MASCA is proud to introduce you to Ollie
Ollie is MASCA's official mascot. They made their debut at the 2025 Spring Conference in Framingham. Ollie was chosen from over 30 submissions by members as we were searching for a mascot. Jess Nutter (King Philip Regional) and Mike Penney (Abby Kelley Foster Charter Public School) both submitted similar designs which were ultimately chosen as our official mascot. Ollie is the first known mascot of all of the state and territory school counselor associations across the country.
Ollie's purpose is to spread joy and love and make people feel welcomed and special at selected MASCA events. You never know where Ollie will show up. You will also see Ollie in some of our publications and resources as well as having their own social media presence.
We hope that you enjoy Ollie and that they bring some joy and happiness to your work. As we know, being a school counselor is no easy job.
Be on the look out for Ollie in person and online.
