  • Mascot
  • The South Kitsap School Mascot is Roscoe F. Wolf, a cartoonish mascot whose true identity is intended to be kept a secret from the rest of the school. His appearance has changed throughout the past few years, most recently to include a very large butt. He is present at most football and basketball games.
  • Essentially, the mascot of South are the wolves, but Roscoe acts as the leader of the pack. The wolf is a pack oriented animal that represents South Kitsap's uniqueness in sticking together. "The strength of the wolf is in the pack and the strength of the pack is in the wolf."
  • There is also Grandfather Wolf, a several decade old stuffed wolf on a wheeled cart. Despite his tail that has a habit of falling off and overall general tattered appearance, he makes appearances at almost every pep rally, and students are asked to stand as he enters the room.
