The Ketcham Indians mascot has a rich history, but it's also a story of change and growth. For 60 years, the sports teams at Roy C. Ketcham High School in New York were known as the Indians. However, in recent years, the school and the community recognized the need to respect and honor Native American cultures in a more thoughtful way. After a unanimous vote by the New York State Board of Regents to ban Native American mascots, the school decided it was time for a new identity. This transition shows how important it is to be respectful and inclusive, and it's a great example of a community coming together to make positive changes 🛡️. Now, the school teams are known as the "Storm," symbolizing strength and energy ⚡.
