THE SCHOOL'S MOTTO

The motto of Paraclete High School is "Veni, Lumen Cordium," Come, Light of the Heart. The motto is taken from a twelfth century hymn to the Holy Spirit, wherein the Wisdom of God is invoked as the light by which all people are called to lead their lives, as they walk through the darkness of ignorance and self-centeredness.

SCHOOL'S COLORS AND EPITHET​

The student body and athletic teams of Paraclete High School are known as "The Spirits," and wear the colors of scarlet and gold.

THE SEAL OF PARACLETE HIGH SCHOOL

 ​

The oval-shaped seal of Paraclete High School is divided into three equal segments bearing these symbols: of the Holy Spirit, a dove; of education, the traditional lamp of learning; and of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, a crest bearing three sets of angel wings and three crosses surmounted by a bishop's miter. The central crest is surrounded by a banner bearing the name of the school and two stylized Joshua Tree branches, characteristic of Paraclete's desert environment.

ALMA MATER​

Give us strength and vision pure That we may trod the pathway home. Paraclete, Paraclete, Our Paraclete
