Shoulder Loop Insignia


Description/Blazon
A silver color metal and enamel device 1 1/8 inches (2.86 cm) in width overall in the shape of an Indian tribal symbol in green overlaid with the silhouette of a human figure sitting in a canoe holding an oar as if paddling downstream. Behind the figure are two mountain peaks in silver and below the canoe is a black scroll inscribed "PRIDE" in base metal letters.

Symbolism
Green and white are the school colors. The birchbark canoe was an important part of everyday life for the Penobscot and Tarratine Indian Tribes of Maine. Canoes are still being built today in Old Town, Maine on the very site where the Penobscot Indians built their canoes hundreds of years ago. Pride is the school's motto.
