High school mascot and school colors

The high school's mascot is a lion. Home to the Royal Comets, the school colors are green, gold and black. Before the Sperry building became the district's only high school, Roth, one of the district's two current middle schools, was also a high school. During that time, the two high schools represented themselves as the Sperry Comets (green and gold) and the Roth Royals (black and gold). With the change to a single high school came the merger of the two nicknames and the 3 color scheme.

Performance

In June 2007, the American Music Conference recognized the district as being among the 2007 "Best 100 Communities for Music Education".
