Our Mascot

El Centro College opened its doors in downtown Dallas on Sept. 19, 1966. Two months later, the El Centro College Student Council – representing a total of 4,047 students – voted on the college's colors and mascot.

Powder blue and black and the roadrunner, Chaparral, won.

Since then the Chaparral has been the face of athletics and student life at El Centro College. If you see him on the court, be sure to offer a big high five! To learn more about the history of the Dallas County Community Colleges, visit the historic timeline.
