Mascot and School Colors for Riverdale Ridge High School:  Mascot: Raven  Colors: Dark Blue, Light Blue, & Silver We are excited to share with you the mascot and school colors for Riverdale Ridge High School: Mascot: Raven Colors: Dark Blue, Light Blue, & Silver Background The following process was used for developing the mascot and color scheme: Comprehensive review of existing mascots for high schools in the immediate area as well as the state overall; the review included looking at mascots used nationally, but focus was on local area high schools Mascots were identified for a community survey using the following key factors: o Original mascot in relation to surrounding high schools, state, and nation o Supportive of positive school spirit/pride o Relevance to area Similar research was conducted for color schemes, adding a review of most popular college color combinations to identify a large sampling of possible color combinations for community consideration A community survey was conducted from May 15th-21st and was reopened due to requests from students through Facebook and the 27J communications department from May 23rd-28th o The primary distribution of the survey was through the Brantner and West Ridge elementary school communities as these are the only two feeder schools with 100% of their boundary incorporated into the RRHS boundary o District web pages also promoted the survey Results of the survey were analyzed by the Riverdale Ridge administration team to make the final selection of the mascot (Raven) and school colors (Dark Blue, Light Blue, and Silver) The following key considerations were leveraged in making selecting the mascot: Originality: The raven was viewed by all as a unique high school mascot. While a bird is used by fellow SD27J high school Prairie View (the Thunderhawks), the use of a Raven is limited nationally as well as locally. No other high school in Colorado employs the Raven as their mascot. Sample designs demonstrated the ability to avoid using black as part of the color scheme, which was important as PVHS has black a primary school color. Relevance to area: The raven does exist in the state and in Adams County. In addition to the raven being a habitant of the area, as the subject of the famous poem by Edgar Allen Poe, the raven also captures the folklore related to Riverdale road being haunted. Supportive of school culture: The raven is often seen as symbolizing wisdom knowledge, creation, and prestige. The Northwest Native Americans revere the raven as creator of many things and a benevolent figure who helps people. Considered to be one of the most intelligent birds, displaying an ability to use logic in tests, the raven is a clever bird often seen as a playful. Clever, intelligent, revered, benevolent, and playful all are positive representations for RRHS. Additionally, being feared as a mysterious and an intimidating bird of prey is positive for our athletic teams. Community survey results: With over 500 survey responses, the lion and raven shared approximately 1/3 each of the total count and both were the clear favorites by the student respondents. The lion was recommended as the symbol for a mascot of “Royals” in nearly a dozen individual responses. The alliteration of Ravens with Riverdale Ridge was cited by several as a desired consideration, however, several other alliterations were shared (Royals, Rattlers, Raptors, Rangers, etc.). Of the six classifications of respondents (elementary school student, middle school student, high school student, parent/family member, community member without a student, and 27J staff member) the raven was preferred by four of the six and was second most favored by the other two groups. The following key considerations were leveraged in selecting the school colors: The color scheme selected is unique for the area, however, it is not uncommon in sports, clubs, schools The three colors can be used in supporting the selected mascot The community survey drove the final selection o Dark blue/light blue received the highest percentage of responses o Dark blue and light blue were also high response colors when individually paired with white o Silver/green was the second highest selected color scheme (driven by parent/family members and an equal number of elementary students selecting Dark blue/light blue as they did Silver/green). Green/white was the least favored color combination. The addition of the trim color of silver is in recognition of the silver/green favored scheme. Having a three color scheme provides for a wide variety of design options moving forward.

  • Of Our Schools
    Lake Washington School District History of Our Schools Honoring the Past - Imagining the Future Lake Washington School District History beginnings September 12, 1944 marked the beginnings of what is now known as Lake Washington School District #414. On that date sixty years ago three small districts in the area – Juanita, Kirkland, and Redmond – were incorporated into one. That district, for a short time called the Kirkland Consolidated School District, was the beginning of today’s Lake Washington School District. Lake Washington, the sixth largest district in the state, stretches from Lake Washington to Lake Sammamish. But the district really got its start back in the late 1800’s when the area was still forested hillsides and travel between what are now the cities of Redmond and Kirkland constituted a major trip over what was then a pathway through the forest. Schools were being operated in log cabins throughout the area now known as Lake Washington School District in the small communities and settlements of Houghton, Juanita, Northup, Avondale, Happy Valley, Kirkland and Redmond. The school district system that began back then was transplanted from the mid-western and eastern states. Washington’s early communities were widely separated and school boundaries were drawn without reference to other settlements around them. As more and more settlers arrived, the number of school districts increased. In 1910 there were 2,710 school districts in Washington. As early as 1903, the state was passing legislation to consolidate school districts. And a number of the smaller districts in this area were ultimately to become parts of Juanita, Kirkland, and Redmond Districts.

  • History of the School District of Westfield
    1856 The first one-room schoolhouse was built on the corner of Fourth Street and Main Street in the Village of Westfield. The school was a little red building with two windows, a few desks, a table and bench for the teacher. One teacher, Miss Waldo, age 16, was hired to teach reading, arithmetic, writing, spelling and geography. The surrounding area was home to many one-room schools that served the children in the immediate neighborhood. These schools were for children of all ages/grades and had only one teacher, who in addition to teaching, also kept the school warm and clean. 1859 There were enough families living in the area to justifying building a larger school. The original school was purchased by Sam Crocket and turned into a general store. The second school was built on land donated by village founder, Robert Cochrane. This school was located farther south on Main Street, had two rooms, one above and one below. It served as a grade school for the next 28 years. When this school was replaced, it was moved to the corner of Third and Main Streets. 1882 A 3-year high school program was adopted. Thirty-seven students enrolled. There were three graduates in 1886 and eight in 1887. The Westfield Union Free High School District #1 was formed. 1887 A new school was built on Main Street in Westfield. (Currently the location of Supervalu) The grade school students were downstairs and the high school students upstairs. There were two teachers and their salary was $90 per month.

  • History, Tradition, and School Colors
    History,Tradition, and School Colors Dating back to RIT’s days as the Rochester Athenaeum and RIT lettermark, the official identity mark. Mechanics Institute, the school colors were blue and grey. Following the name change to Rochester Institute of Technology, the athletic teams were known as the Techmen. Following the undefeated basketball season of 1955–56, the team and coaches suggested a fiercer and more collegiate- sounding name, and the team became the RIT Tigers. In 1957, the RIT Orange RIT Student Government voted to change the school colors to brown, orange and white.This concept was tied loosely to the colors of the tiger and an analysis of what colors were already in use by other universities. (At that time, RIT kept a live tiger as a mascot that was transported to and from the Seneca Park Zoo for campus events.) Pantone 165 CMYK C=0 M=60 Y=100 K=0 In 1968, with the move to the new campus, the colors were RGB R=255 G=94 B=0 refined to burnt umber (Pantone 1675) and orange (Pantone 165) WEB SAFE CC6600 to correspond more closely to the brickwork of the new campus. Although these remain the official school colors, some latitude is allowed in fashionwear to provide appealing clothing. RIT Brown In 1989, University Publications was asked to create a new graphic standard for all RIT publications, letterhead, business cards, etc., that uses the RIT lettermark at the top right of this page.The configuration of letters and dots in this lettermark can be traced back to the 1950s, when an earlier RIT seal was designed and implemented.
