Board OKs changing Saudi Daisy Middle School mascot to ‘Baby Trojans’
Summary
Hamilton County Schools Board voted to align Saudi Daisy Middle School’s mascot with its high school by adopting “Baby Trojans”; board members said the change will ease transitions and reduce duplicated purchases when students advance.
The Hamilton County Schools Board voted to change the Saudi Daisy Middle School mascot to “Baby Trojans,” aligning the middle school’s identity with the high school and reducing costs for families who otherwise would replace spirit items when students move to ninth grade.
Board members discussed historical names and alternatives before approving the change by roll-call vote. A board member noted the change would mean students would not need to purchase different gear when they enter high school. The chair and other members supported the idea as a way to create continuity across school levels.
The motion carried on roll call. Members also briefly discussed consistency across other feeder patterns and whether elementary-level mascots should be reviewed for similar alignment.
Ending: The change was approved and will be reflected in school communications and upcoming events.
Quote: “That’s why we’re changing it to baby Trojans now,” one board member said during the discussion.
