CRESTWOOD SCHOOL DISTRICT COAT OF ARMS

The nine-pointed star at the top represents the nine areas merged to form the Crestwood School District.  The Polaris Star is a symbol of direction, and regardless of one’s goals or aims his education will always stand him in good stead.

Around the shield are sprays of laurel, signifying achievement.  Laurel is, of course, the State flower and very abundant in the areas.

The nine-shield shape also relates to the nine areas comprising the District.

Inside the shield at the top are the sun’s rays, rising over the mountains to convey the idea of enlightenment.  The mountains are characteristic of the local area and terrain, and furthermore show the heights to which the students must constantly strive.

The torch is the most widely recognized symbol for the education process.

The atomic symbol represents science and progress through education.  In recent years, the atomic symbol is often used to relate to industry.

The comet with its stars depicts the school’s mascot and the extracurricular activities.

The handshake denotes fair play, sportsmanship, and the friendships which develop in the school environment.

 ALMA MATER  Tune from: “Men of Harlech”

                              Midst the mountain’s splendor standing

                              With horizons broad, expanding,

                              Stands dear Crestwood High commanding:

                              “Honor, never wane.”

                              Pride in her abounding

                              In our hearts resounding,

                              Forward ever, backward never,

                              On to heights of knowledge e’er astounding.

                              Crestwood High School, Crestwood High School

                              Honors to her are every mounting.

                              Hail to Alma Mater shouting:

                              “Ever shall she reign”
