CAMBRIDGE, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- The Cambridge Central School District Board of Education adopted its new "Tigers" logo in a meeting on Thursday. According to the district, the logo will be implemented in the coming days, weeks, and throughout the school year.
The district held a vote in late March to determine once and for all a new school mascot/logo, after having originally picked the "Valley Wolves" on March 14. Along with Valley Wolves, Tigers and Eagles were also choices in the survey.
“The reconciliation meeting was a great opportunity for us to sit down and speak with a representative from the state,” said Ken Facin, interim superintendent of schools. “The conversation was open and honest and provided us with an opportunity to share our thoughts about the mascot process. We thank David for visiting Cambridge and speaking with us and we look forward to implementing a robust Native American curriculum for our students.”
“This was a great opportunity to convey strong Board and community sentiment that Cambridge was not fairly represented by the state in this process,” said Shay Price, Board President. “It was encouraging to hear from Mr. Frank how the state could have handled the process differently. I appreciate Mr. Frank taking the time to visit us and hear our concerns.”
