My school, Harvard-Westlake, used to be two separate schools: Harvard School and Westlake School. Before they merged ten years ago, Harvard's mascot was the Saracen. When the two merged, the new mascot became the Wolverine. No one is particularly fond of the wolverine, so when we were choosing a name this year (it's our rookie year), we went back a decade and named ourselves The Saracens instead. Saracens are Muslim crusaders.
