Washburn Castle Guards

The Washburn Castle Guards are the athletic teams of Washburn High School in Washburn, Wisconsin. The school's mascot is a knight, and the school colors are red and black.

There are a few theories about why Washburn High School is nicknamed the Castle Guards. One theory is that the nickname is a reference to the school's original building, which was built in 1903 and looked like a castle. The building was destroyed in a fire in 1947, but the nickname remains.

Another theory is that the nickname is a reference to the school's location. Washburn is located on the shores of Lake Superior, and the school's mascot is a knight who is looking out over the lake.
