Meet the Clerks, one of the most unique mascots you'll ever come across, especially in the USA. This mascot belongs to Cardozo High School in Washington, D.C., and it's a real standout. Here's the cool part: the name "Clerks" doesn't come from office workers or store clerks, but from a historical figure named Francis Lewis Cardozo, who was a clergyman and politician. Back in medieval times, clergymen were some of the few people who could read and write, making them trusted to keep records – hence the term "cleric," which later evolved into "clerk." So, the Clerks mascot is all about honoring this rich history and the importance of knowledge 📖. It's a one-of-a-kind name that shows how school mascots can be more than just a fun symbol; they can also teach you something new.
