Has anyone completed the New School naming Survey? It is located on the WCPS website.
Heres the link:
Survey
By some of the rules, which I understand it is to be sensitive to all, they are going to make it really hard to pick a decent school name without it being Wise Directional.
My submission:
http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/565e1b2e.png
None of my buisness but I filled the thing out myself. For the PV/Appy school I put Wise West Timber Rattlers with the colors Baby Blue and Gold, for Kelly/Pound I put Wise Central Warriors with the colors Red and Black, and for Coeburn/St.Paul I put Wise East Demon Knights with the colors Blue and Purple.
How about the rest of you? What names you all favor?
My submission for the Wise/Pound school that I submitted:
Scott-Powers High school after both communities famous sons George C. Scott and Francis Gary Powers
Miners-after the backbone of our region,the coalminers
Black/White
1. We will not name the schools after any individual.
2. We will not use the name of any current school or mascots within the name.
3. We will not use the name of any of the towns within the name.
4. We will encourage a strong student voice in the naming of the school and mascots.
5. We will encourage a strong community voice in the naming of the school and mascots.
6. We will use this identification for new buildings that may be constructed in the future.
7. We will not select names/mascots that may be offensive to any group or nationality.
8. We will not have any more than three colors per school.
Is that official?
If it is, wouldn't it make sense for it to be on the survey page?
wait... just answered my own question... nevermind.
I threw my 3 suggestions in there. Would be fun if one of them ended up being picked.
Mine was like River Valley High School, the Wolfpack, black and red
three forks high school fightin' squirrels BY GOT!
Wise Central Highlanders - Red, Gray, White
Wise East Copperheads - Maroon, Gray, White
Wise West Miners - Black, Gray, White

I actually went with Three Forks as well for the Appy/PV...with Spartans.Quote:

Some friends and I were actually talking about the Gladeville, Guest River, Stone Mountain, etc. names too. I like those better than naming them after someone. I also always liked the Copperheads as a mascot for this area, but for colors I like bright copper with dark green, black and white ascent colors.Quote:

If you go with Gladeville,you put off the folks from Pound as Gladeville is the former name of the town of Wise. If you go with North Fork,that will not jive with the folks from Wise because of North Fork's affiliation with Pound and its river. Tweak it a bit and call it the North Point High School Highlanders and you have a winner:cool: Set the colors as red/gray like UVA-Wise
That was my thinking on the colors. I was thinking of the districts when thinking of Gladeville but I just like the sound of that.Quote:

I submotted my choices yesterday. Completely disregarded the rules, though, because my ideas saves a bunch of money, greatly minimizes the upcoming "who's that" confusion, AND continues the history of the "former" schools (which is why it has ZERO chance of being used) ...
Powell Valley Bulldogs - red & gold
JJ Kelly Wildcats - black & white
Coeburn Deacons - silver & purple
For Appy i really like (Stone Gap Stallions)
Wise/Pound and Coeburn/StPaul nothing jumps out at me
On a side note DC had there Last round of voting for mascot and colors and word is WolfPack won by a large margin with the colors being Black/(Silver?)/Teal(sp?)
The SB will need to approve it but I can't imagine that they will not
just call them the Indian Creek Young Guns. instead of just one guy out in a cowboy outfit and logo on the helmet you could have multiple guys on the sidelines dressed up in old west garb and the logo could be a shadow of about 5 cowboys on the helmet. could relate the strength in numbers concept, a team working together kind of deal.
something like this could be the logo but of course more representing cowboys, not musicians
