Wednesday, Board member Juan Leon said the 1960 yearbook shows that the district has a long history of using the Warriors name and it should be kept. “I believe the word warrior describes the fighting spirit of a proud community,” he said. Board vice president Jeannette Santos said that her granddaughter is in the high school and is proud of the Warrior name. “I will fight who I have to fight to keep the name Warrior,” Santos said. She also said the state should cover costs if the district is forced to change its name. Cherese Hinckson-Foster, a 1997 graduate and now a Coram resident, said that she didn’t mind a name change but if the district does try to keep the Warriors name “we need to get back to when we were Warriors and how we really felt,” adding that there was a stronger sense of community when she was a student. At least 13 Long Island districts will be affected by the ban. Districts must agree, by resolution, to change their name and mascot, and to eradicate any references by the end of this school year. Districts will have until the end of the 2024-25 school year to implement the changes or risk loss of state aid and the removal of school officers. David Frank, assistant commissioner with the state Education Department, said on April 21 that the ban would extend to names such as “Warriors,” “Braves” and "Thunderbirds" if the school ever associated the name with indigenous imagery. "If any team, mascots, logos or names have any connection to indigenous nations or peoples, either at the present time or in the past, they need to change their team name," he said. Comsewogue, Wantagh and Wyandanch also use the "Warriors" team name. Wantagh school officials posted on the district website that it had requested to keep the name but was denied. “Although the district would like to keep the Warrior name and rebrand it, NYSED has stated that the district is not permitted to do so,” read a note to the community dated June 15. The district said it will consider public input in rebranding its team name and logos including surveying the school community. “A committee will be formed and will be largely student driven to develop concepts for a new logo. These ideas for the logo will then be shared with the Board of Education and a decision will ultimately be made on which concept to pursue. The district will then consult with professional graphic artists to develop the new imagery,” read the note. Wantagh school officials estimated it would cost more than $652,000 to replace all imagery and logos on district property. By Joie Tyrrell
