Meet Monty the Mountain Lion – A Fierce New Chapter at MWCC
At Mount Wachusett Community College, strength runs deep—and in June 2025, it has a new face: Monty the Mountain Lion, a Custom Mascot with a powerful presence and an even bigger heart. As our June Mascot of the Month, Monty brings the perfect balance of courage, compassion, and community spirit to the MWCC campus.
From Wild Peaks to Campus Pride
Monty’s story began high in the rugged peaks of Mount Wachusett, where independence and resilience were survival skills. But even the boldest mountain lion learns that real leadership isn’t about going it alone—it’s about lifting others up. That revelation changed Monty’s path forever.
Now, as MWCC’s new Custom Mascot, Monty leads with pride, purpose, and a mission to bring students together. Whether he’s cheering on the Mountaineers, exploring hidden trails on campus, or dropping in for a community potluck (with trail mix in paw), Monty’s message is loud and clear: strength is shared.
A New Era Begins
Monty takes the baton from longtime MWCC mascot Marty, who recently retired to the warm sunshine of Florida. While Marty’s legacy lives on, Monty is carving out a future filled with fresh energy, fearless school spirit, and a bold vision for what’s ahead.
He’s not just a presence at games—Monty is a symbol of growth, connection, and perseverance. He encourages every student to embrace their own strength while supporting others along the way.
Behind the Mascot Magic
At Street Characters Inc., we were honored to bring Monty to life with a fully custom-designed mascot suit built to match MWCC’s bold identity. With sharp mountain green and midnight blue finishes, Monty’s look is as iconic as his backstory.
And it doesn’t stop there. We’re committed to keeping Monty game-day ready with Mascot Cleaning and Mascot Repairs services that ensure every performance is a standout. Whether it’s restoring shine after a packed pep rally or giving the suit a refresh mid-season, we’ve got Monty covered—literally.
