[quote=Anonymous]Some takes for renaming any of the schools listed, and some I was always wished that they had to rename at some points. Honestly, just go ahead and disagree with some of them.

Poolesville HS --&gt; Thomas Plater (lawyer from Maryland who died in Poolesville)
Richard Montgomery HS --&gt; Hungerford (named after one of Rockville's earliest names)
Montgomery Blair HS --&gt; Francis Preston Blair (person who owned most of the land in Silver Spring at the time, also would still be fitting because his last name is Blair, so it wouldn't be too much of a problem either)
Magruder HS --&gt; Derwood-Redland (no idea with this one to be honest, it's really hard because Muncaster would've been a good idea but considering he also was kinda involved in slavery, it's difficult to determine Magruder's renaming)

Some other high schools that I would've considered that aren't on the list, and based on other posters here.
Rockville HS --&gt; Rock Creek (I actually kinda like this one, it fits more than just naming it Rockville, since it's right by Rock Creek).
Walt Whitman HS --&gt; Clara Barton (Some other parts in where Whitman is served in Bethesda honor Barton, and I think it'd be better to name it after Barton instead of Whitman)
James Blake HS --&gt; Jim Henson (honestly wished they came up with Jim Henson HS if Henson were to agree to rename it after him, and yes, this actually did happen)
