Athletics
The high school received national attention in 2002 over its controversial nickname, the Satans.[3] Several parents refused to send their children to the school due to this nickname. In 2003, a poll was conducted of the school's students to pick a new, less controversial nickname. The winning name was the Blaze but the school board, thinking it was a drug reference, rejected it and chose the Firebirds.

gollark: I had a Wileyfox Swift with that (dead because of the USB port thing), but they're no longer sold and I don't think replacement parts exist either.
