Raft

To: The Students of Tohatchi and Community Members


As you all know, our school mascot has been the Cougar for a long time. It has represented our school in many sports and we have won many tournaments with it. It has been our inspiration for many years, but it is time for us to change it.

I believe that this change is for the good of the whole school. Changing it to a Native American mascot, I believe, better represents our school and us. The cougar has served our school well for a long time and it is with my deepest sorrow in changing it. However, a Native American mascot represents us better. Let’s forge a new history for this mascot and may it be a great one!

Your opinions are greatly appreciated, of course. You, as students, should have a say in this, as you are the ones that keeps the school spirit and mascot alive. Community members’ opinions are welcome, too. All your comments and opinions please let me know.


Respectfully Yours,

Your Principal
