Our Crest

Our Latin motto is Veritas Virtus Libertas (Truth Virtue Liberty)

• Blue represents truth.

• The white shield represents the noble pursuit of virtue.

• Red rounds out the red, white, and blue of our American heritage that is rooted in liberty.

The trident represents the Trivium or “three ways” of a classical education.

The anchor represents the maritime heritage of the Hampton Roads community.

The laurel wreath, traditionally made from the bay laurel (Laurus nobilis), is the classical symbol of victory and honor.
