    Six high schools in the Salem-Keizer (Oregon) school district, and their mascots (in no particular order):
    North Salem H.S. Vikings
    South Salem H.S. Saxons
    West Salem H.S. Titans
    McNary H.S. Celtics
    McKay H.S. Royal Scots
    Sprague H.S. Olympians

    Whew, I'm glad we have no racially- or culturally-insensitive mascots here! [/sarcasm]
