha, especially the coaches and athletic department staff. It has been a great experience and I feel very blessed, but for me, it has never been about the victories and championships, but rather all the relationships that I've been able to foster over the years that I will truly remember," Souza, a 1963 Kamehameha alum, said in a press statement.
Souza spent 12 years as an assistant coach at UH. He was also an assistant at the University of Colorado for one season and at his college alma mater, the University of Northern Colorado, for five. He was also an Oregon State graduate assistant for one season.
