It is now the Thurgood Marshall Middle School and its mascot is the Tigers. Their colors are Maroon, gold and black.

I hear ya...I live in Fairfax County, and the mascot for Fairfax High School used to be the Rebels. It is now the Pride {as in a pride of lions}, and the school users the monicker "Feel our Rebel Pride" if you can believe that.
