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.
