Team Rocky

2025 marks 10 years of Team Rocky, our Montclair State University mascot team, and we would love your support to continue to create campus traditions and opportunities for students to feel as if they belong. The interactions we have with our students, faculty, staff and families make a huge impact, and to this day, all Team Rocky members volunteer their time to make a difference in our community. We've grown and expanded over the years thanks to the dedication of our advisors and members; the passion they have for expanding school pride and overall inclusivity is loud and clear.
