Our School LogoThe Dartmouth Indian
Prior to the early 1970's, Dartmouth High School utilized several iterations of a Dartmouth Indian logo on athletic team uniforms. Following the undefeated 1973 football season, Mr. Clyde Andrews, member of the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah), DHS Class '74 and Dartmouth Hall of Famer, redesigned the Indian image to more accurately reflect and honor the Eastern Woodlands Indians of the region now known as Dartmouth. An iteration of the image designed by Andrews remains in use today and continues to pay homage to the Wampanoag. The symbol is an icon of respect, honor and strength--key characteristics exemplified by Dartmouth students in competition, whether on the athletic fields or in the concert halls. The Dartmouth Indian symbol is a key tenet of our Dartmouth Pride.
