The Seton Crest

The Seton CrestThe crosses are from the crest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, and the plowshare represents the City of Cincinnati named after the Society of Cincinnati which is named after Cincinnatus, the Roman farmer who became the famous general of Rome.

 

The cedar tree symbolizes Cedar Grove, the popular name of the academy established on this site in 1857. The school was renamed Seton High School in 1928.

 

The wavy bars suggest the Ohio River and the Motherhouse of the Sisters of Charity at Mount St. Joseph-on-the-Ohio.

 

The three crescents are derived from the Seton Family Coat of Arms.

 

Seton's Motto: "Hazard Yet Forward"
