When it comes to unique and culturally rich mascots, the Totem Poles stand out, especially in Washington state. At Totem Middle School in the Marysville School District, the totem pole isn't just a mascot; it's a piece of art and history. The school's totem pole was crafted by Kelly Moses, a talented carver from the Tulalip Tribes, and was installed in 2006 when the school changed its name from Marysville Junior High to Totem Middle School 🐦. This mascot is more than just a symbol; it represents the connection between the school and the local Native American community. However, due to recent legislation in Washington state, schools are moving away from using Native American imagery as mascots to create a more inclusive environment 🛡️. Despite this, the totem pole at Totem Middle School remains a significant part of the school's heritage and cultural identity.
