3 SCHOOL CREST AND MOTTO:
The school crest consists of a Book, Hoe and a Deer on to of an Elephant.
The Book signifies a store of knowledge that the youths must identify themselves with, the Hoe reminds the students of a common traditional tool that serves as souses of wealth and food to the rural poor and the Deer standing on the back of an Elephant, explains that even though the elephant is a huge animal, it is ruled by the Deer, which is quite a small animal compared to the size of the Elephant. This demonstrates that it is not in all things that size is paramount.
The Crest is supported by the motto of the school as “BE THE BEST OF YOURSELF”.
