In 1947, the Paxton High School student selected a “Mustangs” mascot. The student body arrived at this after narrowing the field of prospective names from 35 down to 5. These names included – Pirates, Panthers, Tigers and the Vikings. Now when we speak of the “Mustangs” you know it means the Paxton High School.   The Jr High mascot was the Pintos and the Clara Peterson mascot was the Colts.  In1 1990, Paxton consolidated with Buckley-Loda (Rockets) and later Roberts.   The student body voted in the new mascot...the Panther.
