2 Alexandria schools have new names
Two schools in Alexandria were given new names on Thursday - including TC Williams High School, which will be renamed Alexandria High School.
ALEXANDRIA, Va. - The Alexandria City Public School Board has voted unanimously to change the name of T.C. Williams High School to Alexandria High School.
In addition, they voted unanimously to change the name of Matthew Maury Elementary School to Naomi L. Brooks Elementary School.
The name changes arrive at the tail end of a flurry of revisions to monuments and names in Virginia and beyond reflecting a legacy of racism in the United States.
Emma Brown on the Importance of Meeting the Emotional Needs of Children
March 12, 2021
The work of preparing boys for healthy relationships often has nothing to do with sex at all. Often it is about helping kids navigate some of the trickiest parts of being human balancing what you want against what others need, taking responsibility when you mess up, rafting emotions without being swamped by them.
I have never seen these skills taught more deftly than by the fourth grade teachers at Maury Elementary in Washington, D.C., a school I’ve reported on for years. On one visit, on a windy morning under blue skies, students learned how they had fared in the lottery that determined where they would go to school the following fall. In a city where public school choice means many kids scatter after fourth grade, it was intense. Some students were nearly vibrating with excitement, having gotten into their first choice; others had been disappointed, and were crumpled and teary.
