[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the namesake was a national or international (Churchill) "celebrity," then yes. If the school was named after a county commissioner from the 40's, well, then, not really. [/quote] So by your thinking students at Walter Johnson should not be expected to know who he was?[/quote] OP, are you tutoring these kids? Perhaps that is your answer. My DS, who is 10 and will likely not attend WJ, already knows about Walter Johnson (including the location of his old home anytime we drive by there.) Fortunately my high school is named after its location, and not a person. I personally like the location related names >> historic names. Just my two cents.[/quote]
