[quote=Anonymous][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: [b]Wilson, Roosevelt, Coolidge -- Easy, the presidents[/b] 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 - Phoebe Hearst, mother of William Randolph Hearst and philanthropist Who else? [/quote] John Tyler, too.[/quote] John Tyler was the 10th President of the United States. [/quote]
