ɫ��ɫ

At the ɫ��ɫ Central School Board of Education meeting on December 2, the board approved “Legends” as the district’s new nickname. The new nickname will go into effect on July 1, 2025.

The ɫ��ɫ Mascot Committee recommended “Legends” as the new nickname for the district following survey results from ɫ��ɫ CSD students and the greater ɫ��ɫ community.  

The choice speaks to the honor, strength and spirit that have always represented the hard work of ɫ��ɫ’s teams, clubs, programs and student body, and aligns with the current district logo.

In April 2023, the New York State Board of Regents voted unanimously to approve new rules banning the use of Native American culture in schools. This regulation requires school districts which currently use indigenous team names, logos, and mascots to eliminate the use of all indigenous names, logos, or mascots by the end of the 2024-2025 school year. While the district adopted a Roman Warrior logo 20 years ago, the NYS Education Department determined that the term Warrior is still connected to the Native American culture, and must be replaced.
