We, the undersigned, would like to ask the Mason County Board of Education to take action to declare the team name of Point Pleasant JR/SR High School as the Big Blacks. PPHS has been "Home of the Big Blacks" for nearly a century and we wish to keep it that way. We would also ask for all signage that includes the name "Black Knights" to be removed from the school unless it is in reference to the Black Knight Marching Band. PPHS needs to have one identity and we believe the majority of Alumni and current students as well as faculty and staff prefer: "PPHS Home of the Big Blacks & The Black Knight Marching Band" Thank You!

Total nonsense. Leave tradition alone. PPHS is the home of the Big Blacks and always will be.

The name represents the mascot and community pride. Changing it is a total joke.

Go Big Blacks! Born and raised a Black Knight but the team name is tradition. Why change it now after all these years?

Tradition matters. dont let these outsiders come in and tell us what our school should be called.
