The logo of the Ferguson-Florissant School District is a long-standing representation of the community we serve.

The present logo is a stylistic adaptation of the one that has served the District for more than 6o years. Through the years, the presentation of the logo has been updated but the representation has remained consistent.

 

Materials dating back to the late 1930s show the logo as a crest with a diagonal split. A covered wagon is depicted on the bottom half of the crest representing the pioneer spirit and agricultural economy that dominated our North County community in its early days. The upper half of the logo carries a vintage aircraft depicting the District's historical connection to aviation.

 

In the logo's next phase, the diagonal representation was replaced by a split circle that carried a wheel to represent the wagon and an updated aircraft signaling the growth of the aerospace industry.

 

In the '70s, the logo took a major leap into the 20th century.
The wing of the airplane became a trajectory with a representational wagon wheel at its base. This stylized logo was developed in conjunction with the merger of the Berkeley, Kinloch and Ferguson-Florissant school districts. The merger of the three school systems strengthened the District's link with the aerospace industry. The Kinloch community brought to the District its historic Kinloch Aviation Field, and the Berkeley community brought portions of McDonnell Douglas Corporation. The logo offers a visual representation of the merger of the three school districts by blending components of the old and new in a whole new image. The stylized wing directs us toward the future while the wheel keeps us firmly rooted in our past.

 

Today, members of our school community can take pride in our logo and its historical significance. Our most recent adaptation was developed after voters approved the District's first technology bond issue. In this representation, the wagon wheel now wraps around the flight of the wing, propelling our students into the future while keeping them firmly tied to our community.
