School Officials Received More Than 1,600 Mascot Suggestions

SKOWHEGAN, Maine - Skowhegan school officials who voted to retire the "Indians" mascot received more than 1,600 suggestions for a new nickname and have now whittled the list down to 305. Assistant Superintendent Jon Moody said the list will be reviewed with school administrators.

Students in grades six through 12 will be asked to provide feedback once two committees come up with five final suggestions.

There is no timeline for when the nickname and mascot selection process must be completed.
