WHS Logo Images Narrowed to Four by Mascot Committee

By Charlie Breitrose | October 18, 2017

The options for Watertown’s next mascot, or logo, to go with Watertown High School’s Raiders name were narrowed down to four Tuesday night and the decision will now be up to the School Committee. Before the final choice is made, the proposed logos will go to the public so they can give their input about which one they favor, said School Committee vice chairman Kendra Foley, who is chair of the Mascot Subcommittee. The committee was presented six possible concepts for the logo on Tuesday. The images looked different from the previous meeting in September when the group was unable to narrow the choices beyond six. After looking at the latest concepts, the group was uneasy with how they looked, saying that the liked some of the ones from the previous meeting better.

School Committee Decides on Future of WHS Mascot, Logo

By Charlie Breitrose | June 16, 2015

After weeks of debate, controversy and discussion, the School Committee came to a conclusion on what to do with the Watertown High School mascot and logo: Nothing. Officially, the school’s mascot is the Raiders and the school has no official logo. The School Committee voted unanimously to let the situation remain the same. The Controversy
This spring, the high school held a contest where students could come up with a logo for the school, with a restriction that it could not portray an American Indian or any other stereotypical display of a race or ethnicity. Some students and community members did not like the idea of changing the long-used mascot, and felt like it had been rushed into.

School District Seeking Community Input on WHS Mascot & Logo

By Charlie Breitrose | May 19, 2015

After hearing from many concerned Watertown residents and WHS alumni, school officials will be seeking input about the high school’s mascot and logo. The school decided to choose a new logo, and possibly a new nickname to replace the Red Raiders logo, which featured a cartoon-ized American Indian. The school continues to be called the Raiders, but for the past several years the school has not had a logo to put on uniforms, shirts and other items.

Students at the high school have been invited to enter a contest to design a new school logo (see more here). The finalists were supposed to be announced, and voted on this week. On Tuesday, however, Superintendent Jean Fitzgerald and WHS Principal Shirley Lundberg announced that the decision would take more time.
