Keep Maryville High School Mascot as The Red Rebels.

The Issue

There is no reason to change the mascot for Maryville High School. We have been the Red Rebels ever since the beginning. Everyone who has gone walked the halls of Maryville can tell you that they were proud to be a Maryville Rebel. Besides that the cost of changing the schools mascot would be astronomical. You would have to change every single sports teams uniforms (not only for the High School but also the Jr. High School), then you would have to come up with and get approved some lame school name that everyone would gave hate towards, as well as change everything around the school that says, “Rebels” and/or shows Rebels. Please have some sense and keep the mascot that we are meant to have. Rebels For Life.
