D. If we were to develop a mascot for Incarnation Catholic School, what would the mascot be? How would he/she be dressed? How would it present ICS? I believe the mascot for our school would be a fighting leprechaun because we are the Irish, distinguished by our old pastor and we are fighting for our faith and our beliefs in God as Christians.

E. What is the mascot of the high school you will attend next year? Explain how does it represents the school? My future high school, Sickles High School, has no mascot in a costume. However their symbol is a gryphon because they are the Sickles Gryphons, this became their name for no reason and was randomly voted by students in the years that Mrs. Bennington was at the school.
