Pronunciation: “Kay-Ho”
Kahoa was named for Mrs. Evelyn Kahoa who joined Lincoln Public Schools in 1931 as a teacher at Longfellow and then Sheridan. In 1942 she went to Norwood Park as assistant principal and moved up to principal in 1946. In 1949 she became principal of both Bethany and Riley at the same time. This arrangement lasted until 1954 when her focus was narrowed to Bethany only. Mrs. Kahoa retired from Bethany in 1971.
