Please share your ratings and input on the possible mascots for the CHS Captains. All current, former, and future community member (students, staff, parents, alumni, etc) input is welcomed.
Please note: none of these is the final design rendering; this feedback will be used to help determine next steps in the mascot design process. Additionally, the following values are what helped guide the team in deciding upon "Captains," which we hope the mascot itself will also represent:
Must positively represent the entire student body now and in years to come.
Should not be tied to anything harmful or disrespectful toward people or communities whether based on: (any possible nicknames and physical iterations/images must also follow this standard): Culture, ethnicity, gender, history, race, religion,social group identity
Can not repeat a current mascot of a high school within the San Diego Unified School District or a Clairemont Cluster school.
Try to avoid repeating any current mascots being used by high schools within San Diego County.
Must work with the school’s colors of Orange and Blue.
Does not need to be alliterative (e.g. the Clairemont Corgis).
