Purple and gold are the school’s colors. Black represents strength and determination. The masonry pattern on the shield refers to the school’s team name, the Brickies, and the city of Hobart’s long standing history with the brick-laying industry. The school’s motto, “Work, work, work” is indicative of the blue collar mentality of the city as well as the work ethic that the Hobart High School JROTC strives to instill into its cadets. The purple bands of color passing through the areas of black represent the strong school spirit that persists through all of the hard work being done by the students. The bricklaying tools crossed behind the shield, with the gray mortar, represent the importance of the tools acquired in school, which are necessary to build a strong foundation for life. The gray mortar is shaped like a trefoil, made of three pieces which symbolize the past, present, and future of the students’ careers.
