Gar-Field High School will remove the mascot it has used since 1953. (Liam Griffin/Patch)
WOODBRIDGE, VA Gar-Field High School is replacing its mascot, according to a letter from the school s principal on Monday. For years, the school s sports teams have been called the Indians, and used Native American imagery.
The school is accepting submissions from the community to help choose a new mascot. Submissions will be accepted until April 4.
The suggested names will be brought to a selection committee which will select some mascots as finalists. The school will then survey stakeholder groups in the community to evaluate their preferences.
