Citrus High School Unveils New Mascot: Meet Stormy the Hurricane!

Written by Student writer- Delaney Laurence

There’s a new face stirring up school spirit at Citrus High School and it’s not a student or a teacher. Meet Stormy, the school’s brand-new official mascot, ready to rally the crowd and bring a wave of energy to every game, pep rally, and school events.

Stormy, a spirited and larger-than-life Hurricane, made his debut this semester to an enthusiastic welcome from both students and staff. The arrival of a school mascot has long been anticipated at Citrus High, and Stormy is already making a strong impression.

“The students are really excited,” said Athletic Director Lita Stanton. “He is going to be at as many games as possible with the Citrus Crazies.” The Citrus Crazies, the school’s loud and proud student fan section, are thrilled to have Stormy join their ranks, adding even more energy to the sidelines.

More than just a symbol, Stormy represents the heart of school pride. Whether he’s pumping up the crowd from the sidelines, posing for pictures at halftime, or joining in community events, Stormy embodies what it means to be a Hurricane spirited, unified, and proud.

At Citrus High, school spirit is more than just cheering in the stands; it’s about creating a sense of belonging, celebrating student achievements, and supporting one another both on and off the field. Stormy’s presence is a reminder that every shout, every cheer, and every moment of support makes a difference.

So, the next time you see a black and gold Hurricane waving from the bleachers or dancing through the halls, remember it’s always a great day to be a Hurricane!


International Impacts From IB Global Village
at Lecanto High School

 

Every other Friday at Lecanto High School, dedicated students demonstrate a willingness to participate in various, internationally impactful activities. These humanitarian impacts are made possible through the students’ work at a humanitarian club in Lecanto High School, International Baccalaureate Global Village. IB Global Village is overseen by IB Coordinator Dr. Shidner, and former Lecanto High School teacher Dan Carella. Both of these adults lend their experience, expertise, and supervision to the program, which helps the club thrive in its work.

 

Although IB Global Village is listed as a single club on Club Directories, the program actually encompasses 5 different service projects. These projects are Medshare, Hands on Hunger, Culture Club, Amnesty International, and Ugandan Pearls. Each project has different activities and purposes, but all of them have impacts internationally.
