- Granite Crushers
- Woodsmen
- Wolfpack
- Titans
- Loggers
- Mountaineers
- Patriots
- Wildcats
It was also noted that the Warjacks will also go before the focus groups as a potential mascot for the newly merged junior and senior high schools.
The process of reaching out to focus groups to come together to talk about the remaining top mascot choices and identify which ones will move on to the next round
According to the district’s website, the plan will be to bring the focus groups together in October to finalize the details, and once the groups, which will include students, have an opportunity to meet.
The results of the second survey, along with the feedback from the focus groups, will be brought to the school board for discussion and consideration in November. Following that, a third community-wide survey will be sent out to help the school board make a final decision.
Mascots that didn’t make the cut from the previous list included Billy Goats, Stars, and River Rattlers.
