[edit] Mascot and Colors
The school's choice of the Falcon for its mascot is symbolic. Just as the Falcon soars high before inflicting harm on its prey, so do the varsity teams of Adamson soar high to defeat their opponents in a sporting event. The Falcon was adopted in reference to the live falcons that the school takes care of.
Blue and White are Adamson's official school colors.
