Teton High School is a four-year public secondary school in Driggs, Idaho, the only traditional high school of the Teton School District #401 and Teton County. The school colors are maroon and orange and the mascot is a Redskin. In 2013, the school superintendent announced he would replace the mascot with one not offense to the native Shoshoni tribe who were the area's earliest known inhabitants.[3] Two months later, after intense opposition by some residents, the superintendent said the Redskin mascot would remain and the issue would be revisited in the future.[4]
