Montgomery school board seeking new names for three high schools
Posted May 11, 2021
Montgomery Public Schools has opened an online survey for suggestions for new names for three high schools.
The schools are Jefferson Davis High School, Robert E. Lee High School and Sidney Lanier High School, each named for a Confederate leader or soldier.
Community members can suggest one new name for each school, and the Montgomery Renaming Committee will take them into consideration.
The Board of Education voted on a renaming effort in 2020, but the task as well as the removal of a Lee statue outside the high school that bears his name has been complicated by a 2017 state law protecting Confederate memorials and monuments. A bill to repeal the law and make it easier for local governments to remove or recontextualize their monuments has not moved forward during the current legislative session.

The process to rename three high schools in underway in Montgomery Public Schools. The schools are Jefferson Davis High School, Robert E. Lee High School and Sidney Lanier High School.
Those three schools are named after men tied to the Confederacy. Last year, during national protests over the treatment of Black Americans by police and in society, a petition was circulated to demand the school names be changed.
The Montgomery County school board formed a re-naming committee to seek new names. That committee is seeking public input on what the new names should be.
The suggestion form will close May 21. The committee will consider the suggestions, but final approval will come from the Montgomery County Board of Education.
