I went to Apple Valley high School in Apple Valley, California.
the one claim to fame about AVHS in the 1980s is that Cuba Gooding Jr went there when i was there in the 80s.
I was actually in drama class or club with him. he sure could break dance back then!
our colors were orange and black ( like halloween)

our Mascot was the Sundevil....now this is the sad but funny part....
we had in our town actually hollywood royality. Roy Rogers and Dale Evans lived there 'til their deaths. i knew their grand children. Anyway, they tried to change our mascots from the "Sun Devils" to ok bust out laughing now..."Happy Apples". we had the Los Angeles news stations crawling all over this and they filmed us at a pep rally where we were singing the alma mater. Get this the news ppl thought it would be funny to cut the singing part and make it look like we were worshipping the the devil face ( our mascot) on the gym wall.


so the sundevil and halloween colors made us out to be devil worshipers and almost made us into happy Apples.

HAPPY ending ....we kept the name and the mascot...we just painted a nicer more PC face of a sundevil on the wall of our gym and mascot stuff.


I Kid you not!!!!!!!!!!!
