Emblem: Tree of Knowledge

The Niles Township High Schools District 219 Suraye commissioned Rabel Betshmuel, an alumnus, to create the course emblem. In collaboration, the Tree of Knowledge was developed. The Assyrian Tree of Life is reimagined as the Tree of Knowledge, symbolizing the potential for learning. The open books represent the four branches of Assyrian history: language, writing, astronomy, and art. The Tree of Knowledge is a new icon that symbolizes both growth and learning. Based on ancient Assyrian reliefs, the design resembles a stele.
