Our Lady of the Lakes is under the patronage and protection of Mary, the Mother of Jesus. Throughout sacred art, tradition, and Catholic symbolism, Mary is most often represented in shades of blue and white.

• Blue symbolizes devotion, faithfulness, and heavenly grace. It reflects Mary’s “yes” to God and her role as our model of discipleship.

• White represents purity, holiness, and joy. It reminds us that Mary leads us closer to Christ.

• Gray is a humble, grounding color that connects us to daily life — the place where our faith is lived, chosen, and practiced.

Our updated uniform colors — blue, white, and gray — are not simply a style choice. They are a visual expression of our identity as a school under Mary’s mantle.

Why This Matters for Our Students

When a student puts on the Lakes uniform, they are:

• Wearing colors that remind them of Mary’s love and guidance

• Visually connected to a long tradition of Catholic formation

• Part of a community that values faith, character, and excellence
  
  

This subtle but meaningful symbolism helps root students in:

• Who we are as a Catholic school

• Whose care they are under

• What kind of disciples we are forming
