[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When ever I go to a school I wonder who it's named for. In DC it's a real grab-bag, from the notable to the forgettable. Do you know who your school is named for? Here are some of the ones I know off the top of my head: Wilson, Roosevelt, Coolidge -- Easy, the presidents Hardy -- Rose L Hardy, early 20th century DCPS administrator Deal -- Alice Deal, early 20th century DCPS administrator Stoddert -- Benjamin Stoddert, first secretary of the Navy Mann -- Horace Mann, educator Key -- Francis Scott Key, author of the national anthem Hearst - [b]Phoebe Hearst[/b], mother of William Randolph Hearst and philanthropist Who else? [/quote] And founder of the PTA movement. Several "Phoebe Hearst" schools are located around the country. [/quote]
