The school colors were derived from the ahupua'a which is the pie shaped section of land from the mountain to the sea. Up in the mountains, are the green maile leaves we use for leis and the gray and silver mists. Down by the shore is the teal blue of the ocean and the navy blue of the deeper water.

Our logo shows the outline of Mount Hualalai with a rising sun behind it. Hualalai, was the wife of Hawaii, the navigator who with his Polynesian explorers, discovered Hawaii. Hualalai gave birth to many sons and when she died she was buried at the foot of the mountain that was named in her honor. Her name means "swelling" as in pregnancy. We felt that we too were giving birth to a new dream, a new school. We chose that name not knowing that one day we would be nestled securely at the foot of the mountain.

Since 1996 we have been an established member of the Kona community, surrounded by the beauty of our Hawaiian ahupua'a. Our job now is to maintain the positive nature of the work that has been done, the quality of our education, and expand our facilities to offer the Hualalai Academy experience to more children.
