Marysville Pilchuck mascot decision postponed until spring
MARYSVILLE — The future of Marysville Pilchuck High School’s mascot is still up in the air.
Tulalip tribal council member Misty Napeahi told Marysville School Board members Wednesday that the tribes would like to get input from members at an annual general council meeting in March, then bring a decision to the School Board by the first week of April.
“There’s a lot of division” around whether or not to change Marysville Pilchuck’s Tomahawks mascot, Napeahi said.
Under a new state law, public schools are no longer allowed to use Native American names, symbols or images as mascots unless the local tribe approves.
