Controversy

In 2020, people reached out to the Dallas School Board and called on them to change the school's mascot in response to the George Floyd protests. They expressed concern that the Dragon mascot had a possible connection to the Ku Klux Klan, stating that leaders of the KKK are called "Grand Dragons." The name has been kept however, as there is no certain evidence or history suggesting that the Dallas Mascot has any relation to the KKK. [7]
