Information About Our Logo
St. Nicholas Academy came about through the cooperative efforts of St. John the Evangelist and Holy Trinity Parishes. The children attending the schools of these two parishes chose the school colors, gray and maroon. Parents from both parishes met to design a logo for St. Nicholas Academy, trying to incorporate ideas about the creation of the school and symbols representative of St. Nicholas.
The large “N” which dominates the shield is composed of two separate parts coming together to form one letter, representing what the two parishes have done in creating the school. The last part of the “N” is in the shape of a crozier, the modified shepherd’s crook carried by bishops as a symbol of their shepherding the flock of Christ’s faithful. The crozier design incorporates a cross with a sunburst, representing Christ the Light of the World, a well-understood symbol of Catholic education. The three balls at the bottom of the shield are found in every representation of St. Nicholas, alluding to the popular story of his gifts of bags of gold coins given to provide dowries for poor young girls. Finally, the gray cross which forms the background of the shield represents the victory of Christ which gives meaning to our lives as Catholic Christians.
