== History ==
Marquette's first high school was constructed in 1859 on property given to the city by Morgan Hewitt. Located on the corner of Pine and Ridge Streets, the community initially opposed the project because it was "on the edge of the wilderness." Nevertheless, the red brick building with separate entrances for boys and girls was used until 1875, when it was torn down and replaced with a larger brownstone building in 1878.

==Nickname Controversy and Change==

The exact origin of the "Redmen" nickname is unknown, with some saying it is from the 1910s and some saying the 1920s. Many sources attribute the origin of the school's red color to the red sweaters worn by athletic participants in the 1920s. These sweaters were inspired by the [[alma mater]] of the superintendent at the time, [[Harvard University|Harvard]], and its crimson-red color. The [[Tribal chief|chieftain]] mascot came around the 1930s or 1940s as an homage to Indian strength.<ref name="upmatters.com">{{Cite web |date=2023-07-19 |title=Marquette to no longer use "Redmen" nickname |url=https://www.upmatters.com/news/marquette-no-longer-will-use-redmen-nickname/ |access-date=2024-01-10 |website=WJMN - UPMatters.com |language=en-US}}</ref>

There has been controversy about the name for many years. However, it started ramping up in the 1990s when Native American groups argued that the nickname was offensive and perpetuated negative stereotypes. They also pointed out that the use of Native American mascots and logos is a form of [[cultural appropriation]]. Many disagreed with these claims, though, saying it was a source of pride for them and their school.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tribal leader opposes school nickname |url=https://www.dailypress.net/news/local-news/2022/12/tribal-leader-opposes-school-nickname/ |access-date=2024-01-10 |website=TheDailyPress |language=en-US}}</ref>

In 1998, the [[Marquette Area Public Schools|Marquette Area Public School's]] board retired the Indian Chief logo but kept the Redmen nickname.<ref>{{Cite web |title=ESPN.com - OTL: What's in a name? |url=http://www.espn.com/otl/americans/mascots.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230513065749/http://www.espn.com/otl/americans/mascots.html |archive-date=2023-05-13 |access-date=2024-01-10 |website=www.espn.com}}</ref> In 2023, the school board decided to retire the nickname after a 4–3 vote, completely dissolving the Redmen nickname from the school and all athletic events.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Tudor |first=Jerry |date=2023-07-17 |title=MAPS board votes to remove Redmen, Redette nicknames |url=https://www.uppermichiganssource.com/2023/07/17/live-maps-board-takes-up-redmen-redette-nicknames/ |access-date=2024-01-10 |website=www.uppermichiganssource.com |language=en}}</ref> The school then called for the community to vote on possible names for the school.

History

[edit]

Marquette's first high school was constructed in 1859 on property given to the city by Morgan Hewitt. Located on the corner of Pine and Ridge Streets, the community initially opposed the project because it was "on the edge of the wilderness." Nevertheless, the red brick building with separate entrances for boys and girls was used until 1875, when it was torn down and replaced with a larger brownstone building in 1878.

After fire claimed the brownstone in February 1900, the Howard High School (named after John M. Longyear's son) was constructed in 1902 along with an elementary school and a manual training building. However, the school had been built to accommodate 200 students, but reached an enrollment of nearly 400 by 1915, so the community began a search for a new site.

Harriet K. Adams, widow of pioneer Sidney Adams, donated land on the corner of Front and Hewitt streets for a new high school, and gave $2,500 for gymnasium equipment, but World War I postponed those plans until 1923.

In 1925, voters approved a bond issue of $475,000 to build the new high school on the 8 lots on Front Street between Ohio Street and Hewitt Avenue (as well as expand the Fisher School).[citation needed] Louis Kaufman donated $26,000 to the school board to replace the funds it had spent on land acquisition, so that more money could be spent on construction. In appreciation, the board voted unanimously to name the school after Kaufman's mother, Juliet Graveraet; they later named the auditorium after Kaufman himself.[2][citation needed]

Graveraet High School was replaced in 1964 by the present structure at Fair and Lincoln avenues.[citation needed]

In 2023, Marquette Area High School dropped the schools 'Redmen' nickname.[3] In 2024, the school adopted the 'Sentinels' nickname.[4]

Nickname Controversy and Change

[edit]

The exact origin of the "Redmen" nickname is unknown, with some saying it is from the 1910s and some saying the 1920s. Many sources attribute the origin of the school's red color to the red sweaters worn by athletic participants in the 1920s. These sweaters were inspired by the alma mater of the superintendent at the time, Harvard, and its crimson-red color. The chieftain mascot came around the 1930s or 1940s as an homage to Indian strength.[11]

They also pointed out that the use of Native American mascots and logos is a form of cultural appropriation. Many disagreed with these claims, though, saying it was a source of pride for them and their school.[12]

In 1998, the Marquette Area Public School's board retired the Indian Chief logo but kept the Redmen nickname.[13] In 2023, the school board decided to retire the nickname after a 4–3 vote, completely dissolving the Redmen nickname from the school and all athletic events.[14] The school then called for the community to vote on possible names for the school. Names were then slowly narrowed down, and on January 22, 2024, the name "Sentinels" was chosen to replace Redmen.[11][15][16]
