TUSTIN
Pioneer Middle School has barely been open three months, but it didn’t take long for students to get fed up with being called the Pioneer Pioneers on Pioneer Road.
“It sounds real lame,” 13-year-old Asra Aziz said. “There are way too many pioneers.”
The mascot name has got to go, according to many students who are urging the Tustin Unified School District Board of Trustees to allow them to be called the Pioneer Wildcats.
The school board will vote on the name change Dec. 13.
