SCHOOL TRADITIONS

Our school was named in 1926 for the famous writer, Robert Louis Stevenson.
Mr. Stevenson is especially noted for his stories and poems for children. The first

Treasure Island, as the basis for establishing our school traditions.
They are as follows:
School Motto—“Forth and Forever Forward”
School Colors—Red and Black

School Magazine—Tusitala (a magazine of stories, poems, and artwork by students)

Students of Stevenson have an obligation to honor and to preserve the traditions
the first students so proudly set forth.
