[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question:

Is Justice a better high school than Stuart?  Any information on this.  Have things improved with the kids?[/quote]

I think the new name has been positive.  It showed that the School Board cared enough about the school to listen to those who found the Stuart name offensive and spend money on new signs, uniforms, etc.  Many students participated in the renaming ceremony in the fall, which the Lieutenant Governor (Justin Fairfax) and other elected officials attended.  The football team had a winning season wearing their new uniforms.  They are getting a kick now out of the fact that Merriam-Webster just announced that "Justice" was the "word of the year."

Time will tell whether more teachers will want to work at a school that isn't named after a Confederate, or whether more parents will want to send their kids there, or whether the SOL scores will improve.
