Origin/meaning
Blue and gold (yellow) are the school colors. The irregular shape of the insignia suggests the Hudson River Highlands, the home location of the school. The torch of knowledge reflects the cadets’ education. The wizard, the school mascot, symbolizes the cadets’ inner strength and self-motivation. The shoulder sleeve insignia was approved on 26 November 1996.
