William Horlick High School (WI)

From Hoopedia

William Horlick High School (also known as "Horlick" or "Racine Horlick" High School) is a public, four-year high school in Racine, Wisconsin with an enrollment of approximately 2,150 students. Its school colors are scarlet and gray. It is a comprehensive public school for grades 9 to 12. It has a long-standing crosstown rivalry with Washington Park High School.

The school's official mascot is Polaris, the North Star. However, Horlick is probably better known by their unofficial mascot, the Rebel Yeller. The change is rumored to have occurred in the mid-1900s when the boy's basketball coach Reb (Surname), piloted the Horlick team to a winning season. At that point, the team became known as Reb's Rebels. Since then, there has been controversy over the mascot due to the implications construed by disassociated visual similarities to the Confederate States of America.
