Due to a letter to the superintendent in June from the parent of a sophomore at PTHS urging for a name change, the topic has become a hot potato. A committee has now been formed to study various aspects of this issue and take testimonies in monthly meetings. Committee members are Chris Jones Crubaugh, a PTHS alumnus, retired teacher and principal; Vic Dirksen, a former hospital administrator; Gideon Cauffman, a Sequim graduate and the cultural resources specialist for the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe; Yvonne Starkey, who works for Port Townsend Paper; Walter McQuillen, oldest son of Mary McQuillen, brother of Terri McQuillen and a hereditary Makah chief; David Backman, a Port Townsend alumnus and current Redskin Booster Club member; and Frank Garred, a former editor and publisher of the Leader. The committee will give a summary of their findings to the board in June. The board will make the final decision. It is not known exactly when the name "Redskins" started being used. Up through the 1926 yearbook, the teams were referred to as just "Townsend". The yearbooks in the school library skip from 1926 to 1944. In the 1944 yearbook, "Redskins" was appearing in print. Redskin head is from the 1949 WaWa

Alumni Wall The Alumni Wall on the third floor of the main building at PTHS is now updated. The digital age became a curse when students no longer turned in a real photo because they were being submitted digitally for the yearbook. The school had no way to print out a quality photo and there was not a place around that was affordable for printing out wallet sized photos. Jim Guthrie, Carpentry teacher, replacing the glass in the framing after setting the class of 2012 into place. 1983 Main hall on the 2nd floor. The photos were moved up to the 3rd floor in the next remodel. For her senior project, Chunpeng Stankus, PTHS Class of 2011, asked to complete the missing composites and bring the alumni wall up to date. Principal's Secretary, Jan Boutilier, printed out each year's graduates' names on stickers and found that Costco had bargain pricing on prints so organized and sent in the digital images to have prints made. Chunpeng artistically designed each composite, from 2003 through to 2012. Jim Guthrie, PTHS Carpentry teacher, made the framing and mounted the composites this fall. There is room for hanging class composites through the class of 2024.
