The Adair-Casey and Guthrie Center School Boards met jointly Thursday night at Adair-Casey High School.

Upon a recommendation of a student committee representing both districts, both School Boards unanimously approved the name, mascot, colors and school song of a shared school district which will be created on July 1st.

The school name will be AC/GC, the mascot is Chargers, the colors are black and gold and the school song is “Mighty Oregon”, the fight song of the University of Oregon Ducks. District music teachers will modify the lyrics of the fight song to fit the AC/GC Chargers.

A group of twelve students in attendance told the Boards how excited they were to make friends with and play sports with their new classmates, beginning next school year.
