Santa Cruz City Schools Official Seal | District Identity & History #1210847 (License: Personal Use)

The circular seal features “Santa Cruz City Schools” encircling central imagery: open books, stacked textbooks, a terrestrial globe with a compass, a laboratory beaker, and redwood trees flanking school buildings-all above wavy blue water. Below, a banner reads “Per Scientiam Veritas” (Through Knowledge, Truth), with the founding year “1857” prominently displayed. The design embodies the district’s commitment to academic excellence, scientific inquiry, and environmental stewardship.

This image is used on official district websites, reports, letterheads, and accreditation documents to establish institutional identity and credibility; users seek it for verification, historical research, or branding reference.
