Elizabethwown High School lobby with bear mascotFor many years the bear has been the mascot of our school. The bear, we believe, is a fitting symbol for our athletic teams and high school, since the bear is well known to be a determined and intelligent fighter. For this reason we have chosen the bear to be our school's mascot. Elizabethtown 1947 yearbook.

The bear in the lobby was donated by Barry Shaw.

3. Hershey Bears

There appears to be no direct connection of the EAHS bear with the Hershey Bears minor league hockey team

It appears that the name Hershey "bears" started when the name Hershey "bars" was denied due to it being considered just advertising.

The German word "Bär""bear".
