The Port Huron Area School District will be discussing school mascots district-wide following a recent petition drive. School district spokesperson Keely Baribeau, in a statement to WPHM says, ” The district welcomes the opportunity to pull together a diverse stakeholder group and review our mascots across the district. We value both the traditions of our district and the need to engage in discussions around this topic.” Baribeau adds that the Port Huron Area School District’s current focus is preparing for the upcoming school year. Classes are set to resume in the district August 24th. The current mascot of Port Huron High School is the Big Reds. Michigammee Elementary also has a Native American themed mascot, the Little Chiefs.
