In February 2015, at a boys' basketball game against Plano East Senior High School, two students (one, a then Flower Mound High School student, the other a former student from an unspecified Lewisville Independent School District school) in the Flower Mound High School student section held up signs reading "White Power". The signs, provided to the students by cheerleaders, were meant to read "Navy, Silver, White" (the school's colors) and "Jaguar Power" (in reference to their mascot). The incident sparked controversy on social networks, and was covered by both local and national media outlets. An investigation was conducted by the Lewisville Independent School District. On February 20, 2015, the Lewisville Independent School District confirmed the display of the signs had been intentional and stated that, in conjunction with the local police department, disciplinary action had been taken.
