The School Emblem
The school emblem is a round logo with the name of the school, La Salette of Roxas across the circumference. Below is the city address, Roxas, Isabela.
At the center of the school emblem lies the La Salette Cross. The La Salette cross,is worn by the Blessed Virgin Mary, was unusual because it has a hammer and pincer. The hammer symbolizes the sinner nailing Jesus on the cross by human sins and the pincer represents the humanity trying to remove the nails from the cross by our virtuous life and fidelity to Jesus. This cross was seen hanging on a chain around the neck of the Blessed Virgin.
Below the cross lies the motto of the school, Pro deo et Patria, an Italian phrase meaning For God and Country.
