May 29, 201511 yr I get the sense that not everyone, present and past, associated with Highlands High School is completely thrilled having "Bluebirds" as their team name. Let's be honest, in a world of Cougars, Eagles, Panthers, and Jaguars, it's at the bottom of the predator scale, unless you're a worm. It is semi-unique and there is a long tradition, but it's not like there's a geographical reason to keep it (like Pioneers or Colonels) Are you OK with "Bluebirds" or would you change it? And to what? I would upgrade to BlueJays - still unique and keeps the blue part.
May 29, 201511 yr Once a Bluebird, always a Bluebird. Why would we want to change it? We are the only Bluebirds in the commonwealth of KY! Fear the Bird. :angrybird12:

Been in Fort Thomas over 30 years and in the school system over 20 and not once in that time have I ever received that vibe from a single person. I've never even thought about it but I'm good with it. What's better than a little ol' Bluebird kicking someone's rear end? Other teams may need to call themselves Cougars, Eagles or Panthers to get the attention of the opponent. Not Highlands.
May 29, 201511 yr Never heard anyone wanting to change it. They even embrace the derogatory "Cake eaters"!

May 29, 201511 yr I think that is the point nobody fears a little tiny bird! Keep telling yourself that while you obsess on that bird. You might even convince yourself someday. No one else is buying it.
May 29, 201511 yr I really like the original, different mascot names. I wish more schools had relied on local history/items of significance unique to the area to name their teams.
