⚔️Mascot: "Scotty"

Hey there Let's talk about a unique and intriguing mascot – the Scotty, but not just any Scotty, a tough-sounding, weapon-wielding one. This mascot is a bit of an oddity, but it's definitely interesting. Back in the 1940s, Highland Park High School in Texas briefly considered changing their mascot to a "Klansman," which is essentially a Scotsman with a fierce appearance, often depicted wielding weapons like swords or shields 🛡️. This mascot idea was part of a discussion to replace or complement their existing Scotty emblem, which featured a Scottish Terrier. The Klansman symbol was rooted in Scottish culture and was meant to reflect strength and bravery. Although the idea didn't stick, it's a fun fact to know that there was once a consideration for such a bold and tough-sounding mascot ⚡. So, the next time you think about school mascots, remember that some schools have some really cool, if not quirky, ideas ⭐
