The school mascot is the Husky(dog) and the colors are royal blue and white.[7] The mascot often gets confused with a Siberian Husky, but that just simply isn't true and is a touchy subject for many alumni of the school.
The boys(and girls) football team has a long-standing rivalry with the adjacent town of Ferndale, California. The winner of the annual game takes home a big milk can labeled with the years and scores of the winning and losing teams.[8]
