Garland, Texas
Garland is a city in the U.S. state of Texas. It is near the Ray Hubbard lake. It is also near the town of Richardson.
The South Garland High School removed various Confederate symbols from the school in 2015. A floor tile mosaic donated by the Class of 1968 and a granite sign in front of the school were replaced. Both had incorporated the Confederate flag, which was part of the school's original coat of arms. In addition, the district has dropped "Dixie" as the tune for the school fight song.[1] The school changed its Colonel mascot's uniform from Confederate gray to red and blue in 1991.[2]
