Ponaganset's mascot is the Chieftain. This has come under fire in recent decades as mascots with Native American imagery and symbolism has been reviewed. The regional school district is now deciding whether to keep a symbol many consider to be cultural appropriation, or to change it to something more appropriate as the local tribe, the Nipmuc, have been asking for. Capital improvement plan 
In the late 2000s, the school underwent a major multi-phase renovation in which the former middle school was re-located to a new building and the existing high school took over the old middle school structure. An indoor glass walkway was put in to attach the high school with the old middle school. The renovations were completed at the end of 2009.
