Dictator Reid at it again. She must be in control of everything. This one is pretty minor but continues to ignore others and her decisions are hurtful to learning and student growth.


Is it just me, but shouldn't they have taken the top suggestions from the Open House at the school and used those?
Instead, she chose Western and a bunch of astronauts.

Does she have any clue? Just because we live near a museum does not mean we all want astronaut related names. This is a suburban area of families that just want a good high school experience for their kids.


Amen.

Many people wanted Oak Hill, Dulles, Floris, Sully, etc.

They were not even on the survey questionnaire.

Said the MAGA tool who thinks Liberty High, Freedom High, and Independence High are great names, but can't stand Justice High, maybe because it reminds them of what many of us hope Donald Trump and his felonious cronies will one day face.


Donald Trump High School? That is a fantastic idea!


Not gonna happen here, fascist. Maybe in Alabama.

And Dr. Reid ultimately recommended naming it…

Western High School.

So there was all this drama when it was going to be named that anyway?

This whole thing seems like a waste.


Welcome to FCPS. Where a total waste is a moderately good result because the moist likely alternative is something that is actively bad.

It can still go sideways if someone gets triggered by westerns.

Oak hill is a dumb name.


It's not a dumb name. It's a name with historic significance to the area.

And, while the community wants a community school, it would appear that some in FCPS leadership do not. Maybe, they listened to the people for mocking us for using that name. Look at a map and see where we are.
