what is osd mascot

The OSD mascot refers to the mascot of the Oklahoma School for the Deaf (OSD), which is a state school in Salem, Oregon, United States, serving deaf and hard of hearing students from kindergarten through high school, and up to 18 years of age. In July 2021, OSD chose the Bison to replace the Indians as the official school mascot. The reveal of the new mascot logo was held at OSDs Betty S. Fine Museum on the Sulphur campus in September 2021. The Bison mascot has since been used to promote deaf awareness, such as in September 2022 when it was named spokesperson for Deaf Awareness Week.
