about our school seal

In addition to identifying our physical location and the year of our founding, our seal contains the history of our school. The Justin-Siena High School seal embodies the icons of the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael (who co-sponsored the school through the 2005-06 academic year) and the De La Salle Christian Brothers.

The original black and white cross, or Fleury, has been associated with Dominicans since the 13th century and indicates a spiritual ide-al in spreading the Gospel of Christ by preaching and teaching. The five-pointed star signifies the sign of faith, which guides all Christian Brothers and Lasallian partners in their vocation of Christian education.

The shield containing these two icons symbolizes the Dominican shield which first appeared in the early 15th century when the Order of Preach-ers began using the shield as a coat-of-arms for identification. Finally, Sempre Avanti heralds the legacy of the Brothers, and more specifically, Justin High School. Meaning always forward, these words appeared on the original school seal of Justin High School representing a commit-ment always to look forward and to uphold a high standard for preparing students to serve and to lead in an ever-changing world.

Dear Faculty and Staff,

It is with great pleasure and anticipation that we welcome you to a new school year. We do so with the knowledge that in order to greet one another, it helps to see a face with the name. Please enjoy this Community Guide and use it as a tool as you prepare to greet one another.

In the spirit of our Lasallian tradition, we walk with one another on this journey of touching the hearts and minds of the students entrusted to our care. We must always remem-ber we never do this work alone, as it takes the entire com-munity. And, as St. Paul reminds us, each individual is given unique gifts and talents but is of the same body.

We look forward to seeing the wonderful surprises in store for our community in the months ahead.

HistoryJustin-Siena High School was founded near-ly fifty years ago when a need for a Catholic college preparatory education arose in the Napa Valley.

In 1966, Justin High School for boys (spon-sored by the De La Salle Christian Brothers) and Siena High School for girls (sponsored by the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael) were founded.

In 1972, the schools merged and became co-educational under the name of Justin-Si-ena High School. The De La Salle Chris-tian Brothers became the sole sponsor of Justin-Siena in June 2006. With such a rich heritage, Justin-Siena bears a distinction of educational excellence that ensures the school is always moving forward as our motto suggests—Sempre Avanti. We take pride in our current students and graduates who con-tinue to serve and lead in their communities.

De La Salle Christian BrothersThe Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools (also known as the De La Salle Christian Brothers) is a Roman Catholic teaching order founded in France in 1680 by John Baptist de La Salle, a Catholic priest. Originally serving the purpose of educating the young, with a particular concern to those of modest or limited means, the De La Salle Christian Brothers currently sponsor ap-proximately 1,000 institutions more than 80 countries around the world. The Founder, St. John Baptist de La Salle, is regarded today as the patron saint of all teachers. It is from this rich legacy lasting more than 330 years that we celebrate our Lasallian traditions everyday, throughout our campus, and in all that we do.

Faith: At Justin-Siena, we invite students to explore their relationship with God. Essential to our school’s Catholic identity is a respect for the many religious traditions in our world. We propose the Catholic faith, but do not impose it, because faith is a gift freely offered and freely received.

SChoLarShip: As a college preparatory school, our curriculum is designed for students to be competitive for college placement, while becoming young men and women inspired to put their faith into action, to apply their knowledge for the benefit of others, and to embrace their bravery within.

Bravery: Vibrant co-curricu-lar programs enhance student life by engaging young people in unique activities including spiritual development, service, athletics, and the arts while developing and exercising personal lead-ership skills and being of service to the greater community.
