Our Guardian mascot is inspired by the historic and noble tradition of the Papal Swiss Guard, the legendary protectors of the Pope since 1506. Our Patron Saint – St. Peter the Apostle – was the first Pope

The Papal Swiss Guard Uniform
Our Guardian mascot is clad in a stylized version of the traditional Renaissance-era uniform of the Papal Swiss Guard, still worn today. The iconic Morion helmet worn by the Papal Swiss Guard with its sweeping plume, signals readiness and vigilance, reminding our students that excellence requires both discipline and purpose.

Banner With Crossed Keys
Drawn from Scripture (Matthew 16:19) and our school seal – the Crossed Keys of St. Peter symbolize our mission to open doors for students: doors to faith, hope, discipleship, and to academic, career, and technical excellence. They also reflect leadership rooted in service, calling students to be guardians of their faith, gifts, and future pathways.
