The school has been seen using a flag with the municipal coat of arms on it. It is unclear if this is officially used by the Municipal Council
or only used unofficially by the school.

The coat of arms of Antiguo Morelos was first adopted in 1993 and designed by Jesús García López, being asked to do so by Municipal President Alberto Rostro Armendáriz.
It was re-adopted in 1999, after being replaced in 1996. The border of the coat of arms has the same form as the coat of arms of the state but is in red. The lower edges read TAMPEMOL BALTAZAR MORELOS (the 3 historical names). At the top is the year 1821, when it became a Villa. Going through this is a pole depicting a yellow ribbon reading ANT. MORELOS TAM. The inner area is divided into six sections, with a red circle in the center. The upper-left section depicts the San José Church and clouds. The upper-right section depicts a ploughed field and a tractor with the mountains and clouds in sight. In the center-left is a cob of corn; in the center-right is a palm chair, which distinguishes the Municipality throughout the region for its chair-making industry. The lower-left section depicts a crane and sugarcane, which composes a main part of the local industry. The lower-right section depicts a cow eating grass with a view of the mountains for the cattle-raising industry. In the center is the effigy of José María Morelos y Pavón, an Insurgent hero from which the Municipality takes its name.

During the term of Municipal President Rodolfo González Hernández (1996-1998), the design changed to one by his current wife, Magdalena Flores Raga. After José Pedro Martínez Muñiz (1999-2001) became president, the coat of arms reverted to the one from 1993-1996. Above the shield is a green ribbon reading ANT MORELOS TAMPS. The sides depict grass. The inner section is green and depicts a triangular road over it. In its triangle is the sky and cloud, two trees, a cow head, an "M" for Morelos, and at the bottom of the triangle the El Oyul Dam, the Municipal Building, and a wall.

Not registered in the state capital, the first coat of arms adopted in 1990 has an official document. Reynaldo Huerta Hernández's design, after his corrections, stayed as the Municipal Coat of Arms for the next year until the term of Alberto Rostro Armendáriz. The coat of arms has a similar frame to the coat of arms of the state, having above a ribbon reading Antiguo Morelos Tamaulipas. It is divided horizontally into four sections. The upper-left section depicts the San José Temple; the upper-center depicts a monument as a beacon of light; and the upper-right depicts the Municipal Building. Under this are two views of a palm chair, an industry that distinguishes the municipality. Under this is a cow head and six corn plants, symbolic of cattle-raising and agriculture. The lower section depicts the El Oyul Dam and a stone edge. In the center is a mirror to a ploughed field with a tractor, remembering the work of the local.

In 1990, Gilberto Raga Ledesma asked Municipal President Máximo Ochoa Barrón to hold a contest for the adoption of a municipal coat of arms, receiving six proposals including the designer of today's coat of arms. The design by Reynaldo Huerta Hernández emerged as the winning design. However, his design did not follow the rules of the contest and he was asked to redo his coat of arms. At the top is a ribbon reading Antiguo Morelos Tamaulipas. In a circular frame, it is divided horizontally into three uneven sections. The upper section depicts a monument as a beacon of light. The middle section depicts the Municipal Building (left) and the San José Temple (right). At the bottom are three corn plants on sand and by the water, with a cob of corn also visible. In the center is a mirror giving a view of the fields, reflecting the work of the local.

During the term of Municipal President Pedro López Turrubiates (1987-1990), Profesor Héctor “El Toro” Cárdenas designed this coat of arms. Apparently the design was thrown away from the municipal archives during the term of 1993-1995. The professor Alicia Flores Ramírez also designed a coat of arms but was likely never used. This design depicts the name ANTIGUO MORELOS and the phrase CULTIVAR LA TIERRA ES CONTRIBUIR A FORJAR LA GRANDEZA DE LA PATRIA [Cultivating the Land is Contributing to Forging the Greatness of the Fatherland]. In the center is the image of Insurgent hero José María Morelos y Pavón wearing his red turban.
