We are excited to introduce Athena as a secondary logo to complement our existing visual identity and promote unity and inclusion. In Greek Mythology, Athena represented wisdom, courage, strategy and discipline - values we strive to embody as Sprague Olympians. Athena was chosen to challenge us to look beyond the labels that divide us and instead focus on the label that unites us: We are Olympians. We are Athena.
The students who participated in the launch video were asked to share a label that they feel has been applied to them by others or themselves. The labels they wrote down reflect their personal experiences which are also shared by many of their peers.
