On behalf of the Shady Side Academy Mascot Search Committee, we are excited to invite you to submit your suggestions for Shady Side Academy's next mascot and team name! We are counting on all of you – alumni, students, parents, faculty and staff – to share your ideas that will unite and inspire our community for generations to come. Check out the video and submit your suggestions using the link below by 9 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2020.

The Mascot Search Committee will conduct an extensive review of the submissions using our approved search parameters to narrow the list down to a group of semifinalists, and then we'll be asking for your input again! As a committee, our goal is to create and steward a search process that's transparent and that allows all community members to participate, and this is an opportunity to build community spirit and have fun!

Visit the Mascot Search web page for more details about the Mascot Search Committee, approved search parameters and a timeline of what lies ahead. Each of you plays an important role, and we can't wait to see the suggestions start rolling in!

Thank you for your ongoing support of Shady Side Academy,

Bob Grandizio '91 and Jamie Scott '98
Co-Chairs, Mascot Search Committee
