Lehi High School
Lehi High School is a public high school in Lehi, Utah. The school mascot is the Pioneer, specifically Pioneer Pete, in honor of the city being founded in 1850 by a group of Mormon pioneers. The school has progressed from 3A to 5A in the last five years due to recent growth in nearby Saratoga Springs, Lehi, and Eagle Mountain. History In the late 1800s, the students met in the attic of the old Central School, but as patrons demanded more structure and formality for their students in the secondary grades, Lehi High School was created in 1908. The mascot was originally the Wolverine, and the school colors were blue and white. When a new grammar school was constructed, Central School became exclusively a high school. In 1912, the colors were changed from blue and white to purple and white, but it was not until 1925 that the mascot was changed to the Pelicans because newspaper reporters in Salt Lake City felt a wolverine was too violent to be a high school mascot. In 1934–35, th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
