school motto
Campus rallying cry
A school motto is a short phrase expressing an institution's ideals or guiding principles, often in Latin: The school motto was "Knowledge Is Power".
Mottos appear on crests, letterheads, and buildings, meant to inspire students and define institutional identity.
They tend toward lofty abstractions—truth, service, excellence—and rarely change once established.
