Here's the proposed new name for Jason Lee Middle School in Tacoma News Tribune, Tacoma, Wash. 3 hrs ago Allison Needles, The News Tribune (Tacoma, Wash.) May 17—Jason Lee Middle School in Tacoma is one step closer to changing its name. Tacoma Public Schools Superintendent Carla Santorno recommended to the district's Board of Directors on Thursday a new name for Tacoma's Jason Lee Middle School: Hilltop Heritage Middle School. The school, which enrolls around 600 students, has been undergoing a name-change process since last summer, after people wrote to school leaders asking for a change. They cited a history of cultural genocide and abuse of indigenous people by the man the school was named for.
