Official school seal of <b><a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:St._Xavier_High_School,_Cincinnati" title="Category:St. Xavier High School, Cincinnati">St. Xavier High School</a></b> in <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cincinnati,_Ohio" title="Cincinnati, Ohio">Cincinnati, Ohio</a>, <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a>. The seal appears on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:St._Xavier_High_School_(Cincinnati)_logo.jpg" class="extiw" title="en:File:St. Xavier High School (Cincinnati) logo.jpg">school logo</a> and as a watermark on official transcripts. St. Xavier's seal is identical to that of <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Xavier_University" title="Category:Xavier University">Xavier University</a>, save for the surrounding inscription. Surrounding the coat of arms is the inscription <i>Academia Scti. Xaverii, S.J., Cincinnatensis</i>, the school's full Latin name, followed by 1831, the school's founding year, in Roman numerals.
<p>The coat of arms was adopted on January 6, 1928.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a></sup> It was first published that year, without copyright notice, as part of the College's seal, in course catalogs and other printed material. (Compare the course catalogs from 1926–27<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a></sup> and 1927–28<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a></sup>.) The High School's seal differs from the College's in the word "Collegium", which is replaced here by "Academia".

This image has been recolored to <code>#001E54</code> (0, 30, 84) based on the color scheme at <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://www.stxavier.org/">[1]</a>, since the SVG appears on the site as a negative, but most school documents depict the seal in royal blue. A white background has been added to the seal.
