Mascot
The school considered itself "The Eagles" before becoming "The Highlanders". Girls' sport teams were known as "The Bald Eagles". The mascot was changed to its current form today in 1958 after a school-wide vote to instead reference the Scottish heritage of McLean, Virginia, with boys teams being called The Highlanders, and girls The Lady Highlanders. The Highlander, whose picture appeared at midcourt of the gym until recent years when it was changed to an 'M', was named 'Angus'.
