At tonight’s EVSC School Board meeting, the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation officially announced the mascot and school colors for McCutchanville Elementary School, a new kindergarten through sixth grade school being built on Evansville’s northside. The school’s mascot will be the Mustangs and the school colors will be orange and blue, which matches the long-standing colors of McCutchanville Park.
The mascot and colors were voted on by Oak Hill and Scott students, which will both have students that will be attending the new school. Students at both schools were invited to submit their mascot and color ideas to their school. The schools then traded submissions and each school voted on their favorite mascot and school colors. After both schools voted, the Mustangs and orange and blue were resounding winners.
Out of nearly 90 submissions, seven students asked for the Mustangs to be the mascot and out of those seven, three students also submitted orange and blue as the school colors. All seven students were recognized in front of the EVSC School Board at tonight’s meeting for helping select the mascot and colors.
The new school is slated to open for the 2018-2019 school year. More information on the school’s location, attendance district and more can be found at www.evscschools.com.
