A note on Hampton-Dumont-CAL

I hope the superintendent of the district with the high school in Hampton won’t mind me lifting from the school’s November/December 2018 newsletter (PDF) regarding the status of naming things in light of CAL sending its junior and senior high students there. The superintendent says the Hampton-Dumont and CAL districts will keep their own identities because rebranding costs money.

So, for example, when we refer to the high school, it will be called Hampton-Dumont High School. For our activities like sports, music, drama, and FFA, we will be called Hampton-Dumont-CAL which recognizes students from both districts. We have seen many versions such as HD/CAL or Hampton-Dumont/CAL but to clarify, we are officially Hampton-Dumont-CAL.

This photo of a student committing to play softball at Grand View shows the existing Hampton-Dumont name and mascot (Bulldogs) in the gym and on a banner.
