No Snow Job: Tuscarora High School Picks Huskies as Mascot

This news is from the Loudoun County Public Schools: "The Husky will be the mascot of Tuscarora High School when it opens in September 2010.

Principal Pamela Paul-Jacobs polled students at Loudoun County and Heritage high schools and Smart's Mill Middle School about their preferences for mascots and school colors. The Husky won the mascot voting with 688 votes, followed by Timberwolves with 529 and Tigers with 231.

Tuscarora's colors will be royal blue, black and white. This color combination garnered 764 votes, followed by black and gold with 602 and red and gold with 82."

The Husky? Hmmmmm.  Maybe I'll grow to like it but Anchorage Huskies ... that I get! While it does snow from time to time in Loudoun, I have yet to see anybody pulled by a team of Huskies!

  1. I voted for the huskies because I thought "The Tuski Huskies" had a certain vibe to it.

  2. Brandon ... I didn't think of that! Tuski Huskies does have a ring to it ... Could have also gone for Tuscarora Miller and assure the school of plenty of advertising from Tuscarora Mill ... the orginal Tuski's! I'm looking forward to the new H.S. opening, epsecially that turf field!

  4. True enough ... both the new high schools opening next year, Tuscarora and Woodgrove, will have the synthetic turf ... something the other 10 high schools have been dreaming about for years ... should really help the county in all areas as youth teams can now hold out of season tournaments on these fields in all kinds of weather and generate revenue
