School Mascot: Driffin
What is a Driffin? Many years ago, New City School students cast votes for a school mascot. The vote ended in a tie between a dragon and a griffin. The students and teachers decided that the best way to solve the tie was to find a way to combine the two creatures...which is why our friendly castle’s mascot is a DRIFFIN!
