However, the first black student, son of an active duty military officer, had enrolled in 1965 and attended Escambia without any incident whatsoever for approximately one year.

He made friends quickly, was well-received, and attended until his father received orders and transferred.

Several years later, in the fall of 1972, black students rioted at a home football game for their team, whose mascot was a "Rebel," modeled in appearance after the Colonel Reb of the University of Mississippi.

[8] Continuing until the end of the 1972–73 academic year, blacks and other students protested the mascot, school song and use of the Confederate Flag, which was flown at school events and games, on the grounds that the imagery the items brought up were insensitive to black people.

The students who preferred "Rebels" failed to secure a supermajority needed to win the ballot, by approximately 30 votes.

In the spring of 1977, after hearing the courts final decision that "Rebels" was not to be reinstated the students chose "Gators" as the permanent nickname.

The Escambia High School Student Body president, John Davis, successfully argued against the petition before the board.
