Following the Oregon Board of Education's 2012 ban of Native American school mascots (effective July 1, 2017), the Molalla River School District received approval from the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde to continue use of the Indians mascot.

Under the terms of their 2017 agreement, the school's logo was changed to a bear and coyote among mountain trees.

The agreement also requires that the district adopt the Grand Ronde Tribe's fourth- and eighth- grade history curricula and offer a Native Club for high school students.

Fall sports include football, girls and boys soccer, cross country, and volleyball.

[11] In the spring the sports are girls and boys tennis, golf, track and field, baseball, and softball.
