What did we get? When did we get it?

To answer those two important Fourth of July questions, take a trip to Northern California about an hour south of San Francisco and meet the 76ers of
Independence (San Jose, Calif.). Ever since the planning stages, this school has maintained a connection to Independence Day, as it opened to students in 1976, the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. If you wanted to get technical, you could say the 76ers mascot just has to do with when the school opened. But
Sammy the Sixer would tell you otherwise. You can find the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers, and one other high school with the same mascot name. Which school is that? Check out the next slide.
