[edit] Former school mascots
In the early 1930's, Slatingon High School was regarded as the Blue and White Warriors. From 1939 to 1942, Slatington was regarded as the Blue and White Raiders. From 1942 to 1968, Slatington was regarded as the Slatington Slaters. In 1968, Slatington changed the mascot to the Bulldogs due to confusion with Bangor Area High School. In 1982, Slatington School District became Northern Lehigh School District.
