HAMPTON, Va. A day after neighboring Newport News approved new names for four of its schools, the Hampton School Board changed the names of five of its own schools.
Like Newport News and several other cities in Virginia, Hampton took a look at the origins of its school names and sought to change those that had connections to slavery, the Civil War, and the Jim Crow era.
At its school board meeting Wednesday night, the Hampton School Board unanimously approved the following changes:
Lafond said they have met with Nadeau and a contract is just awaiting signatures.
Winnacunnet School Board Chairman Henry Marsh said Nadeau is “enthusiastic” about returning to the Seacoast.
“She’s an excellent candidate,” Marsh said. “She s experienced and we are enthusiastic about having her on board.”
Nadeau replaces Bill Lupini, who resigned from the position in December after serving in the role since 2017. Dr. Caroline Arakelian, who has served as interim superintendent since Lupini’s departure, will return to her position as SAU 21’s executive director of student services, according to Lafond.
“We can’t thank her enough for her guidance and knowledge and support through this whole process,” Lafond said. “She has been amazing, and she helped lead us out of the pandemic.”
