TACOMA, Wash. Tacoma is one step closer to changing the name of Woodrow Wilson High School – after several alumni sent letters to the principal pointing out the former president’s racist ties.
The superintendent says naming the school after local trailblazer Dolores Silas is the best option.
Last week, Superintendent Carla Santorno formally recommended to the Tacoma School Board that Wilson High School should instead bear the name of Silas, a local education and racial equity trailblazer.
