school’s mascot. The colors of the team, however, were green and white. The students decided that green and white did not properly represent our school. The student body suggested that black and gold better represented the achievement and sophistication of the district. The home of the Hawks and love for black
and gold have remained over the years. That is not to say the traditions, logos, and colors have not changed over time. In 2009, the Iowa Hawkeyes noticed similarities between their logo and our past logo. This inspired the first change in the presentation of the Hawks. Just three years ago, Pleasant Grove worked with Varsity Brands to update to our current Hawk logo and enhanced school colors. Vegas gold can now be seen on the newest letterman jackets and trim of graduation gowns. While the logo and colors of Pleasant Grove have undergone change, the success and ideals of our district triumph over other identifying factors. Our high levels of learning inside and outside of the classroom have created our legacy through local and state accomplishments. The history of Pleasant Grove’s school spirit creates a sense of pride in me; I am always excited to cheer for my Hawks and represent black and gold!
