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:
“While most of today’s jobs do not require great intelligence, they do require greater frustration tolerance, personal discipline, organization, management, and interpersonal skills than were required two decades and more ago. These are precisely the skills that many of the young people who are staying in school today, as opposed to two decades ago, lack.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
