Pinellas Park High School
Patriots

In the old days, the mascot had a gun, but since all these things about gun laws came up, it got replaced with a piece of paper.

The Declaration of independence.

My school was built in 1976, 200 years after the DoI was signed.

We don't have mascots for schools in Norway. However, the High School I went to the year I lived in Texas had a Tiger as its mascot and black/red as the colours.

The university I go to now does not have a mascot (as stated earlier, we don't have mascots for schools in Norway), but the logo has Hugin and Munin in it, and during some arrangments (mainly concerts at campus), someone will dress up in a raven-costume and dance in front of the stage..

Schenley High School

Mascot - Spartans
Colors - Red and black

Penn State University

Mascot - Nittany Lions
Colors - Blue and white

Funnily enough, PSU is a Big Ten university with such a ginormous football following that State College becomes the third largest city in Pennsylvania on home game weekends, and neither myself or Rando (who went there as well) ever gave a crap about football. We're just not sports people.

Well, we never had a mascot at our school, and I can't think of any high schools around here with mascots either.

Our school colors were blue, grey and white though.

You didn't have a mascot? What were your sports teams called?

Uh... Wirreanda High School's soccer team?
Wirreanda High School's cricket team....



We didn't have a general mascot, but I think some of the teams had their own, which tended to change with the team itself also.

that's interesting... i wonder if that's what it's like with the high schools around us. i'm only a sophomore and i only know the high schools by their names, not their mascot.
...but i probably don't know because i don't attend games

Well, it's not like the school name has anything to do with the mascot.. just the teams are called that animal/object/whatever. And the students in general.
I've never heard of schools not having mascots...

My secondary school's mascot is a falcon, red and gold. As I like to say, "they spend more on the ***ing grass than us."

That's possible, I got admit, I was kind of the same way, I mean come on, if you're not interested, not playing, and/or have no friends who play or are interested, why would you even care enough to know?

Hmm...
Elementary: Lion, blue/gold
Middle: Jaguar, blue/white
High: Warrior (Indian, specifically, but that's never mentioned), green/white.

Of course, I'm not entirely sure what the one here is... I think it tends to just be referred to as the "Hokie Bird".

Oh, the names... Armstrong Elementary, Jones Middle, Kecoughtan High, and college would be Virginia Tech (or Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, which is way too long to bother with.)

Well, I don't know if it's just different here (in South Australia). I really can't think of any schools with a mascot. Closest I can remember is my Primary School having a coat of arms...

Because I got shitty, idiotic AP teachers because they spend all the money on the football team. thats why. And a underfunded debate team. And the fact I have access to the school's financial records and stuff. And they also have a shitty website for a school with a multimillion dollar budget.

I was responding to mcw, not you, not sure why you quoted me. Anyway, yeah, it's pathetic how athletic teams can easily score so much support than any other group in a school (especially when I was in high school, I saw this a lot), regardless of their importance. The biggest priority in a lot of schools are the athletics team. What... math and science? Who cares? Go team! Crush his face in! Then again, our school did support our drama club fairly well, so that's good, I suppose.

My high school had the coolest mascot. We were the Westlake Demons, our colors were green and white.

And The Ohio State University has the Buckeyes, and more specifically Brutus the Buckeye. Our colors are scarlet and grey.

The full name of the high school I attended was "Chatham Collegiate Institute". It was more commonly called "C.C.I" though. Our mascot was a cougar, and our school colors were green and white.

I never actually went to watch the games (unless it was a buyout type thing, where you paid a dollar or so to watch the game, and thus didn't have to attend class), but I do know there was a costume, as it was brought out a couple times in the gym, for some odd reason I remember some discussion going around during the few months before the school was closed about needing a new costume, as the old one was falling apart, and how it was too bad that getting a new one wouldn't be possible.

I just went to search for the school's webiste, so those that are interested could take a look at it, and I came across a "Rate My Teachers" site It actually allows you to rate the teachers that have registered, although now it wouldn't do any good. I can't find the actual school site though. You're not missing much, however The closest thing I found is a page stating how the school was staying open, when really it got closed again the next year

Anyways, in short, we had a cougar for our mascot, and our colors were green and white. That should suffice
