The winning flag was designed by Miguel Miranda of Magnolia West High School, who received a check for $250 from the city. His design was chosen from 26 entries.
"The flag of Magnolia has a meaning and ties to the values of our community and the heraldry of our history," said Paul Mendes, Magnolia's city administrator, at the Council meeting.
Mendes wrote an accompanying legend for the flag that explains its meaning. The colors—maroon and green—represent the base color of the community and schools and Magnolia's history in the lumber industry.
