Edmondson's Redstorms (formerly known as Redskins) hold many athletic championships around the city. In the 2006-2007 academic year, their varsity football team were the 2A State Champions[1] and the varsity wrestling team were the city Champions. The class of 2005 was the last class to graduate which had used the Redskins as the school mascot. That class is often nicknamed "The Last Of The Redskins."
