This mountain lion has stood proudly on the campus of Altoona Area High School since May, 1972. Heinz Warneke, the sculptor of the Penn State University Nittany Lion, was hired by the AAHS Alumni Association to create a similar piece as a tribute to the long-time mascot of the high school. More than $24,000 was raised by the Alumni Association for the project. Warneke cast the lion in bronze to increase its longevity.
