ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- East High School will soon feature a new school mascot. The former Orientals will be known as the Eagles starting in September. 

In a 7-0 vote Thursday night the Board of Education decided to adopt the new school representative.

School leaders said they're taking advantage of a new mascot, replacing what they said is an outdated name from the early 1900s.

A formal unveiling is expected to be announced in the future.
