"For every member of the DCian community, the school emblem represents craftsmanship and dedication. Each symbol embodies the illustrious mission and vision of the school. The open book and illuminated torch signify the moral duty of the academic institution since its establishment in 1947, which is to educate every student to become a value-driven and service-oriented citizen. The DCian motto, inscribed as STRIVE-SEEK-LEARN, urges every member of the community to strive for justice, seek truth, and embrace moral virtues. The array of noble laurels symbolizes honor, distinguished achievements, and meritocracy in every endeavor undertaken by a DCian.
