The school crest was designed by Brother Gerard Mullin who served as principal of the school from 1959 to 1964. The crest of St. Bernard's consists of a shield divided into three panels:
Surmounting the shield is a combination of stars resting on a bar divided into three parts. The Latin inscription at the foot of the shield translates to "Look to the star, call upon Mary."
