[edit] Miscellaneous Information and Trivia

During the late 1990's the school mascot was the "Gorlock". The white furry creature was the winning entry in a contest to decide who or what would represent the school despite widespread allegation that the depiction of the creature in the winning drawing was simply a direct copy of some other artists creation. The Gorlock resembled neither a gorilla nor any of the Morlocks. Several Gates Intermediate alumni (currently attending SHS) are in pre-production of a film chronicling the Gorlock and its hazy history, to be released in first quarter 2007on Google Video.
