Montrose High changing mascot from Indians to Red Hawks, Centennial Middle changing from Braves to Bears
Montrose County School District officially selected new mascots for Montrose High and Centennial Middle School at a special session of the school board Tuesday night. The district estimates nearly a million dollars in costs to complete the process, driven by a new state law outlawing derogatory mascots.
