the school was established in '61 as SOUTH HILLS CATHOLIC HS with KNIGHTS as the rather pedestrian team mascot. Because the name was popularly shortened to SOUTH CATHOLIC, the mascot very quickly changed to the REBELS, complete with CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAGS and the pep band playing DIXIE. Even when the school went coed in '79 and changed their name to SETON LASALLE HS they retained the REBELS mascot which is odd since the connection to SOUTH is gone. There seems to be little or no pressure to change which is embarrassing.
