Our Mascot
The classical mythological figure of the Gryphon has been selected as the symbol for Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy. It was used in Persian, Greek, and Roman cultures, as well as in Western heraldry.
Since ancient times, it has been a symbol of vigilance, loyalty, strength, speed, gracefulness, and gentleness. As part eagle and part lion, it was the master of the sky and the land. A goal for the academy is for all graduates to emulate the Gryphon by commanding the heights of knowledge and truth and applying them in down-to-earth situations.
