Published on December 20, 2024

John A. Logan College is thrilled to announce that “Charger” has been selected as the official name of the College’s new mascot. After unveiling the new mascot in August, the college left it up to the public to decide on the perfect name. After months of voting, the final contenders were “Charger” and “General.”

In November, the college invited current students to vote for one of the two finalists, and the students at John A. Logan College chose “Charger” as the winning name.

“We are so excited that Charger will represent our college spirit and pride,” said JALC President Dr. Kirk Overstreet.  “Our students have spoken, and ‘Charger’ is a name that embodies the energy and enthusiasm that define John A. Logan College.”

The mascot’s image has already been incorporated into the college’s branding and marketing materials, creating excitement among students, staff, and the community. The mascot’s official uniform, which will be used at public events and sporting activities, is expected to be delivered to campus in March.

John A. Logan College looks forward to Charger’s debut, which will further strengthen school spirit, pride, and camaraderie among students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
