Pine Bush ponders a new mascot Posted Wednesday, October 22, 2025 Students at Pine Bush High School have proposed changing the school’s longtime “Bushmen” mascot, prompting discussion about the symbol’s future. The idea was presented by student representatives at a recent Board of Education meeting, where district leaders said they value students’ voices and welcome “thoughtful dialogue” on the topic. Officials emphasized that the proposal is in its early stages and that any decision will involve input from the wider school community. Some residents on social media suggested adopting an extraterrestrial theme, reflecting Pine Bush’s growing association with UFO culture and its annual UFO Fair. Others expressed nostalgia for the traditional mascot, saying “we will always be Bushmen,” while acknowledging that change can be positive. Updates on the proposal will be shared through the district’s website and social media channels. Source: https://www.timeshudsonvalley.com/stories/pine-bush-ponders-a-new-mascot,196809
