Calabar is a High School for boys
in Kinsgton, Jamaica, West Indies.
"Old Boys" is an English term used to describe its alumni.
"Calabar College" was founded in
1912 by 2 Baptist ministers originally to train Baptist ministers. It
expanded to include general (high school) education, and the
theological college merged with the University of the West Indies -
Mona, leaving the High School by itself. Through the years Calabar has
earned the reputation as one of Jamaica's finest educational
institutions.

THE
MOTTO - The Utmost for the
Highest - was one of the first Jamaican school mottos to be
expressed
in English instead of Latin. It means that each boy must make maximum
effort to achieve goals which he can conceive. "The Highest" also
suggests that we aim at doing whatever we do to the Glory of God.
OUR
COLOURS - GREEN AND BLACK
-
may be taken to represent growth, and difficulties to be overcome,
respectively
THE
SCHOOL CREST, is a shield
bordered by black and yellow enclosing a green field. Into the centre
of this area is a girdle bearing the words of the motto in yellow
letters and enclosing a tree of knowledge, the two lower branches of
which divide the centre circle into three parts.
In the upper third are the
spreading branches of the tree while in the left and right lower thirds
are, respectively, a lion signifying strength, and an open Bible
signifying truth and Godliness.
