Springville High School is one of the two high schools that serves and is located in Springville, Utah, United States. Mascot Springville High School's mascot is" Red Devils". Two incorrect versions of the origin of the mascot name have been proposed. One of those is based on a 1936 report in the local paper (The Springville Herald) that is based on an individual's memory not consistent with historical fact. The first reference in the press to anything resembling "Red Devils" dates back to 1923 during a tournament of state basketball champions from several western states, where the Springville starters were said to have "played like demons". Springville had won the state basketball championship in 1917 and again in 1923. The earliest use of the "Red Devil" moniker occur in Springville Herald reports of the 1926 Springville High football season. The second incorrect story is often circulated that the mascot name comes from the original construction of the school, when the Red Devil Cement Company allegedly assisted with the building, including an actual cement bag with the Red Devil Cement logo on it that can be found in one of the display cases in the high school. The mascot has come under fire multiple times, the most recent opposition occurring when some local citizens organized a committee called "Parents for Mascot Review". One stated issue is that a devil is a symbol of evil; another is the racial connotations. In a letter to Nebo School District, the president of the Navajo Nation stated that "the use of the term 'Red Devils' lends or conveys the immediate opinion of assertion of offensive racial commentary." Athletics Springville High school has done well in many sports.
