How was the name "Palisades" decided on? Every time this school is mentioned, the first thing that'll pop in my mind is teenagers from the '60's riding roller coasters.

Is he a former Vance/Chambers coach?

Edit did my snooping, Hough guy

They might.

Most of them probably live closer to Palisades than Hough anyway.

What is going to be the athletic nickname/mascot. I like names that go with the geographical area or a historical aspect but also something that is very unique. The Pimps and Pimpettes would be a slick one but I am sure the powers that be will nix that one.

 

[BlackAndYellowFellow]

What was their old mascot?

Waddell was the Raiders but I was referencing the new school, Palisades.

It is.

Now that you mention it, you’re right. I remember when they played Richmond and it was the Raiders vs Raiders.

Waddell was walking the plank before their CMS buses engines had cooled off from the trip to Rockingham.

Waddell Raiders. Palisades Pumas. They need to go all the way and be a Puma school plus have a live one as a mascot. Plenty of money down there.

 

[Olympic12$]

[MagisterO]

Mainly Olympic … little bit of Harding/south meck

From Charlotte Observer:

The new 100-classroom building will relieve overcrowding at South Mecklenburg, Ardrey Kell and Myers Park high schools. It will include athletic fields and a stadium. It’s scheduled to open in August 2024.
