Thank you to everyone who submitted a response to the logo redesign community survey. We greatly value your input in this important process! Below are a few quick updates and facts to help keep everyone in the know.

Update:

• The Logo Redesign Committee will review the survey responses with Jostens in early February.
• That discussion will help guide the future of our district identity and the new logo design.

Fast Facts:

• We will remain the "Rockets," but with a fresh look for our logo.
  
• The new logo will be phased in over time throughout our schools and campuses as things need to be replaced, repainted, refurbished, etc.
  
• The Logo Redesign Committee comprised of parents, staff, administration, students, and alumni will determine the new logo with the help of Jostens.

Fun Logo/Mascot History:

• The current SG Rockets logo was designed by former Community Relations Coordinator, Lisa Smith in the late 90s.
• The Rocket mascot came to fruition in 1949 courtesy of a student competition to determine a mascot for the basketball team. Lindy (Miller) Uffleman, submitted the ROCKET as the mascot, and she won.
• Thank goodness for her winning submission....skunks and teddy bears were also submitted.
