Symbolism

Red and gold are the Loara High School colors. The design is adapted from the school’s long-used formal Coat of Arms which includes a shield with a red cross, two stallion supporters, and a crest with an Anglo-Saxon warrior helmet. The Saxon helmet alludes to the school’s mascot, Sammy Saxon. The two sections of blue in the upper right and bottom left corners of the shield refer to the two nearby bodies of water, the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ana River. The orange in center suggests Orange County, where the school is located. The star in the upper left is adapted from the red star on the California flag which represents sovereignty. The name Anaheim is a combination of “Ana”, from the nearby Santa Ana River, and the German phrase “–heim” which means home. The tower is indicative of a home and characterizes the town’s name. The tower has also been drawn to resemble the letter “A,” further denoting the name of the town.
