Motto and symbols From the mid-2010s the high school's motto has been "Pentru unii un liceu, pentru noi un mod de viață", meaning "For some a high school, for us a way of life". Previously it was "Acest liceu este făcut pentru învingătorii vieţii", meaning "This high school is made for life's victors". The motto of the student council is "Chaque enfant qu'on enseigne est un homme qu'on gagne", in English "Every child we teach is a person we win". The old anthem of the high school, on a text by V. I. Păun and a song by G. Brătianu, was presented for the first time during the first celebration of the patron's commemoration on 18 January 1892. In 1910, on the occasion of the school's semicentennial, the high school orchestra and choir performed under the baton of Master Ion Costescu a new variant of the anthem, on the conductor's music.
