Jefferson became the first school in San Antonio, and possibly in the United States, to have its own specially designed coat-of-arms. Designed by Max Frederick of Adams & Adams, the coat-of-arms is correct in every detail according to the laws of heraldry. The crest, which is cast in stone on the four sides of the tower dome, bears the motto on the banner
In omni uno or “All for one and one for all.” Altogether, the qualities represented on the shield – temperance, prudence, loyalty, purity, value, stainlessness, and love – are truly a fitting set of virtues to represent Jefferson.
