The school logo has a lamp positioned above an open book. The lighted lamp is symbolic of illumination and dispelling darkness. The book symbolizes knowledge which is the source of enrichment for the mind. The school is a fount of knowledge that provides learning coupled with enlightenment thus expelling the darkness of ignorance. The light promises moral, social and economic well-being. The emblem reflects our endless pursuit of knowledge, and the creation and dissemination of it.

LEAD, KINDLY LIGHT

Lead, Kindly Light,

Amid th’encircling gloom,

Lead Thou me on!

The night is dark,

And I am far from home;

Lead Thou me on!

Keep Thou my feet;

I do not ask to see, the distant scene;

One step enough for me.

I was not e-ver thus,

Nor prayed that Thou

Shouldst lead me on;

I loved to choose, and see my path;

But now lead Thou me on!

I loved the garish day,

And, spite of fears, pride ruled my will.

Remember not past years!

Lead, Kindly Light,

Amid th’encircling gloom,

Lead Thou me on!
