Origins of the IHS mascot, rivalry and colors?

Do you know we are approaching the 100th Independence High School graduating Class – the Class of 2025!

The Alumni Association has recently been asked about the origins of the “Blue Devil”, the rivalry with Cuyahoga Heights and the origins of our Blue and Gold colors. We don’t have those answers! Can you help? Do you have the answers or suggestions as to the origins?

Pictures of earlier mascots with dates are certainly welcome. Please email images or alternately replies may be emailed here: websiteindyboosters@indyboosters.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
