Our New Mascot
HSU spirit has a new face, and his name is Hoss. The name Hoss comes from Eric “Hoss” Cartwright, a character in the television series “Bonanza,” who was played by former HSU student and football player, Dan Blocker. Hoss was paid for by generous donations from our HSU alumni and family.

"HSU was not only there for my educational growth, but also for my spiritual growth. One of the most remarkable things that I remember hearing in one of my biology classes was that you could be a scientist and you could be a Christian at the same time."
