Flint Central High School - Mascot Change

Mascot Change

The mascot of Flint Central High School since 1928 was the Indian. In 2001 the Flint Board of Education voted to phase out school mascots that made reference to Native Americans in all of Flint's schools. This affected other school mascots as well including the Pierce Elementary School Arrows (although the mascot name is a reference to the automobile model, not the weapon), and the Whittier Junior High School Braves. The changeover was completed for the 2005-2006 school year.

    What would it mean to live
    in a city whose people were changing
