Crofton High School Unveils Mascot, Colors

CROFTON, MD — Crofton High School officials have unveiled the school's new mascot: the cardinal. At the last Anne Arundel County Schools education board meeting, Crofton Principal Katie Feuerherd announced that the colors will match the cardinal and be red and black. The mascot and colors were selected by a committee of students and adults representing all schools that feed into Crofton High School.

“This further cements our identity, and it is a recognition of the rich tradition of youth leagues in our community that we want to build upon," Feuerherd said in a statement.

The $135 million school is Anne Arundel County Public Schools’ first new high school building since 1982. It will open for students in grades ninth and tenth in September 2020 and expand by a single grade in each of the next two years.
