What does it mean to be Purple?
Purple is among the rarest colors in nature, reminding us to seek out the “purple-ness” in our haumāna–the things that make each student rare and unique.
Maiʻa means banana ma ka ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi. It references the purple flower of the banana tree.
Maiʻa Stamps
We use a digital print of the maiʻa plant to bring ʻāina into a digital realm. We do not mean to replace the physical world, but use it as a way to keep us grounded.
