Apponequet's mascot is the Lakers. The word 'Apponequet' refers to the native tribe that resided within the local area surrounding the school. Previously, the image used as the Laker mascot consisted of a Red Indian chief and spear. These images were featured on the sports uniforms and clothing relating to the Lakers athletics. However, this was replaced in recent times due to controversy over Native American mascots. Currently the Lakers have adopted the University of Arizona 'A' as their emblem on uniforms and clothing.
