St. Cornelius Logo

The logo of St. Cornelius Catholic School tries to express the proclaimed goal of the School. The Latin word ‘Excelsior’ means ‘Ever Better’ or ‘Aspire to greater things’. The pursuit of excellence calls for a spirit that is never satisfied with the minimum. The idea of turning out to be the best person you can be, in every field, should fire the enthusiasm of every student and teacher of St. Cornelius Catholic School. The colors used in the logo are the colors of the school: blue, gold, and maroon. The cross signifies that St. Cornelius is a Catholic School driven by Catholic values. The pursuit of excellence calls for a lot of hard work and personal sacrifice on the part of each student and teacher. The cross also stands for sacrifice, toil, fatigue, ‘sweat and blood’. If one is willing to toil and make personal sacrifices, one is assured of success in the pursuit of excellence. This success is expressed in the ‘laurel’ that forms part of the logo. Laurel is an evergreen shrub with smooth, shiny leaves, used by ancient Romans and Greeks as an emblem of victory, success and distinction.
