New Mascot Approved By Saugatuck School Board
After it was announced in July 2020 that the
Indians nickname will be retired following the school year, the Saugatuck Public Schools board unanimously approved the new mascot on February 22
nd to become the
Trailblazers.
The process of deciding the new name took seven months and over 250 entries were submitted from students and the community. The Mascot Development Committee, comprised of students, administration, faculty and community members, narrowed those entries down to just over 90 unique names based on the position statement -
The new Saugatuck Public Schools mascot will be locally relevant, relatable to both current students and alumni and will portray a positive, uplifting image. This mascot will tell a story, inspire our students and community, and portray strength. The new mascot will not reference any groups of people or specific cultures.
