Origins of the Blue Devil mascot?
Do you know we are approaching the 100th Independence High School graduating class?
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?
We have put together a three question survey on our Alumni website. Use the QR code or this link to give us your answers.
