Reaching this level of support has been a long and exhausting process for us all. It proves that the history of our school matters to this community even when those in power try to ignore us.

Keep the name, mascot and the colors! The physical building may wear out and need change, but symbols are meant to last forever! I'm a 1952 alum of MJHS.
I think they should keep the name etc and suggest that they have a display tell about Pops Morgan and his vision for the community when they originally built the school so people will understand the history and why the community insisted it be kept for future generations. "Go Tigers"
My husband and I both went to Morgan Jr High and graduated from EHS. We are proud of our heritage and wish the name, colors and mascot would stay the same. So many things in life have changed and it is comforting to know some things stay the same.
I loved being at Morgan. I learned so much from that school. TRS80 computers from Mr. Wahle to playing the clarinet from Ms. Makris. My mom worked there to my daughter also went there. Its part of this community.
Doesn't seem really necessary. My mother went there before me, and the think the history of families counts for a lot. I can see no reason for the changes. As tigers are becoming more and more endangered, it would seem to be a good mascot.
My father, Reno Randall, spent his life preserving the uniqueness of historical Ellensburg. Why now, start changing the historical aspects of Morgan Junior High.?
Keep it Morgan middle school

Changing the name would disengage us former Morgan students from caring about the school. And we are the parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles of the current student body.
