On a silver metal and epoxied device 1 1/4 inches (3.18 cm) in height, consisting of a White arrowhead point up, it’s flutes radiating to a red demisphere above a Blue base. Attached below the arrowhead two silver scrolls, the left scroll bearing the inscription “ONE TRIBE” and the right scroll bearing the inscription “ONE TEAM”, all in blue letters.

Red, white, and blue are the school colors. Red conveys courage and blue is symbolic of loyalty. The arrowhead reflects the Native American warrior spirit of determination and courage displayed by the cadets in pursuing academic achievement and community service. The flutes of the arrowhead radiating around a demi-sphere, suggest the sun and represent enlightenment through education. The rays point upward over the native Kentucky soil and denote the high standards of the students.
