Tidbits: In June 2002, the Ossining school district shifted its nickname from the Indians to the Riverhawks, after then-state Education Commissioner Richard Mills recommended that districts stop using Native American symbols as mascots. Riverhawks won a student vote but the nickname never caught on. For a brief time, the school had no nickname and its logo was emblazoned with an O. The district finally settled on the Pride around 2013-14.
