The indoor and outdoor track team has won many state championships, and is notable for winning most events.[citation needed]
[edit] School name and mascot
Bonny Eagle and the surrounding area is said to have achieved its unusual name when a Scotsman (as the area formerly had high concentration of Scottish people), standing on a bridge over the Saco River, looked up and saw an eagle. Supposedly, the Scotsman remarked "What a bonny eagle," bonny being a synonym for beautiful. Thus, the school's mascot is the Scotsman.[citation needed]
[edit] Notable alumni
- Jeff Neal — the drummer for the band Boston
- Kevin Eastman — the creator of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.[citation needed]
- Mike Brown — WEC Featherweight Champion
