HARRISONBURG, Va – The new high school in Harrisonburg will be known as the Rocktown Raptors.

The mascot was officially unveiled Tuesday evening following a drumroll by the Harrisonburg School Board during its work session.

Superintendent Dr. Michael Richards explained that while the school board chose the name and the red and black school colors, the kids chose the mascot.

Rocktown High School is slated to open in the fall of 2024.
