Capital One has chosen its 12 Mascot Challenge finalists and SBISD’s own Stratford High Spartan, Spartacus, has been chosen. Senior Erin Jackson is this year’s mascot, and made the final cut. Finalists are chosen based on their amount of spirt and will compete for a grand prize of $5,000 for their school athletic program.
Erin competed in a citywide pep rally at The Galleria on Saturday, Sept. 29. You can vote for her for two weeks online at www.capitalonemascotchallenge.com , and then tune in for the announcement of the winner during the half time at the University of Houston-Rice University football game on Saturday, Oct. 13.
