School Spirit

The Longhorn
The Longhorn is a descendant of cattle which were brought by the Spaniards on their exploratory journeys to this continent, particularly to the regions of North America now known as Texas and Mexico. A number of these cattle escaped from the Spanish conquistadors and became wild inhabitants of this region. They multiplied and evolved into the Texas Longhorn. The Longhorn readily adapted itself to the conditions in its now native locale, South Texas. Through the years, the Longhorn proved its qualities of adaptability, strength, courage, as well as an indomitable spirit. It was chosen as the mascot and symbol of George West High School because of these qualities. To these qualities, each student is encouraged to add leadership and pride in achievement.
