maybe we should suspend him.

 

Let's do it!

Due to the unnecessary controversy over the name, the MHS administration proposed a name change and let students pick a new team name and mascot in the 2008-09 school year.

 

I'm having a hard time believing this is true. You're saying Casteel and/or Director of Schools Stephanie Thompson put the name & mascot up for a vote?

[Lost Old Dad]

What was wrong with 'Red Elephants'? Pink ones I could understand being upset with, but not letting y'all call yourself red ones is beyond my comprehension.

 

Simple way to express your displeasure and letting it be known is to remind the Principal that he only has a JOB at the will of the people who actually employ him AND the Super.

Yes. We were told to pick a new mascot and name for the school but very few people actually voted. According to a student office worker that tallied the votes, no more than 15 ballots were cast and most of those said stuff along the lines of "WE ARE THE REBELS" or derogatory statements.

 

I was a junior at the time, which was the 2008-09 school year.

No offense, but I don't believe this actually occurred.

I respect your opinion but if you ever want to dig around and find out, students that graduate between '10-'12 would know.

I just called my son who graduated last year. He says it happened his junior or sophmore year but he doesn't remember the details. He said there was something about an elephant. It must not have got any legs or the old heads wpould have been screaming.

[Red Rebels]

I had one that graduated in '10 and remember hearing about this. Not sure of the exact details. I think the vote was for a Mascot.

The new principal is NOT liked at all by the students. He told students that he would suspend them if they sang the traditional post-TD song. He is more of a tradition killer than Casteel was.
