What Alaska high school animal mascots are out there?
Alaska high school sports are governed by the Alaska School Activities Association, which sanctions championships in baseball, basketball, bowling, cheer, cross country, esports, flag football, football, gymnastics, hockey, shooting, skiing, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, volleyball and wrestling.
As with all of our animal mascot research across the country, the main resource used was Mascot DB, and we apologize if we left your school out or misspelled it.
Most Alaska high school animal mascots reflect the variety of wild animals on land and sea, resulting in some of the most unusual team nicknames in the nation.
