St. Charles Borromeo School Unveils New Seal

BENSALEM, PA — As it prepares to celebrate its 100th anniversary, St. Charles Borromeo School in Bensalem has unveiled a new school seal representing both its history and future.

"This newly designed school seal reflects our school's rich heritage along with a modern look and feel," said school advancement director Kathryn McCarty. "It incorporates Saint Charles Borromeo’s emblem 'humilitas' (Latin for humility), and includes other Catholic symbols such as the Sacred Heart for the I.H.M. Sisters, and a Bible."

Milk Street Marketing, a Philadelphia graphic design and brand consulting agency, created the seal, which features the school’s traditional colors of maroon and gold.

The new seal was revealed during a school Mass. Students at the school had been invited to vote for their favorite design and there were two online voting polls for the school's social media follower to weigh in as well.

McCarthy said modernizing the seal represents the Catholic school's look to the future.

"This is an exciting time for us where more technology is being introduced in our classrooms, as we’ve been designated as a STREAM Pilot School," she said. "It’s important that our marketing efforts show that our school is also evolving along with the world of education and technology."

Students in grades Pre-K 3/4 to 8 were invited to vote for their favorite design. There were also two online voting polls for the school’s social media followers to vote.
