CANON-MCMILLAN SCHOOL DISTRICT
Looks to Uphold History and Boost School Pride with Logo and Mascot Redesign anon-Mac CANON-MAC SCHOOL DISTRICT NEWS
Canon-McMillan School District is excited to promote a refresh of their mascot and logo . “ Decade after decade , Canon-McMillan ’ s blue and gold CM and Fighting “ Big Mac ” Highlander have proudly represented a tenacious , hard-working and close-knit community ,” stated Superintendent Michael Daniels . “ As we move into the future , Canon-McMillan School District will continue its commitment to excellence with a bold , refreshed brand that reflects our growth , vision and refusal to be mediocre .”
Canonsburg , Cecil Township and North Strabane Township merging in 1954 is how the school district came to be Canon-McMillan School District . The district continues to grow , which has prompted the recently built Muse Elementary School , the renovation and expansion of our Canon-McMillan Senior High School , the renovation of the Allegheny Health Network Field at the Canon-McMillan Memorial Stadium , the soon to be completed new Canon- McMillan Middle School and , our next project , a new Wylandville Elementary School . As the School District continues to expand and advance toward a bright , strong future , it will strive to ensure its brand reflects that same vision and growth .
The new Fighting Big Mac honors the Big Mac legacy and those who pioneered the Canon-McMillan School District . Rooted in the Scottish and Irish Highlander tradition , the refreshed Big Mac retains its Highlander history but with a noticeable edge and tenacity that reflects the District ’ s growing capabilities , determination and vision for the future .

The district has been transparent with its Branding process from inception . Like every other formal , School Board led committee meeting , the Branding Committee announced each of its meetings by posting public advertisements , conducted its meetings open to the public and made minutes from those meetings available . There were a variety of different staff members present at the meetings from teachers to board members and administration to support staff members . The details of the process can be found in the public minutes on the district ’ s website at cmsd . k12 . pa . us . The concepts pictured are what were presented to the board for voting at the June 29 , 2022 School Board Meeting . The concepts passed with a seven to two vote at this meeting .
Lastly , the Branding Committee has proposed from its first meeting to phase in the new brand through the School District ’ s normally scheduled renewal cycle for facilities , uniforms and other District branded merchandise . Close attention has been given to the fiscal impact of the project and the Branding Committee has never deviated from a low-cost , fiscally responsible vision for the development and gradual implementation of the refreshed brand . The district understands the historical brand will continue to be present and remind the community of the deep legacy as the refreshed brand is phased into the culture , facilities and community . Canon-McMillan has always been - and will continue to be - Big Mac proud .
