Each school established committees made of teachers, parents and administrators to determine the new names for the campuses. The schools that will change their names are:

  • Robert E. Lee Elementary School will become Geneva Heights Elementary School;
  • William L. Cabell Elementary School will become Chapel Hill Preparatory;
  • Stonewall Jackson Elementary School will become Mockingbird Elementary School.

Meanwhile, Albert Sidney Johnston Elementary School is set to receive a new name by February.

The new names for the schools will go into effect July 1, 2018.
