School Mascot Change
After careful deliberation, thorough research, and the polling of alumni, parents, staff, and students, our new mascot, by an overwhelmingly majority, is ... the Chargers! What is a Charger? It is a name that can be symbolized many ways but is one that evokes a moving forward, a symbol of strength or courage.
Our next step is to come up with a logo that represents this. We want to begin by gathering several possible designs for a new logo, selecting a new logo, and begin integrating the new logo into our school. The SCS Society School Board sincerely extends our gratitude to everyone who participated in this constructive process.
