The School Crest
The school crest consists of a human figure with outstretched arms, and a peak of excellence balancing a circle of all roundness against a blue background. The blue background denotes the depth of the oceans and the learning offers. Gold symbolizes the richness that will be experienced when the peak of excellence is attained. The human figure stands for a person robust in mind and body as he balances academic and cO-curricular achievements in the course of his education.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or crest:
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
“What shall he have that killed the deer?
His leather skin and horns to wear.
Then sing him home.
Take thou no scorn to wear the horn,
It was a crest ere thou wast born;
Thy father’s father wore it,
And thy father bore it.
The horn, the horn, the lusty horn
Is not a thing to laugh to scorn.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
