The Indian mascot at Port Neches-Groves is being challenged. The district received a
letter yesterday from the Cherokee Nations revoking a 1979 certification that called
the school district “Ambassadors of Goodwill”. In a letter on the school district’s
facebook pager, Superintendent Dr. Mike Gonzales says it is important to remember
that the PNG schools belong to the PNG communities and any further decisions on
this topic belong to the community. There are 26 high schools across the state of
Texas with the Indians mascot.
