Senior Mascots
While the official school mascot is a hawk, every spring, the rising senior class selects a mascot of their own that they present to the rest of the school at the spring Carnival. The class makes t-shirts and rents a costume for a student to wear for the presentation.

Famous quotes containing the word senior:
“I suffer whenever I see that common sight of a parent or senior imposing his opinion and way of thinking and being on a young soul to which they are totally unfit. Cannot we let people be themselves, and enjoy life in their own way? You are trying to make that man another you. One’s enough.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
