In February, 2022, the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation revoked the use of the 'Chiefs' mascot for Moses Lake High School in addition to the 'Braves' at Columbia Middle School (formerly Chief Moses Middle School) and the 'Warriors' at Frontier Middle School in Moses Lake. Moses Lake High School began the rebranding process in 2022. With student, staff, and community involvement, the 'Mavericks' was selected as the new mascot.
