The gryphon
is the school’s official mascot. As the lion is
traditionally considered the king of the beasts
and the eagle the king of the birds,
the gryphon, half eagle- half lion is the king of all creatures.
Powerful, majestic and courageous, the gryphon traditionally
guards treasures. It symbolizes strength,
courage, intelligence, and leadership.
