A Pennsylvania district has a sense of its community back after Susquehannock High School reclaimed its “Warriors” mascot following its cancellation.

The Southern York County School District school board voted 7-2 Thursday to bring back the name.

Prior to the vote, there was a roughly two-hour-long session for public comment and a presentation from the Native American Guardians Association.

The community has a history with Native American roots, but the high school was forced to surrender its logo and mascot in 2021 following a school board vote, according to a report.

Now, the at least five new school board members, who ran on pro-Native American platforms, are in large part responsible for seeing the Warriors return to Susquehannock.

“This movement was about erasing Native American culture, and I wasn’t about to stand for it,” school board member Jennifer Henkel, a mother of three, said.

Former members of the board, including Deborah Kalina, do not seem to appreciate the new direction taken by the board, according to the report.

“They came into their new positions with bravado to push their personal agendas and not with humility to learn their jobs,” Kalina said.

She also backed the 2021 diversity committee argument that no evidence suggested natives of the Susquehannock tribe lived in what is now the school district.
