One day, a long time ago, the leader of a rare legendary family of wandering stuffed animal-like snakes, Jake, was looking for a new home. After searching for what seemed like forever, he found it—hidden within the walls of Central Catholic High School. Little did the students know that Jake had made his way into the building through an ancient, secret tunnel and decided that this was where he belonged. He immediately sent word to his family and they began to move in.

As the snakes settled in, students often heard strange noises coming from the walls. Many of them thought, “Man, these pipes are weird!” But they would immediately dismiss it with “Oh well, that’s normal. It's an old school.” 

One day, right before robotics practice, a boy named Chuck entered a bathroom stall. To his surprise, he found Jake wrapped around the rail on the wall. He screamed, “AHHH!!! A SNAKE!!! Then Jake spoke.  No one really knows the conversion that took place. But legend says that when the dust settled, Jake, the leader of the snakes, had befriended Chuck and wanted to support his friend and the robotics team. Moved by the support of his new friend, Chuck asked the team if they would make Jake the mascot of the robotics team. He introduced them to Jake and everyone got along.  After that day, Jake became known as Jake the Iron Snake.
