THE SCHOOL EMBLEM
The emblem of the Congregation and the motto inscribed on it ‘TOIL, FAITH, PROGRESS’ appropriately characterizes our institutes. The Sisters of St. Charles Borromeo faithful to the motto, live by their faith and work constantly as they focus on an ardent desire for progress.
The spirit of St. Charles High School is symbolically expressed in its emblem. It is nothing but the spirit of the life of St. Charles who had lived in the 15th century in total commitment and faithfulness to the will of God. The same spirit has been passed on to us down the ages and is well depicted in the Coat of Arms.
The center of the emblem is occupied with the shield. The color blue depicts the color of the mantle of Mother Mary. The red color of the shield characterizes the loving heart of Jesus and His sacrifice for the redemption of humankind. The golden beehive is flanked by bees of golden hue on either side. Above these are found the letters S.C.B. (ST. CHARLES BORROMEO ) in silver, entwined with a golden chord. The whole shield is surrounded by lilies and violets, with our motto: TOIL, FAITH, PROGRESS inscribed in the midst. The entire crest is surmounted by a cross, radiating the rays of divine love. The beehive represents every institution of St. Charles inhabited by busy bees all working together for a common goal.
