Hazel Jackson, Leon âBuddyâ Glover and Barack Obama are among the names School District of Lancaster is considering to rename two of its schools.
The school districtâs 15-member renaming committee this week unveiled five options for Southeast Middle School, formerly Edward Hand Middle School, and seven for Buchanan Elementary School.
Itâs the latest development in a process that started last summer to rename up to five Lancaster schools to reflect the districtâs values today. The school board began by stripping Edward Hand Middle School of its name in June 2020, after community members pushed for the removal of the former Revolutionary War general and slave ownerâs name from the school.
