School board votes to retire Hays High mascot

   The Hays CISD board of trustees voted unanimously this evening to retire the Rebel mascot at Hays High School and to allow the district’s superintendent to oversee the selection of a replacement.

  The only debate on the subject came when District 3 trustee Dr. Michael Sanchez argued the board should also be involved in choosing a new mascot, but none of the other trustees agreed with him.

   “Hate is not our community,” said board president Esperanza Orosco, trying, mostly unsuccessfully, to keep her emotions in check as she made the motion to approve the mascot retirement, a motion seconded by vice president Will McManus.
