WE ARE
WARRIORS FOR CHRIST!
I
n 2006, Anne Langhorne Jeffrey ‘06 convinced the school community that the superintendent had decided to change the school mascot from the Warriors to the Wombats. This clever senior prank caused quite a stir among teachers and students who were shocked by the change. We all breathed a huge sigh of relief when the ruse was finally revealed.
Now, as Westminster embarks on its 60th anniversary, we again affirm, “We are the Warriors!” We are Warriors for Christ, based on Ephesians 6:10-20, which admonishes us to “put on the full armor of God.” In recent years, the use of a mascot or physical representation of our Warrior had become passé. Instead, the “W” and the “the dub” had become popular among students. This natural development of our mascot over the years has provided us with an opportunity to reflect on how to best honor our past and shape the future for current Warriors and for those to come. Together with athletics and student leadership, we present the newly redesigned Warrior mascot. The Westminster Warrior reflects the school’s mission and core values, and stays true to the vision of our founders.
