🐾Mascot: "Norwalk Truckers"

The Norwalk Truckers mascot is definitely one of the unique ones out there. Here’s the cool part: this mascot isn’t just some random choice – it has a rich history. Back in 1946, a local businessman named John F. Ernsthausen, who owned the Norwalk Truck Lines, offered to buy brand new uniforms for the football team and the marching band if they changed their name to the Truckers. Given that the team was using really old and worn-out gear, it was a no-brainer. The students voted unanimously, and since then, the Norwalk High School team has been known as the Truckers, rocking navy blue and gold colors 🚀. It’s a great example of how community support can make a big difference in a school’s spirit and identity. Ngl, it's pretty awesome to have a mascot that's so deeply rooted in local history ⭐
