FHS-Mascot-Change

Dear Frederick High Community,

Thank you for your continued partnership and support as we celebrate a strong start to the new academic year. As Dr. Young shared in June, Colorado has passed recent legislation that would prohibit the use of American Indian Mascots, including the continued use of our Warrior mascot beginning June 2022. 

As we move forward, student, teacher, staff, parent, and community input is an important part of the mascot identification process. Accordingly, earlier this summer, I convened an advisory committee of students, parents, elected officials, teachers, and community members to guide the mascot identification work over the coming months and help shape the future of Frederick High School. Toward this end, the advisory committee has opened a survey to solicit community feedback and suggestions for our school’s next mascot. Please take a minute to complete the survey and submit up to three mascot suggestions. The committee will reconvene in September to review all suggestions and narrow down final recommendations that will be on a future Board of Education meeting agenda for approval.

Again, I want to thank you for being such an important part of our Frederick High School community. If you have any questions about this change or the survey, please feel free to contact me directly.

Sincerely,

Russell Fox, Principal

Frederick High School

Estimada comunidad de la Preparatoria Frederick, 

Gracias por su colaboración y apoyo continuos mientras celebramos un fuerte comienzo del nuevo año académico. Cómo compartió el Dr. Young en junio, Colorado aprobó una legislación reciente que prohibirá el uso de mascotas Indias Americanas, incluido el uso continuo de nuestra mascota Guerrero (Warrior) a partir de junio de 2022.

A medida que avanzamos, los comentarios de nuestros estudiantes, maestros, personal, padres y miembros de la comunidad son parte importante del proceso de identificación de la nueva mascota. A principios de este verano, formamos un comité de maestros, estudiantes, padres y líderes de la comunidad para guiar el trabajo de identificación de mascotas durante los próximos meses y ayudar a dar forma al futuro de la preparatoria Frederick. Con este fin, el comité ha abierto una encuesta para solicitar comentarios y sugerencias de la comunidad para la próxima mascota de nuestra escuela. Por favor tómese un minuto para completar la encuesta y enviar hasta tres sugerencias de mascotas. El comité se volverá a reunir en septiembre para repasar todas las sugerencias y reducir las recomendaciones finales que estarán en la agenda de una futura reunión de la Junta de Educación para su aprobación. 

Nuevamente, quiero agradecerles por ser una parte tan importante de nuestra comunidad de la preparatoria Frederick Si tiene alguna pregunta sobre este cambio o la encuesta, no dude en ponerse en contacto conmigo directamente. 

Atentamente, 

Russell Fox, Director

Preparatoria Frederick
