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 School Symbols 

(Excerpts taken from www.calabaroldboys.org)

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.
