 Auburn High 's costumed mascot is Samford , an anthropomorphic tiger . Samford was created in 1995 and named for three symbols of the school : Samford Avenue , which runs by the school ; Duck Samford Stadium , Auburn High 's football stadium ; and Samford Hall , the most prominent building in Auburn . Kari Pierce and Brian Puckett were the first Samford in 1995 .
