Calaveras "Redhawks": It pays honor both to our mascot past and to the Native Americans in our region. The Redhawk is a spirit animal for the Miwuks. The Redhawk is a fierce, raptor like bird that exemplifies the CHS fighting spirit, CHS pride and dignity. By retaining the word "RED" as part of our mascot's name, school spirit...as in "Go Big Reds"...remains intact.
