The Mascot Selection and Rebranding Project is a result of a Sept. 2, 2020 vote by the RTSD School Board to retire Radnor High School's previous mascot and team name, "Raiders," and all related Native American imagery. The district is now seeking suggestions for a new nickname and mascot as we move forward as one community.
The Mascot Selection and Rebranding Committee will review the suggestions against the below criteria, and 8-10 suggestions will move to the next round of the selection process.
