[edit] Students
Girls wear a different colored plaid skirt, to identify her grade level. The school colors are Navy Blue and Sky Blue, and the mascot is a Black Panther. For this reason the girls call themselves the 'Lady Panthers'. Every year the school hosts an International Festival where the girls showcase their diversified heritages, organize dances influenced from all around the world, and bring them to life on stage.
