Facebook has fed me some semi-relevant slop:
I didn’t click through to educate the fellow, but that’s a Republic school. It’s named after General Lyon, who died at the Battle of Wilson’s Creek. The other elementary schools are named after General McCulloch and General Schofield (and they face each other across a street, two miles from the later Lyon Elementary, because Republic built all of its schools together back in the day for the ease of bussing or something, but that seems weirder than what that dull man posted).
Republic’s mascot is the Tigers. As are so many mascots in Missouri since the flagship university, Mizzou, is home of the Tigers.
Sparta, though, is home of the Trojans.
