*The school color of navy blue represents knowledge, strength, integrity and being intentional ("…that in the holiness and godly sincerity, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you." - 2 Corinthians 1:12) while gold represents dignity and quality and evokes high regard; it is a precious metal that can be changed through fire, just as we are called to be molded into Christ-likeness on earth ("The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?" - Psalm 27:1).
