Mascot Application Speech

Though my district prides itself on preparing students for college, football is still king. It seems as if Round Rock requires at least one of its five 5-A schools to be good at football. In 2010, Cedar Ridge High School was created in the Round Rock Independent School District. Strangely enough, once Cedar Ridge opened, all high schools seemed to be concerned about their football teams. All of the extraordinary players were primarily from the area of the city that Cedar Ridge was being built. Rather than being proud of Round Rock for accommodating more people due to the school’s location, citizens were angered when Cedar Ridge became the new powerhouse in football. Citizens of Round Rock not being able to put instances such as this in perspective and celebrate a new school is a major similarity to the Odessans of 1988.

Chino Hills High School Huskies are known throughout the district for having a great sense of "Husky Pride." This is because the Huskies have a lot of school spirit, and compassion for everything on our campus. However, this 2016-2017 school year, "Husky Pride" has become "Husky PRIDE!"

Have you ever heard of rodeo? I’m sure you have but did you know that it’s a mixture of many events such as Barrel Racing, Bull Riding, and many, many more. In the text below I will be walking you through who invented rodeo and a couple of events in rodeo.

“Cheerleading is my favorite high school memory”, said senior Molly Dudas. Many of the cheerleaders would agree, it is a privilege and an honor to be a part of the tradition and school spirit that makes STA. The cheerleaders revelle their favorite parts of the long season “This is my second year cheering for the sta basketball team and every season is always a blast! There’s never a dull moment cheering for the best team around with your friends. Can’t wait to try out again for the squad!”,said sophomore Carli Brent. The girls are always encouraging each other to keep cheering even in the worst of loses on and off the court. “Cheering at STA is like having a second family”, said senior Emily Huard. “Being apart of something so uplifting

The Iowa State Fair Queen is, in my opinion, one of the most influential women for the State of Iowa. She serves her state proudly and represents the youth in a way nobody else can! The State Fair Queen is the heart and soul of Iowa, and proves to be an outstanding role model for the youth and all communities. By being selected as my county’s Fair Queen, I am beyond grateful to be able to be in the running for the 2015 State Fair Queen. I adore being there for others and lending my hands wherever I go. I am constantly on the go as traveling is a love of mine, as well as public speaking. In the future, I plan on going into Communications with the intentions to help others and being someone they see as someone to go to. The Iowa State Fair is a

“The Atlanta Exposition Speech” by Booker T. Washington, “The Talented Tenth” but W.E.B. DuBois, and “The Negro’s Place in American Life at the Present Day” by T. Thomas Fortune were written during the end of the nineteenth century when African Americans were faced with great challenges on a range of different levels. These documents are very like one another considering they are all addressing the same issues, but I also feel like each of them are unique from one another because of the person who wrote them. Washington focuses more on an industrial education so the blacks can go to school. He has the whites to believe that it will also affect them and make things better for them at the time and that they will

Many areas of the world have been affected because they were accused of having a racist mascot or team name. In the United States many teams have respect for Native Americans. Counterpoint: Native American-Themed Sports Teams Represent the History and Traditions of the Areas They Represent, and Changing Names Does a Disservice to the

I believe the name of the new school being built should be named after a local important historical figure in our community. I believe that's the best way to name it because alumni of our previous school would appreciate us keeping the school name local, which could possibly inspire them to donate us money to help build up our school. I believe the mascot should stay relatively similar to the one of our old school because, we all still live in the same community so why not have a similar mascot.

“The Center for Indigenous Peoples Studies at California State University in San Bernardino surveyed 400 individuals, 98 of them Native Americans, and found that 67 percent of Native Americans agreed the "Redskins team name is a racial or racist word and symbol."” (Steele). Some mascots are offensive and racist to certain cultures and races. In, 2005, the NCAA banned schools with Native American mascots from hosting a national championship game (ProQuest Staff). Changing the mascot won’t change the history of the school or team. Some people feel unwelcome because of certain mascots. Some mascots should be banned because they are stereotypical, dishonor cultures, and are offensive.

Park is where my mother and her siblings graduated from high school, as Indians. Shortly after they all graduated, it was brought to the schools attention that Native Americans would like Park to no longer use Indians as its mascot because of the offensive nature. Without hesitation, Park changed its logo and apologized to the Native American community that brought the issue of discrimination to the schools attention, but students remained confused. When I spoke to my mom about the name change she was confused on why anyone would care about the mascot, being a Park High Indian was something to be proud of and she and others did not understand why anyone would get upset and make the school change mascots. Bottom line is, Park’s mascot was based on another culture, the people of the culture believed it to be offensive and that is why it had to

I hope that my speech has shed some light on the bulldog breed. Their history, unique features, and random facts, and I wish that you have all learnt something new about them today. Thankyou for you're time."

First and foremost the mascot has a huge connection to the town in the historical and occupational aspects. One of Floodrock’s major industries is coal mining so many families have some sort of tie to the coal mining industry. A miner as a mascot would fit in perfectly with the school because our school
