Natick High students will choose today from two proposed designs for the Red Hawk logo.
The choices have been narrowed from six to two. And by the end of today, there will be one. Natick High students today will choose between two tentative designs for the Red Hawk logo. The mascot replaces the temporary "Red and Blue," name, which essentially was a bridge between the Redmen and now, the Red Hawks. "The designer gave us six logos, and we decided to go from six to two," said Principal Rose Bertucci. "We'll choose the final one (today.)" After much debate and some degree of controversy, the Red Hawks were chosen in early May as the "official" Natick High mascot. The Red Hawk will assume its position in Natick's history when the new high school opens in the fall. Following complaints from the Native American community, Natick …

The vote may have been influenced by a red hawk flying through a school window last year.
A school mascot is more than a name; it's an identity, aimed to bring together the community and facilitate a sense of pride. So when Natick High switched in 2009 from the traditional "Redmen" name to "Red and Blue," it didn't sit well with some who saw the Redmen name not as offensive, but as an identity. It's principal Rose Bertucci's hope, however, that the newly chosen "Red Hawks" mascot will play just as large a role in the school's history. More than half of 750 votes cast for a new mascot on Tuesday went to the Red Hawks. The second most popular choice was the Knights, which captured 22 percent of the vote. An informal vote of eighth-graders from both middle schools also showed Red Hawks as the favorite. "There's still a wound …
