Bedford Senior High School is the high school for the Bedford Public Schools located in Temperance, Michigan. The school website claims that Bedford High holds the distinction of being the only school in the nation that uses the mule as its mascot. The mascot's origins can be traced back to the pioneer days of Bedford Township, where most farmers of the area used mules for their small size, yet powerful build. They are notorious for their stubborn attitude.
