Origin/meaning
Shoulder Sleeve Insignia: Green and white are the school’s colors. Mount Katahdin (a mountain range in Northern Maine) is the school’s mascot.
Shoulder Loop Insignia: Green and white are the school colors. The birchbark canoe was an important part of everyday life for the Penobscot and Tarratine Indian Tribes of Maine. Canoes are still being built today in Old Town, Maine on the very site where the Penobscot Indians built their canoes hundreds of years ago. Pride is the school’s motto.
The Shoulder Sleeve Insignia and Shoulder Loop Insignia was both approved 14 March 2005.
