Boston is home to some of the most iconic professional sports teams and is known for its rowdy fans. Some would say to fulfill the Boston experience, the requirement is to attend a game in TD Garden or eat a Fenway Frank. However, this can be an expensive bucket list item to check — especially as a college student — so many sports teams have set up college student discount programs to make attending these sporting events more budget-friendly.

Pelham Memorial High School has adopted its first logo, replacing the one used by the school district. The new design came after PMHS Principal Mark Berkowitz sat in on a sociology class in which teacher Gregory Kopstein taught a lesson on what makes people pay close attention to a product or idea for an extended period of time—called the stickiness factor. At the time, there were many variations of the Pelham Pelican on different badges for sports teams and clubs, but not a single logo for PMHS.
