Mascot
For many years the school's mascot was the Chieftain. The imagery associated with the nickname was a Native American wearing a feather headdress. The mascot came under repeated scrutiny since at least 1995. The topic garnered media attention and it was reported that it was found to be "racist" and "offensive" by administrators and members of the public. In 2006, the school changed the mascot to the "Pride."
