The Hockaday Motto
The motto of Hockaday is Virtus Scientia, meaning in knowledge comes power. I first encountered this motto when my mom, an alumni of Hockaday, brought home documents from her time at this school after a reunion. One of these documents was a three-dimensional cube with pictures of my mother and a picture of the Hockaday motto. The Hockaday motto is highly associated with four cornerstones that contribute to the life of a Hockaday student. The four cornerstones are courtesy, character, scholarship, and athletics. The cornerstones and the Latin motto intricately have a bond with each other because you need to gain a sense of knowledge to achieve the four cornerstones of power. The Hockaday motto perfectly fits in with their environment of academics and having educational values.
