The school’s mascot was originally the Warriors.
Students will now vote on the Hawks logo.
The mascot is in compliance with a new state ban on the use of Native American mascots, imagery and names.
A total of 13 Long Island school districts were impacted by the change.
A lawsuit by Wantagh, Massapequa, Wyandanch and Connetquot to keep its names was recently dismissed.
