School Information

- School Colors
Scarlet, Blue, and White Scarlet represents the blood of the martyrs and their courage in spreading the word of God throughout the world. White stands for goodness, the totality of a world at peace that includes all colors, creeds, and races. Blue is the color of Our Lady. The three colors together represent the colors of the former schools.
- School Seal
The outermost circle contains the name of our school, Chaminade-Madonna College Preparatory, Hollywood, Florida, which is the result of the consolidation of the two schools founded individually in 1960. Father Chaminade, a French priest, founded the Marianists, and Madonna refers to Our Lady. Encircled within is a globe signifying the world in which we live. Centermost is the letter “M” standing for Mary, the Madonna, who is the protectress of the Society of Mary. Radiating out from the center are semicircular arrows reflecting our desire to share throughout the entire world the knowledge and love that Mary has for her son, Jesus. The school’s motto, Ad Mundum Meliorem, stands atop the globe expressing this desire.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or information:
“Their school a crowd, his master solitude;
Through Jonathan Swift’s dark grove he passed, and there
Plucked bitter wisdom that enriched his blood.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Phenomenal nature shadows him wherever he goes. Clouds in the staring sky transmit to one another, by means of slow signs, incredibly detailed information regarding him. His inmost thoughts are discussed at nightfall, in manual alphabet, by darkly gesticulating trees. Pebbles or stains or sunflecks form patterns representing in some awful way messages which he must intercept. Everything is a cipher and of everything he is the theme.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
