Students launch new push to name Auburn High School after Harriet Tubman

Some students are asking that Auburn High School be renamed Harriet Tubman High School to honor the iconic abolitionist and former city resident. Jane Oliver, one of the student representatives currently serving on the Auburn Enlarged City School District Board of Education, brought up the suggestion at the board s meeting Tuesday night. Oliver, daughter of Auburn Junior High School Principal David Oliver, said she emailed the board the day before about an initiative from students to rename the high school after Tubman. Jane Oliver acknowledged there have been past unsuccessful attempts at this same change. A group called Multicultural Students and Teachers Against Racism proposed it in March 1995, leading a large group of students to walk out of the school in protest five days later.
