Feb 2, 2021, News Release
(ALBEMARLE COUNTY, Virginia) – Beginning today, members of the Virginia L. Murray school community will have the opportunity to choose whether they prefer to keep the existing name of their school or select a new name. A community advisory committee, appointed this past November, has been conducting a school naming review these past few months.
The review follows enactment of a School Board policy that requires all schools in the division named for an individual to conduct a review of their school name. The purpose is to ensure that school names are consistent with the school division’s values of excellence, young people, community, and respect.

Feb 3, 2021 News Release
(ALBEMARLE COUNTY, Virginia) – More than 92 percent of local school community residents responding to an online survey said this week that the current name of V. L. Murray Elementary School should remain the same. The survey was conducted by the school’s Community Advisory Committee as part of their review of the school’s name.
Next Wednesday, February 10, beginning at 6:30 p.m., the committee will host a public meeting to hear from community residents about the online survey, which drew 458 responses. While the large majority of survey participants supported retaining the school’s current name, the most popular suggestion for a new name was Ivy Elementary School, a reference to the school’s location in the western part of Albemarle County.

CHARLOTTESVILLE (WINA) – The advisory committee taking a second shot at naming the newly merged Community Public Charter School middle school and Murray High School has released a list of ten names under consideration. Those names will be on a community survey next month.
This committee started its work last May, and after a similar community process decided on the name Rose Hill Community School. While the intent of that name was to reflect the neighborhood the school is in as well as honor Asalie Preston who taught at what was once the Rose Hill School. However, some residents protested that choice after it was made saying it was also the name of the plantation where the current neighborhood sits. In July, the committee decided to reopen the process… which has been delayed by the pandemic.
