Fun Facts & Stats! ๐คฉ
Meet the DeKalb Barbs, one of the most unique mascots you'll ever come across in Illinois. This mascot isn't about a fierce animal, but it's still pretty cool. The name "Barbs" comes from DeKalb's claim to fame: it's where barbed wire was invented. Yep, in 1873, Joseph Glidden patented the barbed wire fence that's still used today by farmers and ranchers. The DeKalb High School Barbs honor this piece of history, making their mascot a tribute to innovation and civic pride โญ. So, while they might not have claws or teeth, the Barbs are definitely sharp when it comes to school spirit ๐
