Mascot

Humboldt's mascot was formerly the Indians. School officials spent months deciding whether to change the school's mascot due to the continuing Native American mascot controversy. The use of Native American mascots in sports has become a contentious issue in the United States and Canada. [11] In 1988, the school's Parent/Community Advisory Committee decided to keep the mascot after a 555 to 64 vote (90%). [12] The school then proceeded to add an Indian education curriculum. [13] There were several attempts to convince the Saint Paul School Board to keep the mascot. [14][15] In 1989, a committee of the school board asked that Humboldt change its logo after the State Board of Education requested all schools in Minnesota change their mascots. Local American Indians viewed the mascot as a "symbol of ethnic and community pride". A week later the school board required Humboldt to change its mascot. [16][17] The school hosted several rallies to try and save the mascot and held walk outs led by American Indian students. [18][19] After the district asked the state department of education for assistance the state department deferred the decision to the district. The district then deferred the change to the community who voted to keep the mascot. The school board attempted to change the mascot again in 1992, when almost 88% of the school's American Indian students voted to keep the mascot. [20] After four years the school board changed the school's mascot with the new logo, the Hawks, being used in the 1992-1993 school year. [21][22]
