New rendering of Central Minuteman emblematic of positive change at St. Paul high school

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:49:27 GMT

Cherise Ayers made it clear that this is not an official change. As the principal at Central High School in St. Paul, she knows that word scares people. Even for something seemingly as harmless as the Central Minuteman mascot.“That’s not what’s happening here,” Ayers said. “It’s not like the old mascot Marshall is being replaced by the new mascot Malcolm. We’re not replacing anything. This is just something that we’re now including it as a part of the story.”That something is a new rendering of the Central Minuteman. Though the school isn’t getting rid of the longstanding Marshall — depicted as a white man carrying a musket like the minutemen in the Revolutionary War — it plans to use the modern Malcolm in certain spaces as a way to better represent the student population.Dom Haeussermann, 16, shows a T-shirt bearing the new Central High School mascot design at Central High School in St. Paul on Wednesday, June 14, 2023.
