Facemask from COVID-19 Pandemic – 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic upended global society, and McDonogh School was certainly not spared of the significant disruption to daily life. Because of how deadly the virus was, McDonogh was forced to use virtual teaching methods at the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020 and parts of the following school year. When students did return to campus, all members of the community were required to wear a face mask, much like this one, to protect themselves and their peers from contagion. The McDonogh Eagle’s design on this face mask reflects the school’s shift to a new spirit mark in 2018, which is still the dominant image today.
