The mascot of Radnor High School is the Raptors.
Radnor High School's Mascot: The Raptors
Radnor High School, part of the Radnor School District, officially adopted the Raptors as its new mascot. This decision reflects a recent change made by the school board to update the school's identity.
Evolution of the Mascot
Previously, Radnor High School used the nickname "Raider" for its athletic teams and as a general school mascot. However, the school board decided to eliminate the "Raider" nickname from both the high school and middle school. This change was initiated due to concerns regarding the nickname's association with Native American imagery, aiming for a more inclusive and appropriate representation.
The transition to the Raptors mascot ensures that the school's identity aligns with current community values and avoids imagery that could be deemed insensitive.
