Originally, our Bulldog Mascot was
created by Jack Denton of Chattanooga. "Stuart" was
funded by a grant received by Aloha Buffington, CCS Art
Specialist, from the Tennessee Arts Commission and the Stuart
PTO. Mr. Denton has created many sculptures, including one at the
Tennessee Riverpark in 2001. He was also the first American
sculptor to have a piece installed in Russia in 1998. He has been
