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? If we could have a mascot, I'd choose a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes. He would wear a red polo with low khaki jeans, a white cardigan and white shoes. His name would be Niall. He would represent ICS because he will have a strong Irish accent, he will be able to Irish dance. Since, we are called "Incarnation Irish".

E. What is the mascot of the high school you will attend next year? Explain how does it represents the school? A crusader. I think it represents the brave and strong attitude of the students to overcome anything ever possible.
