CHARLOTTESVILLE (WINA) – The advisory committee taking a second shot at naming the newly merged Community Public Charter School middle school and Murray High School has released a list of ten names under consideration. Those names will be on a community survey next month.
This committee started its work last May, and after a similar community process decided on the name Rose Hill Community School. While the intent of that name was to reflect the neighborhood the school is in as well as honor Asalie Preston who taught at what was once the Rose Hill School. However, some residents protested that choice after it was made saying it was also the name of the plantation where the current neighborhood sits. In July, the committee decided to reopen the process… which has been delayed by the pandemic.
