[edit] Mascot

St. Aloysius Gonzaga's school mascot is the Gonzaga Bulldogs, a yellow Bulldog dressed in blue and orange that partakes in various academic and athletic activities.

[edit] Uniform

As of the 2006-2007 school year, the uniform has consisted of either a dress shirt, tie and blazer or a Rugby style shirt, made by the tailoring company McCarthy's, as well as khaki pants or kilts (although as of the 2006-2007 school year, the kilt has been discontinued for new students and the dress shirt and tie have been discontinued as of the year 2007-2008). However, St. Aloysius Gonzaga's new house system is a reported improvement towards the school's overall spirit and academic enjoyment. A recent survey of the student body has overwhelmingly shared the opinion that the new uniforms are better.
