The upper most section of the logo is also dominated by a “Book” which symbolizes the Holy Bible. The writings on it is read this way “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life!” it is the source of evangelization and catechesis which is primary reason of catholic education.

At the center are the letters JHS “Jesus Hominum Salvator” means Jesus savior of mankind.
The lower most section is dominated by two cultural symbols: the harp on the left and the “burnay” earthen vessel on the right. The harp reminds the young people of the talents of their forefathers – one Claro Caluya, musician and composer of Ilocano ballads. The “burnay” (a container where local wine (Basi) made of sugarcane is kept reminds the young people of the bravery of the Piddiguenos during the Basi Revolution.
The Latin transcriptions read: A.D. 1965. It is the date when the school was founded “in the year of the Lord nineteen hundred sixty five”. “Pro Deo focis at Patria” means for God and country. This is taken from the Vision-Mission of the school.
