Where Griffins Soar

The Lion & The Eagle

The Griffin is rooted in ancient mythology, combining the courage of the lion with the vision of the eagle—the perfect mascot for young men learning to lead. The lion and eagle are also rooted in the Bible—the roaring power of St. Mark’s Gospel with the soaring spirit of St. John’s Gospel.
