Summary[edit]

Description
English: Official school seal of St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. The seal appears on the school logo and as a watermark on official transcripts. St. Xavier's seal is identical to that of Xavier University, save for the surrounding inscription. Surrounding the coat of arms is the inscription Academia Scti. Xaverii, S.J., Cincinnatensis, the school's full Latin name, followed by 1831, the school's founding year, in Roman numerals.

The coat of arms was adopted on January 6, 1928.[1] It was first published that year, without copyright notice, as part of the College's seal, in course catalogs and other printed material. (Compare the course catalogs from 1926–27[2] and 1927–28[3].) The High School's seal differs from the College's in the word "Collegium", which is replaced here by "Academia".

This image has been recolored to #002261 (0, 34, 97) based on [1], since the original was included in a black-and-white document but most school documents depict the seal in blue. The wavy outer ring appears on graduation gowns and until recently on the official school profile, as a simulation of a wax impression.
