JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jaheim Bentley, a senior at Lee High School, took a detour during his school day last week at lunchtime. He submitted his vote in support of changing the school's name.
Bentley, who is a part of student government and is a member of the local I'm A Star Foundation, where he mentors fifth and sixth-grade students, originally didn't plan on voting. But after thinking it through, he got into line early last Monday and said poll workers told him he was the first student to vote at the time.
