USI Night High School - The USI-NHS Seal

The USI-NHS Seal

The Night High School Logo is emblazoned in the department's motiff, which is the Sky Blue color. A Moon, along with the five stars around it symbolizes "Night", implying the department's late class schedules. The moon is in its crescent form in the very first quarter of the month, or the start of the lunar month or the New Moon. As the New Moon it symbolizes the bright new beginning of a less-privileged individual to elevate her (perhaps also her family's) status. As crescent, the moon specifically means "waxing", "increasing", and "to grow", as students of the Night High School are urged to grow mentally, physically, and mostly, spiritually. The moon also appears to be embracing the University Seal of Universidad de Sta Isabel, meaning the Night High Student must embrace the Vincentian ideals of the University, for such growths to materialize. The moon and the University seal is surrounded by five stars. Each star is the five-pointed pentacle, that in Christian symbolism means the five wounds of Christ when He died on the cross. As they are Christ's pain sacrifices, the pentacle also symbolizes the pains and sacrifices of a Night High Student who works during the day, and attends classes at night while everybody's at rest as shown by the sleeping expression of the Crescent Moon. The five stars symbolizes the five year levels as the Night High School has a five-year Secondary Education Curricula. Each star is placed in precisely equal distances around the moon, forming the five sturdy spokes of a wheel, meaning support. Like a wheel the Night High School shall roll continuously as long as there are less-privileged women with a dream.
