School Mascot
The shark is the "aumakua" or guardian spirit of Pearl Harbor. In an old Hawaiian legend, Pu\'uloa is the name for Pearl Harbor. The area was once ruled by a chiefess called Ka\'ahu. Ka\'ahu lived beside a little stream that flowed into Pu\'uloa. Often Ka\'ahu and her brother went down to the harbor and swam for hours. A shark god liked to watch them. "They should be sharks and live in Pu\'uloa" , thought the shark god and changed their form. Ka\'ahu was changed into a shark along with her brother. The shark sister and her brother protect the waters of Pearl Harbor.
