Seal
The full circle made of laurel and gear represents the dual academic and technical curriculum offered by the school. The star, the anchor and the heart represent respectively the three theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity. The shining star also symbolizes Mary, the star of the sea and the Help of Christians. The flaming heart stands for the most Sacred Heart of Jesus to whom Don Bosco was so devout. Below the anchor is the Sea that symbolizes the fullness of life. The pine trees represent the literal meaning of the founder's name BOSCO which means woods. The high mountains stand for perfection and the Educative Pastoral Community (EPC) should strive to attain. These are expressed in the school's motto MELIORA ELIGO which means "I choose the better things".

Famous quotes containing the word seal:
“To believe in something not yet proved and to underwrite it with our lives: it is the only way we can leave the future open. Man, surrounded by facts, permitting himself no surmise, no intuitive flash, no great hypothesis, no risk, is in a locked cell. Ignorance cannot seal the mind and imagination more surely.”
—Lillian Smith (1897–1966)
“Don’t forget that even our most obscene vices nearly always bear the seal of sullen greatness.”
—Gesualdo Bufalino (b. 1920)
“What is the seal of liberation?—No longer to be ashamed in our own presence.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
