Fairfield-Suisun board hears process for Armijo mascot review – Daily Republic

By Glen Faison

The Fairfield-Suisun School District governing board got a first look Thursday at the process to review whether or not the Armijo High School mascot – the Indian – is an appropriate mascot in the 21st century or if it should be changed.

They also heard from people who consider themselves stakeholders in the outcome – both for and against continued use of the mascot.

Speakers who support keeping the current mascot spoke of the history of the school that was founded in 1891 and its legacy among its graduates, and the costs associated with essentially rebranding the school. One described the depiction of the Indian mascot as “beautiful and respectful.”
