District Board Votes To Retire Hart High School Indian Mascot By 2025
The William S. Hart Union High School District Board voted in favor of retiring the Hart High School Indian mascot by 2025 during their regular board meeting on Wednesday.
The motion to retire the Hart High School Indian mascot by June 30, 2025 passed 4-1 on Wednesday, after dozens of members of the community, including alumni, staff members, students, and members of local Native American Tribes shared their opinion on the issue of the “outdated” mascot.
“I think that we are at a pivotal moment in our district. I shared before my strong values and beliefs. Decisions that we will make tonight aren’t about me though, they’re about our students,” said Dr. Cherise Moore, President of the Hart Board.
