[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really feel we should use names that reference the location of the school, no names of people. I've lived in other places that do this and it works fine and makes sense. I'm surprised one of the choices is not a location themed name. [/quote] There are quite a few recommendations for replacement names for JEB Stuart HS. Some are based on locations; most would honor individuals, including these three persons. Most school systems that have researched the issue have concluded that naming schools after individuals is more inspiring. FCPS has many high schools named after white men. The Stuart renaming offers an opportunity to honor a woman and/or person of color for the first time. [/quote]
