Meet the Marching Tomcats of East Aurora High School in Illinois This mascot is more than just a cute face; it's a symbol of toughness and school spirit. The name "Tomcats" originated in the 1930s as a tribute to Coach Glen Thompson, affectionately known as "Tommy," who turned the school's football team around. The story goes that a player jokingly changed Thompson's signature to "Tomcat" on a weight room sign-in sheet, and the name just stuck. Today, the Tomcats march proud, representing their school with a fierce yet charming persona 🐾. Whether it's on the football field or during a lively marching band performance, the Tomcats embody the spirit of their school and community 🏆.
