Why a Unicorn for a Mascot!!!!
NBISD can (and will) brag about its athletics, academics, extracurriculars, and even humanitarian efforts...but the piece of the school’s culture that really makes it magical is its other-worldly mascot: the Unicorn. This longtime mascot of New Braunfels Unicorns has inspired a culture of school spirit that’s truly unlike any other. So how on earth did the unicorn become such a unique mascot? It turns out the use of the Unicorn as a mascot (beginning in 1928) was a sort of delightful accident. Originally taken from the coat of arms of Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels, this blue unicorn in a gold field was a nod to the city’s German roots. However, it was later discovered that the seal had been misinterpreted...the coat of arms had depicted a lion instead! Despite this misunderstanding, the school district has soldiered on with the Unicorn throughout the years. According to investigations, New Braunfels High School is the only high school in Texas, and probably in the United States, that has the Unicorn as its mascot. So in honer of this unique mascot I present "The Unicorn Song".
