Though the school has recently removed most representations of the confederate flag and the playing of the song "Dixie" at sporting events, the Rebel mascot, adopted in the wake of desegregation and the Civil Rights Movement, remains despite considerable public sentiment from within and beyond the local community that it should be discontinued.
