The colours chosen hold deep significance in Mi’kmaw culture, symbolizing the four directions, the seasons, and stages of life.

The eagle feather incorporates a sacred gift in Mi’kmaw culture, and the book remains to distinguish the School Board and pay homage to the Two-Eyed Seeing approach. This framework, developed by Mi’kmaw Elder Albert Marshall, blends the strengths of Indigenous and Western knowledge systems, and uses these 2 sights together.

The hieroglyphs represent community and education, emphasizing the connection between students, families, and community supporters as essential to student success.
