The new hornet mascot with the M and T incorporated into the look.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — McCann Technical School has made some dramatic changes to its gym over the past few months.

A giant hornet peeks over the bleachers and a "jumbotron" calls out stats and cheers.

Superintendent James Brosnan took the School Committee to check out the new look after Thursday's meeting.

The colors are black and green and the school's hornet mascot now incorporates a stylized M and T for McCann Tech. The new wall padding is black with the hornet logo and "Welcome to the Hive" on it and the wall behind the bleachers is painted in the new colors.

The large screen is directly across from the bleachers and the demonstration for the committee had images and information of each member of the boys' basketball team (practicing that night) along with cheers "to get the crowd going," said Brosnan.

The superintendent said the school didn't have a place where it could do presentations or other schoolwide audiovisual gatherings because it didn't have an auditorium.

"This gives us a place to come together," he said.

The new decor also includes the front entrance, where the wall has been painted McCann green with "Welcome to the Hive" signage.

The equipment and signage was paid for through a combination of grants and budget expenditures.
