Where he went to middle school. (Poteau, Oklahoma)
I wonder how many parents choose another school just because of the name...

At LEAST it's a middle school and not a high school With that being said, DH grew up and went to school where the mascot was "the dandies" 1st of all why a dandy and what is it???? I came from the rival town and we always called them the pansies Sometime after I graduated they changed the school mascot

our highschool mascot was a grape.

yup-nothing instills fear in the heart of a rival team more than the prospect of of battling a team represented by a small cluster of fruit

All of you...

Fremont Ross high school mascot is the Little Giants. Yup a short fat guy. How scary were we?

Down here in Florida we have a school in gulf breeze. They are the dolphins. Dolphins are cute but not scary.

My DS goes to Little Flower Catholic and they are the Cardinals. A cute little red bird.

a school around me has "millionaires" as a mascot. Ooooooh scary rich people.

University of Minnesota--golden GOPHERS . Yes, very scary.....if you are a carrot.


OP, I think I would move before I would have to tell anyone my kid went to Pansy Kidd school.

My nephew goes to a private school that are the Golden Bears. Reminds me of Teddy Grahams every time.

I bet the rival team used all kinds of "getting squashed, squished" made into wine or "whine", etc.

My school mascot was "The Bulldogs", and we would play the Fisher Bunnies. Yep, can you imagine being on The Bunnies football team???

Really? What district? I don't think they're in our conference.

As for Pansy Kidd, We also have the "Cardinals" around here. Yes, a cute little bird. Very scary.

Well our mascot is the CHIX - as in chicken. Big fat chicken. Nope not scary at all. When we built a second high school in our town, they became the DUX - as in duck. Go figure. Makes me wonder what kind of stuff someone at the administration building is smoking.

My schools and kids schools always seemed alright... we were the bobcats.. my daughters were the tigers...
Now, my middle schooler is the 'generals'... finally getting away from animals.. LOL

South of Cleveland is a small city called North Royalton. A good friend of mine lives there and I always chuckle when I pass the sign that says,
​

"Welcome to North Royalton
Home of the Bees"​

I know it is their mascot, but didn't the first time. Pictured a swarm "welcoming" me. Now I get it, but I still think it is mildly amusing.​

My kids went to the Pennichuck Middle School - PMS. DS never would wear the school spirit t-shirt they gave out as they always just used the initials.

Oh TAG FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIRRRRRRRRY!

Growing up, I attended an elem school whose mascot was the "wrangler" and was actually a very cute little boy dressed in cowboy clothes. When I was in middle school,some parent took offense to the fact that it was a BOY and not a girl mascot. So they turned into a gender neutral racoon wearing a cowboy hat w/a lasso.

The local team here is the Lobos, which is the Hispanic word for "wolf" and there are lots of wolf-related items for sale all over the place. Hooowwwl!

I heard one time they were building a new elem. school in Dallas and were taking suggestions for names for the school. Some radio dj lobbied hard for "Jerry Haynes Elem. School". If you grew up in/around Dallas, you'd know Jerry Haynes better as good ol' Mr. Peppermint.

LMAO...that is bad!!
I went to Paradise High... PHS... Sounds like a wonderful beautiful school, but its just a small northern california town with NO views of the beach (which is trickery in my opinion)

 

[mickeyboat]

My high school's mascot was a Knight. The girls teams were "Ladies." That strikes fear in the hearts of our opponents!

DDs' elementary school's mascot is an Otter.

Our local high school - in the middle of Vermont, is a Hurricane.
