[edit] Oldest high school in the western US
Marysville High School claims to be the oldest U.S. high school west of the Mississippi River [this claim may be in error], it opened its doors in 1871. It was the first feeder school to UC Berkeley [which the same source claims is the oldest college west of the Mississippi, established in 1868--this is an error, as a number of colleges west of the Mississippi pre-date Berkeley]. As of June 2006, it has had 134 graduating classes, perhaps the most in the Western US. The school mascot is the Indians (the "offensive" nickname itself caused controversy for two decades, but the school board voted to keep the mascot and nickname), and the school colors are orange and black.
