McCleskey Middle School Presents Owl to KSU
This morning McCleskey faculty and students donated a Great Horned Owl to Kennesaw State University, whose athletic teams are known as the Owls.
In 1988, an unlucky Great Horned Owl died when it flew into a McCleskey Middle School campus power line. A science teacher found the bird, had it mounted and it remained on display in a Plexiglas case in the school’s media center for the next 23 years.
In a ceremony in the media center this morning, members of McCleskey’s orchestra performed the owl-inspired “Hedwig’s Theme” from the “Harry Potter” movies as McCleskey Principal Claire Lyons presented the Owl to Kennesaw State University President Daniel S. Papp.
