November 2022

Last month, we announced our student showcase, Innovation Expo on April 8, 2023. This month, we are excited to share the details for our Logo and Mascot Design Competition!

The Competition

Students of all ages across the district are invited to design a logo and mascot that embodies the spirit of innovation in the Santa Clara Unified School District community.

The designs can be created digitally or on paper — as a team or as an individual. Winners will be selected by the Innovation Expo Committee after the competition closes on December 9, and the designs will be used on Innovation Expo collateral moving forward.
