Marston is a senior at Leodis V. McDaniel High School.
This may be the first time that you are hearing the name Leodis V. McDaniel. And that is one of the many reasons that the Madison High School community and its renaming committee found it so important to honor such a remarkable person in our name change. Someone who so deeply reflects our school’s core values of community, respect, education, equity and diversity should be widely recognized and celebrated as the leader he was and through our renaming, we were given the opportunity to make that a reality.
