Danville Public Schools seeks public input on a new elementary school name

DANVILLE, Va. – The Danville School Board is now debating what to call the brand-new GLH Johnson Elementary School.

The Danville Public Schools are looking for suggestions from the general public about what the new school should be named so that they may make an informed decision.

In the near future, construction of a brand-new elementary school will begin right next to the existing GLH Johnson Elementary School.

Dr. Angela Hairston, the superintendent of schools, may receive suggestions for the name of the new school at the following address: 341 Main Street Suite 100.

“This new elementary school will be the first school that has been built in Danville since 1995,” said Dr. Wayne Lyle, chief operations officer for Danville Public Schools. “So, we just felt like with the community support that we had behind this bond referendum, it was only appropriate that we solicit their feedback.”

By the 14th of November, all nominations should have been submitted.

The recommendation for the new name will then be presented to the school board on December 1.

As a college student, making an extra buck now and then was very important. I started as a part-time reporter since I was 19 yo, and I couldn’t believe it might become a long-time career. I'm happy to be part of the Virginian Tribune's team.
