From Wikipedia:"The school is conventionally named after Cadwallader C. Washburn. When the school was presented to the school board it was called 'William D. Washburn High School', in reference to the brother of Cadwallader C. Washburn, however naming the school after William D. Washburn is thought to be an error. The school has been heavily influenced by Minneapolis' milling empire. The school's newspaper, The Grist, involves milling terminology, the school's colors blue and orange, were those of Gold Medal Flour, a company partly run by the Washburn family and a predecessor to General Mills and the athletic teams' nickname are the 'Millers'.
