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 think it would most likely be a leprechaun considering your mascot now is "The Irish". I think it would present us nicely depending on how it is dressed. We could present it as a mean, green, fighting machine. We could also present it as a sweet cartoon-like character.

E. What is the mascot of the high school you will attend next year? Explain how does it represents the school?
