From the Principal : Resilience and Adaptability

“Citius, Altius, Fortius” is the motto of the modern Olympic Games. These three Latin words mean “Faster, Higher, Stronger.” Baron de Coubertin the founder of the Modern Olympics borrowed the motto from a Priest named Henri Martin Dideono, the headmaster of a school in Paris. This motto speaks of more than physical prowess or achievement. It speaks to me of resilience, determination, commitment, adaptability and evolution.
