In February 2019 a MEHS student addressed the Advisory Board requesting a change in the MEHS mascot.
The Advisory School Board requested the administration to gather information from students, staff, alumni, and families about this issue. After gathering input from many stakeholders, a committee will be put together to consider all of the comments and make a recommendation to the Advisory Board.
In the spring of 2019, a survey was distributed to students and staff at MEHS.
Red= Keep "the Braves", change logo/mascot
Yellow= Change both "the Braves" and the logo/mascot
Blue= Keep the current logo/mascot
Student Results (February 2019)
MEHS students who do not want to change the mascot wrote a position paper to keep the same logo and mascot.
MEHS Staff were also surveyed. This included both teaching and residential staff.
Staff Results (February 2019)
The survey allowed for comments
Alumni and Public were surveyed with a kick-off at the MEHS table at the 2019 AFN conference, which is a gathering spot for Alumni. The survey remains open on the website through today.
Alumni and Public Results (October 2019-June 2020)
As part of our information gathering, others are also invited to complete a survey.
