🦅Mascot: "Pueos"

Meet the Pueo, a mascot that's definitely worth a hoot The Pueo is a Hawaiian short-eared owl, and it's not just any ordinary owl – it's steeped in cultural significance and is considered a sacred animal in Hawaiian tradition. This cute and wise bird is the mascot for several schools in Hawaii, including UH West Oahu and Maui Prep.
