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alumni, staff members, students, and members of local Native American Tribes shared their opinion on the issue of the “outdated” mascot.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.

CHARLESTON, S.C., June 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Charleston based Sweet Grass Vodka, a leading craft spirits, innovation company, announced today that InterContinental Beverage Capital will join its team and take a minority ownership position in the company.
Sweet Grass is led by Charleston resident and founder, Jarrod Swanger and Chicago native and entrepreneur Brian Friedopfer. They introduced Sweet Grass Vodka to the highly competitive spirits market in late 2020, and already is currently available on-line, in Total Wine s southeast locations, and through distributors in Texas, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Illinois. Sweet Grass is in the midst of a rapid scale-up and expansion while it completes its second location, a state-of-the-art craft distillery and bottling plant in Charleston s Brewery District. The distillery is scheduled to open in September of this year.
The William S. Hart Union High School District’s governing board approved a budget for the 2021-22 school year last week that details an $8.9 million deficit for the district.
However, the district’s chief business officer said Tuesday school leaders are optimistic moving forward, with plans to look at efficiencies and spending reductions in response to further decreases in enrollment that continue to impact revenue projections.
Another complication for district officials is the rising cost of salaries, which is part of an ongoing negotiation with both the district’s teachers and classified staff, through Hart District Teachers Association and California State Employees Association Chapter 349, respectively.
