Parkland College Crest

Interpretation

The Lamp of Learning — Parkland College
Dedicated to teaching — an open, comprehensive community college, giving full regard to the needs of the individual student.

The Torch and Atomic Rings — Learning and the Sciences
Knowledge, as an ancient tradition, passing man to man, encircled by the symbols of today — achievements of our technical world — seeking order and meaning in learning and in society.

The Olive Branch and the Shield — Peace and Civic Concern
The individual student becoming an active, responsible, self-disciplined citizen, knowing his or her abilities and interests, preparing for employment and improving skills and understanding; the institution serving in community economic and cultural growth.

The Ear of Corn — The Community and its People
Reflecting the needs and interests of all its citizens, planted and nourished by a committed public; the greater classroom for learning, a laboratory for out-of-class experiences; the present and future home of its students and alumni.

The Tree on a Hill — The Institution and its Setting
Growing at the heart of the district and at the high point of the terrain, sensitive to its neighbors and environment, taking as its name “a community of learning in the open, public land.”
