The Glens Falls City School District is officially showing off its new mascot.
The district revealed the black bear design at a rally at the high school. The black and red bear is a result of a two-month-long design process.
Students voted on the new mascot in April.
The district mascot was previously known as the Glens Falls Indians.
The New York State Education Department set a June deadline for schools to remove mascots associated with Native Americans.
