2009 Rising Star Logo

In 2009, the Maize School District began to use the Rising Star logo marks as its main branding. In Spring 2024, the new branding listed above was added as alternate, refined, and more modern branding to support the district’s innovations and sophisticated image. This may be used, especially in instances where it already is in place, but the 2024 alternate additions are preferred in all uses. These versions will not be available for public use. Any requests should be directed to the Communications Department.
