The Story of our Summer Logos

The three logos represent the development of our summer athletes and students and the ecological succession in natural environments like the San Gabriel mountains viewed from our hill. In the first logo, the lichen and mosses on the rocks absorb nutrients like primary school students absorb new skills. Grasses and annuals, blossoming like our junior high summer students, replace the pioneer species in the second logo. In the third logo, a climax community has formed, represented by tertiary animals and a pine forest akin to our high school students, where the balance of the community depends on and is enhanced by one another.
