Petition to Keep the Warriors Mascot

Walton School District Alumni, students 6th-12th grade, community members & Walton School District taxpayers including Trout Creek ONLY!


We support creating opportunities for all students to participate, compete, and feel included. We recognize the benefits that a combined athletic program can bring to our students and communities. However, we firmly believe that changing the Warriors mascot is not necessary to achieve those goals.

The Warriors mascot represents far more than a name on a uniform. It represents generations of tradition, school pride, community involvement, athletic achievements, and countless memories shared by students, athletes, families, alumni, and supporters.

Merging athletic programs should not mean sacrificing the history and identity our community has spent generations building. We believe it is possible to move forward together, embrace new opportunities, and build a stronger athletic program while still honoring the traditions that have brought us this far.

A successful merger should focus on expanding opportunities, strengthening our teams, and bringing communities together—not eliminating a symbol that holds such deep meaning for so many.

We respectfully urge the School Board and all involved decisionmakers to listen to the voices of students, families, alumni, and community members who wish to see the Warriors mascot preserved. We ask that the history, pride, and traditions associated with the Warriors be given meaningful consideration before any final decision is made.

We can unite as one team without giving up who we are.

Please stand with us in supporting the continuation of the Warriors mascot.
