The McDonogh Seal was designed in 1930 by longtime faculty member G. Hall Duncan who taught at McDonogh from 1926 through 1942 and again after World War II from 1946 through 1947. It contains the school’s name and founding date. The eagle, representative of the nation, and the Maryland flag are prominently displayed, along with farm tools that remind us of our school farm beginnings. The six stars symbolize the six virtues—Labor, Patience, Wisdom, Love, Honor, and Truth— noted in The McDonogh Uniform poem written by Eustace S. Glascock, McDonogh Class of 1879.
