Aloha High School begins transition to new logo away from Hawaiian warrior imagery

Aloha High School is changing its logo, which has depicted a Hawaiian warrior resembling King Kamehameha since the 1960s. The school will keep the "Warriors" name but will adopt a new design featuring a block "A," a shield, and a wolf mascot. The decision follows a commitment to inclusivity by the Beaverton School District, which aims to move away from mascots that represent specific human figures or genders. A design team is working on new logo options, with a final decision expected this summer. Previously, Aloha High School was not required to change its logo under Oregon's 2012 mandate against Native American imagery, as its mascot referenced Hawaiian culture. However, community discussions about the logo's appropriateness have been ongoing for years.
