The Waterloo Central School District has adopted "Tigers" as its new mascot. The Board of Education approved the change at its regular meeting on Monday, June 13.
Student representatives from the Mascot Search Committee presented the Board with rebranding concepts for the four mascot finalists determined by a community survey this spring. The other finalists were Bears, Wolverines and Wolves. Tigers was the top choice of survey respondents.
"I would like to thank the Board of Education for listening to our students and the community and for approving this change," Superintendent of Schools Terri Bavis said. "I would also like to extend my gratitude and appreciation to all who served on our Mascot Search Committee ? especially our students ? and everyone in the community who contributed to the process. Go Tigers!"
Students will continue to be a part of the process as the District develops logos and branding concepts in the coming months.
