===Origin/meaning===
Shoulder Sleeve Insignia: Blue, white and red are the National colors.  The fort, representative of Fort Gaines established for the protection of the natural harbor at Mobile Bay, alludes to the geographic location of the school system.  It is also indicative of military training.  The lamp enflamed commemorates academic and military standards of achievement.
The shoulder sleeve insignia and tabs were authorized on 29 June 1970. The shoulder loop insignia was approved on 7 June 1976.
