Mascot
Information
Lady
Bird Johnson High School accepted mascot suggestions between
September 17 and October 19, 2007. Following campus
wide announcements to students, suggestion forms were provided
by the front offices at Bulverde Creek Elementary, Encino
Park Elementary, Roan Forest Elementary, Tejeda Middle,
Ronald Reagan High and MacArthur High Schools. Downloadable
suggestion forms were also posted to the Lady Bird Johnson
High School web site for all other schools and community
members to access. Additionally, suggestions were
accepted through e-mail to the school principal. Suggestions
were accepted from families and community members who lived
outside the potential Lady Bird Johnson High School attendance
zone.
During
the suggestion period, 591 suggestions containing 100 potential
mascot names were submitted. Over the course of two
meetings, held on October 11 and November 1, 2007, a mascot
committee of potential future Lady Bird Johnson High School
students and parents met to review and narrow the field
of suggestions. Presentations related to those
meetings, the committee's guidelines, and the committee's
decisions are available below. The suggestions
on the official Mascot Ballot (sample also available
below) represented the only names still under consideration
for the Lady Bird Johnson High School mascot at the time
of the student vote.
Although
students and families outside the potential Lady Bird Johnson
High School attendance zone were invited to submit mascot
suggestions, only current NEISD K-12 students living within
the Board adopted Lady Bird Johnson High School attendance
zone (which was determined at the November 12 meeting of
the Board of Trustees) were able to cast a ballot.
Parents did not cast a ballot.
Accordingly,
the following students were eligible to cast a Lady Bird
Johnson High School mascot ballot between Tuesday, November
13, 2007 and Thursday, November 15, 2007:
- All
students attending Bulverde Creek Elementary, Encino Park
Elementary, Roan Forest Elementary, and Tejeda Middle
Schools
- Some
students attending Canyon Ridge Elementary and Bush Middle
Schools
- Some
students attending Ronald Reagan High and MacArthur High
Schools
