Tyee High mascot retirement & school design info night is Thursday, July 21

Help Highline Public Schools retire the Tyee High Totem mascot with families, staff, alumni, community members and Friends of Tyee on Thursday, July 21, from 6 – 8 p.m. at Tyee High School.

The Totem (left) will become a Titan (right) mascot for Tyee High School, 

At this event you can also learn about the new school design from Integrus Architecture and get informed about the November bond that would fund construction of a new school.

All are welcome.

This event will include:

• • A presentation in the cafeteria will retire the Totem and introduce the Titan mascot.
  • Tyee alum Robin (Foster) Adams, class of 1971 has compiled a history of the Totem mascot on her blog.
  • Learn about the new home for many of the Totem items, which will be on display at the Highline Heritage Museum later this year.
  • Hear from our Native Education Program staff about the state law directing this transition and the district process that was guided by input from the Muckleshoot Tribe.
  • Hear students’ thoughts behind the choice of their new mascot, with a nod to history, and join us in supporting their Tyee school pride into the future.
  • Tour the campus, including the library and gymnasium.
