Brevard Public Schools Get Set for High-Energy Mascot Olympics at Viera High School January 10

School Spirit Meets Family Fun at Brevard Mascot Olympics

BREVARD COUNTY • VIERA, FLORIDA — Brevard Public Schools is inviting students, families, and the wider community to an evening of spirited competition and family fun this Saturday, January 10, as mascots from across the district meet for the Brevard Public Schools Mascot Olympics on the Viera High School track.

The two-hour event, running from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., promises laughter, memorable moments, and plenty of school pride under the lights.

The Mascot Olympics will bring together costumed representatives from schools across Brevard County to compete in a series of friendly, fitness-oriented challenges designed to entertain and inspire.

While official event details are focused on the fun and showmanship of mascot competitions — from races to obstacle-style games — organizers say the underlying goal is to foster community connections and promote active lifestyles in a safe, family-friendly environment.

“This event is about more than just fun,” said BPS spokespersons. “It’s about celebrating the unique school identities that make our district so dynamic, while also encouraging families and students to prioritize wellness and engagement.”

The event is part of an ongoing winter track access initiative supported by Health First, a regional health system that has partnered with BPS to enhance community fitness opportunities this season.

Through Health First’s support, tracks at Viera High and Satellite High have been open to the public on select evenings, with stadium lights turned on from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. — including during the Mascot Olympics — creating a welcoming, safe space for residents to walk, run, or participate in events like this one. Health First’s involvement underscores a broader commitment to preventive health and community wellbeing, linking active living with school-based outreach and partnerships.

The event takes place at the Viera High School Track, located at 6103 Stadium Parkway in Viera, Florida. Viera High — home of the Hawks — is a well-established public high school serving grades 9–12 and known for its strong academic and extracurricular culture.

Family-Friendly and Media Welcome

Organizers emphasize that the Mascot Olympics is free and family-friendly, designed for all ages to enjoy a fun evening with great photo opportunities and spirited competition. Local media and photographers are invited to capture the action, interview participants, and highlight the school pride that defines so many Brevard communities.

The Mascot Olympics builds on the district’s efforts to support health and wellness through accessible activities and partnerships. By integrating community access to school facilities with engaging events, BPS aims to strengthen neighborhood ties and encourage active lifestyles year-round.

For more information or questions about the event, residents can contact the BPS Communications Office, and organizers say they “would love to see everyone there!”
