Pūʻulu Kauila
The kauila represents the light of excellence. Capable minds and skillful hands yield excellent works. From the skillful hands of a carver, ihe (spear), pāhoa (dagger), hohoa (kapa beater), ōʻō (farming/digging stick), ʻauamo (carrying stick), and kua kuhu (anvil) were shaped. The Hawaiian value associated with kauila is poʻo kela (excellence). We envision a community of learners that seek excellence in all endeavors.
