[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they renamed it George Washington High some old alum would be upset because GW High in Alexandria used to be W-L's archrival. Washington-Lincoln is the best choice. More stuff in this state should be named after prominent Union leaders.[/quote] There was a substantial Union presence in Northern Virginia, and Lincoln ventured into NoVa for a review of Union troops in 1861. Julia Ward Howe was inspired to compose the Battle Hymn of the Republic as a result of another review of Union troops the same month at Upton's Hill in Arlington: http://dclawyeronthecivilwar.blogspot.com/2010/11/grand-review-at-baileys-crossroads.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upton%27s_Hill Washington-Lincoln does indeed seem a much better choice than Washington-Loving, which makes about as much sense as Adams-Roe or Jefferson-Miranda.
