In 1961 the senior class under the direction of Mrs. Gwendolyn Goodman, senior class advisor, presented the school with the Coat of Arms.  It bears the motto “Not to Equal but Excel.”  In the center of the Coat of Arms is a large “J”. The gavel symbolizes leadership; the quill represents academic achievement; the trophy signifies athletic excellence; and the laurel branch stands for honor and over-all achievement.  In the center surrounding the “J” is the atom—a symbol of unlimited potential energy.
