The Maui Prep Hale (House) System is a transformative initiative designed to unite students, families, faculty, and staff across all grade levels, fostering unity, belonging, and spirited engagement. Rooted in Hawaiian values and inspired by the 10 Commitments to Living Aloha, this system supports student growth in character, academics, service, and school spirit through friendly competition, intentional mentoring, and shared goals. It also encourages greater participation, volunteerism, and fundraising, all vital to enriching the Maui Prep experience.
There are four Hales, representing "One 'Ohana":
- Golden Torches (Gold/Ochre): Symbolizing passion, brightness, and vision, Golden Torches are radiant, determined, and embody purpose and leadership.
- Sapphire Waves (Aqua/Blue): Representing intelligence, adaptability, and harmony, Sapphire Waves are dynamic, welcoming, and powerful, meeting challenges with resilience and a spirit of collaboration.
- Obsidian Mountains (Black): Symbolizing resilience, clarity, and inner strength, Obsidian Mountains are solid, thoughtful, and reliable, providing a strong foundation for others and upholding high standards of responsibility and truth.
- Silver Stars (Silver/White): Signifying clarity, intuition, and imagination, Silver Stars are dreamers, thinkers, and guides who pursue understanding with curiosity and grace.
Each Hale is led by a Faculty House Leader who serves as a mentor and community builder, coordinating meetings, spirit events, and service projects. One to two Lead Parents assist with family engagement, decorations, events, and fundraising. Students and siblings are sorted into the same Hale from preschool through high school, and new members are ceremoniously sorted annually.
Activities include weekly assemblies, house chant development, Spirit Week/Homecoming challenges, and community building/service projects. Houses earn points for academics, participation, service, and leadership, with the year-end Hale Cup awarded to the winning House. The system's vision is to build a stronger, more connected ‘ohana where leadership, legacy, and the spirit of Aloha thrive.
