^ I quite like the new mascot / logo. I guess you could say it's a little on the nose, but it reflects an optimistic spirit that is easy to get behind.

The fact that a city like Saginaw is building a 5-story high school, loaded with great amenities, located downtown / on a riverfront, is frankly pretty incredible / unprecedented, at least in Michigan. Not a bad concession prize for having to lose a cross-town high school rivalry. It seems like a smart strategy on so many levels. Also, I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but it looks a bit like a low-rise commercial office or apartment building construction, and I wonder if the planners had discussions that long-long-term, should a future new school be built, this could be more easily repurposed and converted to a different use.

Other rust belt cities with declining populations should take note.
