No, Helena High is just that. Helena Capital is the other. This name is a big improvement, although you could have called it Bozangeles for all I really care.
I would love cutthroats. Pirates and fish mascots. Arrgh.Joe Bobcat wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2019 11:42 pmSo have they picked a mascot yet?
I'm still pulling for speed goats AKA prong horns.
Big horns has a good ring to it too.
I saw Mountaineers somewhere. Not sure if that was just what somebody was hoping for or if that's a done deal.Joe Bobcat wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2019 11:42 pmSo have they picked a mascot yet?

Not done yet...Voting for mascot and colors goes until March 29th...Mountaineers seems to be the most popular, but bird names are big in Bozemankennethnoisewater wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 10:31 amI saw Mountaineers somewhere.

When the public originally sent in suggestions, six mascot ideas were submitted 50 times or more, and those are on the list of 24 going in the student poll:
1. Cougars
2. Mountaineers
3. Rams
4. Raptors
5. Trout
6. Wolverines
The Transition Committee added another 18 mascot ideas:
7. Anglers
8. Avalanche
9. Badgers
10. Blizzard
11. Coyotes
12. Elk
13. Explorers
14. Geysers
15. Highlanders
16. Lightning
17. Mountain Goats
18. Osprey
19. Raptors (bird logo)
20. Raptors (dinosaur logo)
21. Ravens
22. Storm
23. Timberwolves
24. Yetis
https://www.bozemandailychronicle.com/n ... n=bozchronWhen it came to colors, the Transition Committee narrowed the public’s 622 suggestions to a list of 11:
1. Black and light blue
2. Black and royal blue
3. Black and silver
4. Black and white
5. Royal blue and orange
6. Navy blue and orange
7. Light blue and purple
8. Royal blue and purple
9. Royal blue and red
10. Navy blue and red
11. Orange and gray
The committee ended up picking two student favorites and two staff favorites, and one that was on both lists.
The next step is that the community and students who will attend the new school will have the chance to vote on their favorites in one-week online polls starting Thursday or Friday.
The community poll will be posted on the Bozeman School District’s website’s homepage (www.bsd7.org).

Mountaineers is not as hard to say as Banana Slugs.Bobcat4Ever wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2019 2:29 pmSort of strange. The survey did not include a group for graduates of Bozeman (Senior) High. It specifically defines Rams as a male mountain sheep. What are the girls teams going to be called? The Lady Rams? That's sort of oxymoronic. And I’m not sure when someone says Raptors that dinosaurs are the first thing to mind. I tend to think of the Bridger Mountains raptor migration, and the type of raptors of which a Hawk is one. That sort of leaves Mountaineers which is certainly representative of the area, and equally includes Girls' and Boys' teams, but could be a mouthful for play-by-play. Who would have thought picking a mascot would be so hard. Are any of the colors a match for Mountaineers? I'd like to see some green for mountains. These are just my random thoughts as I tried to respond to the survey. Anyone else scratching their head?

And if it's Rams, I promise they won't be the first school with that mascot.
