The School Crest is a shield divided into four sections.  In the top left section, is the Sun rising from the horizon; in the top right, are three links, below these, is a cocoa tree; and on the left of this is a palm tree.  At the top of the shield, is a lion; and below the shield, is the School Motto, "Esse Quam Videri".

THE LION: - King of Beasts
It represents the Lion of Justice explemplifying poise and controlled power.

THE SUN: -
This represents the brilliance of knowledge, dispersing ignorance and superstition.

THE THREE CHAINS: -
The Union of three chains stands for the Pauline virtues of FAITH, HOPE and LOVE.

THE PALM TREE: -
The palm tree thrives where other tree can hardly stand.  Here it represents Triumph over environmental handicaps.

COCOA TREE: - Symbol of Ghana's wealth
It means the proper use of wealth to sweeten the cares of life.

At the bottom of the crest is the Motto of the School:
ESSE QUAM VIDERI - translated as  "To be than to seem to be" or "Honesty is the best policy"
