THE SCHOOL SEALWhen the seal of Pottstown School District is stamped on a paper ordocument, that instrument becomes official and authentic. For thisreason that seal is carefully guarded and is used only under thedirection of one of the officers of the administration. It is usedprincipally on transcripts of records, recommendations, and similarimportant papers.The seal is symbolic of the school. The central figure is a lamp burningvigorously. This is to represent the light of education as it spreads understanding, tolerance, and information to the world.Enclosing the lamp of learning is a triangle bearing the names of three general fields of endeavor. Resting on a base ofart, which is indicative of all culture, the other two phases of school activity, science and industry, reach upward to formthe apex of the triangle. Directly beneath the triangle is the year in which the school district was founded, 1881.Twin circles bearing between them the name of the school, town, and stateconfine all of the symbols. These circles represent the unity of the school districtand serve to remind us that we have a single, basic institution. Regardless of thediversity of our interest or aims, the one concept that should draw all these together and make us one complete unit is theschool.
