Sesat was the Egyptian goddess of wisdom, knowledge, and writing. She was seen as a scribe and record keeper, and her name means she who is the scribe. She is credited with inventing writing. She also became identified as the goddess of architecture, astronomy, astrology, building, mathematics, and surveying. Mistress of the House of Books is another title for Seshat, being the deity whose priests oversaw the library in which scrolls of the most important knowledge were assembled and spells were preserved.
She is most often portrayed wearing a leopard robe, with a seven pointed symbol above her head, of unknown meaning.
She seemed like a good, lesser-known goddess to name our school after! Also we could have leopard print as our school colors, always an important consideration. While wearing the seven pointed mysterious palm leaf and belljar/breast symbol thing on our heads.
