[edit] Mascots and School Pride
Kapaa High School is home to one of the original Warriors mascot in Hawaii. The school sported the colors of green and white, which is reflected in the campus buildings, art, uniforms, and banners. Very much like in the University of Hawaii at Manoa, the terms "Warrior Pride" and "We Believe in Our Warriors" have been some of the common catch phrases.
On top of the school mascots each class picks it's own mascot to represent their particular incoming year. For example the mascot for the class of 2002 was the seal, class of 2003 was the dragon, 2004 was the "honu" or turtle, 2006 was the tiger. These mascots were often the main symbols in the class banners for assemblies and class competitions.
