Since medieval times, the Knight has represented honor, valor, loyalty, and chivalry. This shining armor was worn with pride. Each piece of it had a symbolic meaning. The golden spurs symbolized diligence, the spear symbolized truth and strength, the helmet suggested modesty, the shield proted the Knights body and he, in turn, used his own body as a shield to protect the lord. The sword represented protection of the helpless. 

​

Through formal Knighthood is no longer in existence, the qualities that it represented are as applicable today as they were in the Middle Ages. These objectives of Knighthood - respect for church, truth, bravery, obedience, courtesy, service, sports participation, aid to others, and a quest for knowledge should be incorporated by the students into their lives and actions to prepare them to accept with pride the accolade given as the final preparation  for Knighthood. Then they will be ready to accept the charge,

"Be brave, ready, and loyal"
