Southern York County schools to retire Native American mascot
York Dispatch
The Southern York County School District will no longer use its Native American mascot following a board decision Thursday night.
The board voted 7-2 Thursday to retire the Susquehannock High School mascot, ending a controversial debate that started nearly a year ago. The district will keep the terms Susquehannock and Warriors as part of its branding.
Students will design the new logo. Superintendent Sandra Lemmon said the board will receive its first update on the transition next month.
Officials started discussing the mascot last year, following calls for the district to change it. It came amid nationwide criticism of Native American mascots, which led the Washington, D.C. football team, formerly known as the Redskins, to rebrand.
