Hunter also offers a wide array of off campus programs ranging from Travel and Tourism to Aviation to Home Building. Many of these courses are provided in conjunction with Salt Lake Community College ATHLETICS Hunter High's mascot is the Wolverine . The name was originally slated to be the Rebels before the idea of Wolverines was suggested by and agreed upon by members of the football team in 1990. Michigan's uniform colors were suggested as well but due to the similarity to rival Cyprus High School's colors, the Navy and Maize was dropped for Navy and Silver. Also of note is that the school's fight song is the same as The University Of Michigan 's. All of this can be attributed to the number of UM fans that were on that first football team. In their first year of competition, Hunter's Football team was held winless but turned their fortunes around the next year and made it to the "turf" (a reference to the playing surface that was installed at the University Of Utah 's Rice-Eccles Stadium which hosts the state high school playoffs). Hunter's football team has had repeated success ever since with its run-first offense which, as a result, has given Hunter the nickname of "Tail Back High". In 2003, Hunter's football team won their first state championship. As of the end of the 2005 season, Hunter's overall record is 123-56 and has only twice finished a season under .500 (1990 and 1994) 2003 also saw Hunter's boys basketball and hockey teams winning championships.
