The school mascot is the 76er, represented as Sammy the Sixer, which in part represents the founding year of 1976. The 76er is usually interpreted as a patriot of a founding father; the mascot is usually depicted as a cartoonish George Washington caricature, although the mascot is officially named Sammy the Sixer.
