High School
24401 Doug ——— Staunton High School Staunton City High School Makes the most sense
22980 James Brown Robert E. Lee High School
The name of the school should remain
the same.
24401 Brooke (Hanna) Trzcinski Staunton High School
I am a ‘94 graduate of Lee. I always
wondered why we weren’t Staunton HS
like ALL of the other schools around us.
No one can argue if you name your
high school after your city. What other
choice is there? None of the other
choices make any sense. I lettered in
two sports while at Lee. Both of my
letters are ‘S’. I urge the board to make
the sensible decision.
22311 Theresa (Markley) Brion Staunton High School N/A
Staunton High School was the earlier
name. It was the name when my
grandparents attended. It also is not
controversial but while also indicating
its location.
23237 Susanah (Traxler) Crowder Paul Hatcher High School
He was my pe coach and always a
wonderful teacher. He was kind and
encouraging. He also took our
Basketball team to state. I have never
heard anyone say a bad thing about
him.
24401 Hannah A Queen City High School Woodrow Wilson

going to the high school next year
24401 donna A. Courage or Justice High
Takes courage and u listened to the
people and to teach the kids todday no
matter what u do in life have courage
everyday to follow your dreams and to
let them know that your community is
behind u all the way. when u leave that
school u will know to treat people with
dignity and respect for yourself and
others, not by the color of their skin..
no hate .we cannot erase the past but
we can change today, we canstart now
55403 Juliette Aaslestad Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
I think Shenandoah Valley High School
or Staunton High School are more
encompassing and show the area in
which the students live in and come
from. They are inclusive and allow for
the school's alumni and current
population to be proud of the city or
area in which they live and that their
school is reflective of that. Thank you!
24401 Hannah Abigail Queen City High School
it’s not discriminatory and it shows the
pride of staunton as the Queen City

24401 Emma Adams Queen City High School Staunton High School Alexander Efird High School A good role model
24401 Gena Adams Francis Collins High School
Dr Collins attended Lee HS, is know all
over the world with his work in the
Human Genome Project. He inspires
and serves as a great example of our
community.
24401 Richard Adams Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School
There is no other school called
"Shenandoah" in the Valley. There used
to be one in Page County. It became an
elementary school in the 1960's. There
was a school in Bath County called
"Valley High School" until the merger in
the 1970's.. The term "Shenandoah" is
or Native American Origins. There are
several "versions" of the Word. From a
marketing standpoint, Shenandoah
would be better than Shenandoah
Valley because people would
eventually shorten the term anyway
and call it Shenandoah. Basically,
Shenandoah is a prettier word and is
known throughout the world. There is
my one and only opinion.
24401 Ellie Adams Queen City High School Staunton High School
Shows the local area the school is
located
24482 Virginia Adams Queen City High School
Florance Nightingale High
School
Should the school board choose to
name the high school after a historical
figure, Florence Nightingale would be a
wonderful choice, as her contributions
to modern medicine through sanitation
have saved the lives of millions
24401 Andy Adams Staunton High School
Socially neutral and aligns best with the
city in which it is located
24482 Jessica Adams Coach T high school
Coach T was an amazing man! Out of all
the teachers I had growing up in
Staunton. Coach T is the only one that
stands out. He was a great coach!! He is
missed dearly!!
24401 Sydney Adams Queen City High School Queen City royals It is fresh and new
24590 Waverly Adcock Staunton High School
Staunton High School was the original
name.
24401 Grace Adkins Queen City High School N/A
Queen City High School incorporates
the history of the town into the new
name. It is also a unique name that
stands out much more than names
such as Staunton High School.
22980 Lin Adler Shenandoah High School
Shenandoah was my favorite but
Queen City was a close second

23601 Lawrence Agee Staunton High School Robert E Lee High School
Why waste the money changing the
name when you can keep the name
and use on something important like
fixing the school
24401 Carolyn Agnor Divided City HS That is what has happened
22939 Kimberly Aguirre Queen City High School The color goes with it
24401 Sheila Ahmadi Staunton High School
It makes sense to use the original name
rather than manufacture additional
names.
22827 Melissa Aldrich Staunton High School It was a previous name of the school
22846 Megan ALEXANDER Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton City High School To honor the City of Staunton.
22801 Grant Alger Queen City High School none It is not political and it sounds good.
24401 Karen Allamon Staunton High School
John Lewis High School

Revolutionary war patriot so you still
got the hero/fighty thing, plus founder
of Staunton.
22939 Madeline Allen Queen City High School N/A Popular name among friends
24401 Elma Allen Staunton High School Lew DeWitt High School
The school was originally Staunton High
School, so I’m hoping that name will be
chosen. However, it would be fine to
have the school named after Lew
Dewitt, with the mascot being the
Rocker.
24401 Kayla Allen Queen City High School
It's stately, references Staunton
historical roots, and has a nice
"feminine power" ring to it.
22980 Coty Allen Queen City High School Staunton High School .
24477 Kati Almarode
Leave the name alone, don't
change it at all
There is no reason to change it. It is
part of history. When you try to erase
history, it does have a way of repeating
itself. I grew up in this area and cant
believe this is even happening.
Furthermore, changing it, you may as
well change the city name, and change
our capitols name. This is a waste of the
city's money. We could use it on so
many other BETTER, Needed, and
productive things!
24477 Kristie Altis Snowflake High School
Queen city is offensive to transvestites,
shenandoah hs should be in
shenandoah county, Shen. Valley hs
would be fine if you were the only
school on the shenandoah valley but
youre not, lady staunton was as slave
owner also so thats no better than
Robert E Lee, and valley high sounds
like the stupid sweet vally high books
so that is stupid too. Just call it was it is.
A school run by a board of snowflakes
that just want something to complain
about.
22802 Patricia Alvarez Staunton High School Barack Obama High School Good names
24401 Chris Ammons Queen City High School Staunton High School Relevant to the city
24054 LaTonya Anderson Shenandoah Valley High School None.
The school is in the Shenandoah Valley
and it is a beautiful placee to live. Also,
from the school you can see the
beautiful mountains, it was a great
place to grow up and attend school.
22801 Christian Anderson Queen City High School Francis Collins High School Most Notable Alumni
24402 Michaela Anderson Queen City High School Staunton High School Its the best one
24401 Kristen Anderson Queen City High School Queen City represents Staunton well
24401 Quinn Anderson Queen City High School Lee High School
It doesn’t resemble a confederate
general who was involved in the
keeping of slaves, but simply is just
“Lee”, which has no relation to him.
Additionally, the school can save
money on the changing of jersey’s, and
other school affiliated items with Lee
printed on them.

Of the 5 names listed, Staunton High
School is the only name that is possible.
24401 Charles Andrews Queen City High School It’s unique and different
24401 Sharon Angle
Don’t care for any of these. Staunton is
a City and most of these sound like a
County name. There is already a
Staunton River High School and
Charlotte, NC claims the title of Queen
City.

I talked to so many students and a huge

Queen City is a huge representation of
Staunton city and it’s more creative
than just naming it affer our town so I
believe it’s perfect for the name of our
city’s high school
24401 Teresa Anson Staunton High School
What a shame to lose the
name of the school written
on my diploma. It will always
be Lee High to me. Maybe
we could just name it Lee
High which would associate
it to a person’s name.
No one has wanted to change the
name of our city so Staunton High
School should be a safe name that want
cause any hurt.

I grew up in Staunton and went to RE
Lee all four years. It wasn't until I found
out the name had been changed from
Staunton HS to RE Lee just after
integration that I was excited about a
name change. The US is not the same
country and Staunton is not the same
town we were in the 1960s. I think a
little hospitality is called for in this
season. Also, just for fun, if you named
the school Queen City HS, you could
call the football team "Parliament,"
which just sounds baller, as the kids
would say. —Trent Anthony, 34,

Simple and eliminates fuel for
disagreements.
23238 Mary Archer Queen City High School Staunton High School
The school is the only public high
school in Staunton, so Staunton High is
most appropriate. Queen City High
gives a nod to the city’s history which
could appease those who are indignant
over the name change.
24401 Devin Archie Staunton High School Paul Hatcher High School
Nobody in staunton has a problem with
Coach Hatcher. He was Lee High and
his name on the school would be a
bridge between those who are for and
those who oppose the name change.
And I think he really deserves it! His
players, assistant coaches and family
put a lot of time in putting Lee High on
the map.

24401 Marsha Arehart Staunton High School Lee High
Staunton is fitting because of the town
it's in and dropping the R.E. but
keeping Lee would obviously be the
most cost effective. Personally I don't
want my personal property and real
estate taxes that I paid to the city of
Staunton to go up because someone
else other than me decided that we
need this. I'm sure that is of no concern
to them, it is quite easy to spend other
people's money. Had the taxpayers
been allowed a vote on this none of
this would even be an issue.
24401 Martha Arehart Shenandoah Valley High School Robert E Lee

Lee High (omit the Robert E

Even if you change the name residents
will say “Lee” or “the Old Lee High

system money because they won’t
have to purchase all new uniforms, etc.
for students as most already say Lee on
them.

24401 Amy Arnold Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School
"Shenandoah High School" or
"Shenandoah Valley High School" ties
the name to the land and to a place we
all share. The name "Shenandoah" is
Native American in origin; using this
name for our high school also pays
homage to the true native population
of the land where Staunton now exists.
Both of the names "Shenandoah High
School" and "Shenandoah Valley High
School" rely on timeless meanings,
transcending present and future
political framings.
24401 Albert Arnold Staunton High School
"Staunton" is clear, accurate, and non-

24401 Heidi Austin-Cook Staunton High School Staunton United High School
I actually like all the suggestions.
Adding 'United' to the name drives
home the purpose of removing Lee
from the building, especially after the
year we have been through with folks
being divided on the issue. Plus
chanting "Staunton United" at sporting
events would sound awesome!
24401 John Avoli Staunton High School R E Lee Best alternative!

The civil war happened, good men
fought for what they believed in and
NO the civil war was not just about
Slavery, stop trying to erase history
because some crybabies were offended
that HISTORY didn’t go in their favor.
Once you erase history, it’s bound to
repeat itself. I sure hope my tax money
wouldn’t be paying for this, as it
shouldn’t since I’m in Augusta County
but this whole thing is just childish.

Naming it Staunton H.S. would return
to its original, neutral name before the
Lost Causers named it after Lee. It is
politically neutral and can't offend
anyone. Alternatively, after 80 years of
a name honoring someone who
defended slavery, naming the school
after Lucy Francis Simms, an
elementary school teacher from
Harrisonburg who was born a slave,
would be a good way to honor a Civil
Rights figure who is as local as I could
find.

located and is the original name.
24401 Alexis Barkley Queen City High School Staunton High School It just fits better
24401 Jordan Barmer Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Virginia's state high school No reason
24401 Chessa Barna Queen City High School Staunton High School
A name representative of our township
is more appropriate.
Adria Barnard Queen City High School Valley High School
Woodrow Wilson High
School
It’s honoring a president and Staunton
is his hometown
24401 Richard Barned Staunton High School Historically accurate.
24401 Catherine Barnes Staunton High School
Staunton High School is true historic
name. Also, much more clear on
branding (variations on Shenandoah
and Valley misleading). Queen City too
twee....
24401 Pauletta Barnhart Queen City High School Better than the other options
24401 George Barrett Staunton High School Same name as city
20814 Maggie Barrett Staunton High School Francis Collins High School
Current NIH director Francis Collins is a
Stauntonian and an alumnus of Lee
High. Seems fitting to name the school
in his honor. Bonus: make the
curriculum STEAM focused, given his
success in the sciences and his interest
in and love of the arts.
24401 Taryn Barrett Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Valley High School
R.E Lee high school (keep it
the same) Can’t change history!
24401 Valerie Barrett Staunton High School
We live in Staunton City; in the
Midwest our schools were named after
the cities they were in.
24401 Tya Barron Queen City High School Staunton
We are raising the future and they are
royals
24402 Bob Barron Staunton High School It’s all local!
24401 Jana Barry Queen City High School Robert E. Lee High
my kids graduated from Robert E Lee -
Mr Lee was a reformist post the war, I
do not see a problem with a school
named after a reformist if you are
teaching all of the history not just what
is convenient
24401 Mckenna Barry Queen City High School Sounds better then the rest
24401 Brittany Bartley Queen City High School Staunton High School
I think it is a reflection of the city and
surrounding area
24401 Jason Bartley Robert E. Lee High School The name should not be changed
24477 William Bartley Staunton High School
There is no motive, political, racial, etc.,
in naming the school after the city.
24401 Amanda Bartley Queen City High School Staunton High School Na
22840 Jill Bartoleva Robert E Lee High School Because it's our heritage and history
24401 Elisa Barton Staunton High School
It's neutral, and also was the name
prior to being changed to Lee.
24401 Desi Barton Staunton High School Lee High School
To keep them the leeman. Less money
to spend on change all the school
brand name. It will also ease those who
are angry about the change. No one
calls it R E Lee. Just Lee it does not have
to a name associated with Robert E.
Lee.
24401 Carl Barton Valley High School
NO VOTE HIGH SCHOOL
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE HAD NO VOICE IN STAUNTON
24401 Lou Barton Valley High School Louis T. March Because I like what he has to say
22980 Ida Basilio Queen City High School Gypsy Hill High School
Queen City because it's very unique, it's
common to name a school after the city
it's in, but using the nickname of the
city is a fun idea, and Gypsy Hill
because of that park, and that's where
the vote happened to change the name
22801 Sierra Bass Queen City High School Staunton High School Valley High School Sounds good
24401 Daizhon Battle Queen City High School nothing Idk
24401 Javon Battle Queen City High School Queen City I really like the name of the school
24401 Nova Baughman Queen City High School Valley High School Robert E. Lee
Its part of our history. History is what
makes us who we are as a society
24401 Vanessa Baughman
Staunton Augusta high
school
It not only covers the city but county
also
24401 Willson Baxley Staunton High School Valley High School
Both names fit appropriately to be used
over R.E. Lee High School
24401 Dorothy Baxley Staunton High School The others don't tell where the school is
31410 George Baylor Paul Hatcher High School
He was the famous basketball coach
there for 43 years! He epitomized
sportsmanship and winning!
24401 Jess Bayne Staunton High School Lee high Should stay the same
24401 Rocky Beal Queen City High School Staunton High School Valley High School Brunswick High School Idk
22802 Leslie Beam Queen City High School
Because Staunton is the Queen City, it's
only fitting.
24401 Diana Beam Staunton High School Francis S. Collins High School
an American physician-geneticist who
discovered the genes associated with a
number of diseases and led the Human
Genome Project. He is director of the
National Institutes of Health and was
born in Staunton.
24401 Cindy Beam Queen City High School Staunton High School
Because the name should have
something to do with Staunton City not
the Shenandoah valley
24401 Lee Beam Staunton High School Original name
24401 Sebastian Beam Queen City High School
Because Queen City is a beautiful name
and it is not bland just like “Staunton
city schools”
24401 Jennifer Beam Queen City High School Staunton City High School Any of these good options.
24401 Olivia Bean Queen City High School Staunton High School Na
24477 Heidi Bean Queen City High School
It is the most unique name. Unique
name for a unique city.
24401 Kaycee Bean Queen City High School Queen City High School
It adds personality to the name of
Staunton's high school
22802 Barbara Bean Staunton High School
Revert to the previous, and I believe
original, name.
24401 Oscar Beasley
John Gilbert Lewis High
School
John Gilbert Lewis is father of City of
Staunton.
24430 Jessica Beaty Staunton High School just because
24401 Ashton Beauchamp Staunton High School Original
24401 James Beaver Queen City High School Sally Hemings High School
Because if the Jefferson association
won't recognize her then someone
should.
24401 Jessica Beaver Queen City High School
Mary Elizabeth Bowser High
School
Mary Bowser was an escaped slave and
union spy working in the Confederate
White House as Jefferson Davis' slave.
She risked her life to pass information
North, and eventually burned the place
to the ground on her way out.
24401 Sarah Becker Queen City High School
It’s another name for Staunton and it
has a nice ring to it
24401 Natalie Becker Queen City High School
Queen City is a nice way to represent
the high school of Staunton, Virginia.
24401 Susan Becker Staunton High School
Staunton is the city where the school is
located.
24401 Barbara Becker Robert E Lee High School
enough of the political division. The
existing name was not a problem for all
until the media and politics made it an
issue
24401 Rachel Becker Staunton High School
Because most other schools are named
after their location, so should we. It
makes the most sense
24401 Sarah Becker Queen City High School
It sounds better than Staunton high
school and means the same thing
22980 Morgan Beckerdite Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Queen City is very unique
24441 Danielle Beckey Staunton High School Francis Collins High School
Most prestigious alumni, brilliant
human, family connection to Staunton,
MBU and Oak Grove
22939 Andrea Behrer Shenandoah Valley High School
It’s a neutral name. I may be a white
female, but a name like Robert e lee is
outdated and inappropriate. May even
make some students uncomfortable.
24401 Kathy Belcher Staunton High School
2, 3 and 5 are too generic and don't
add to an identity. I like Queen City but
it doesn't feel right either. It is the high
school of Staunton.
22980 Sandi Belcher Staunton High School
Since the city of Staunton only has one
high school, it seems that the name of
the city is appropriate.
24401 Janet Belknap Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Francis Collins high school
Francis Collins is a Staunton native who
has done wonderful things for the
community and science.
24401 Traeshaun Bell Queen City High School Lee high
I like queen city better than the other
names
24401 Natalie Bell
Hope or Courage High
School.
I think both of these words are positive,
not based off of a person and these are
things we want our students to
emulate as they go through school and
gain their independence and education.
22980 Dennis Bell
Alphonso Hamilton High
School !st black asst. principal after intergration
24401 Don Bell Staunton High School Least offensive to those sensitive
22901 william Bell Staunton High School
That is the original name prior to being
renamed for R.E. Lee
24401 Don Bell Staunton High School
It’s neutral and should not offend any
sensitive people on either side of the
debate
24401 Nashay Bell Queen City High School It's a different name
22903 Betsy Bell Staunton High School It represents the community
24401 Brendan Bell Staunton High School Obama High it the right thing to do
22920 Richard Bell Staunton High School
Staunton High Scholl was the name
before R.E. Lee High School was built in
1926.
24401 Dale Bell Jr Robert E Lee High School
Because that is the name it has been
the whole time I have been alive and
changing it the other name is not rite
because of what other people thing
544 Lauren Bellvedeau Queen City High School
I feel like Queen City is appropriate but
allows for more life to in the name.
24401 Courtney Bengele Queen City High School Queen City High School GO ROYALS
24401 Courtney Bengele Queen City High School Robert E Lee High School It sounded the coolest I guess
24401 Christopher Benjamin Staunton High School Previously named Staunton High School
24401 Frances Benjamin Staunton High School
We are all Stauntonians and this name
should unite us. And, as our sports
teams etc. travel around the state,
others in Virginia will learn how to
pronounce our city's name!
22980 Joel Benjamin Queen City High School Its unique
24401 Jenna Bennett Mike Guertler High School
He is the one man in this community
who cares about every single child. He
is an amazing role model to all.
24401 Louis Bennett Queen City High School Staunton High School Valley High School They are all fitting names
24401 Kayla Bennett Queen City High School Because it fits and I am a student here.
24401 Lillian Bennett Staunton High School Staunton City High School Because this is Staunton, VA. Simple.
24401 Haylee Bennett Queen City High School It's a nice name
24477 Lori Bennett Queen City High School Queen City is Staunton.
22939 Amber Benson Staunton High School
This is the original name of the school
and what it should be reverted to.
24441 Brittany Benting Staunton High School
Robert E. lee. Y'all fucking
dumb
It's the original name of the school. But
no everyone says it's racist. How long
has that school been named that?
Without anything being said.
24401 Sophia Beratta Queen City High School Nah It’s inclusive! And it sounds very regal.
24401 Ashley Berger Staunton High School After the city
24401 Jessica Bergh Staunton High School N/A
Simply because it's the name of our
beloved city
24401 David Berman Staunton High School
It honors the town and doesn’t offend
anyone.
24401 David Berman Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
I think names should suggest the
geographical location.
24401 Peter Bernard Queen City High School .
It is an appropriate name for the
“Queen city.” It is inclusive and thought
provoking.
24401 Samuel Bernard Queen City High School Staunton High School
These names both sound good and are
appropriately descriptive of the school.
The optiond with the word
'Shenandoah' are not bad choices
either but they are not as unique
sounding and are a bit vague given that
the valley is much bigger than the
school district.
24401 Heather Bernard Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Staunton High School
I will be happy with any name that is
inclusive. I prefer Queen City because I
think it's more distinctive and we can
continue to build on Staunton's
nickname in that way - plus the mascot
can be The Monarchs! I like Staunton
Highschool because it's very neutral
and low key. I also like Shenendoah for
the same reason.
24401 Cece Bernard Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Staunton High School Booker T. Washington
I feel like changing the name to Booker
T. Washington would go a long way in
healing the rift in our society by
acknowledging that the roots of our
school include not only Robert E lee,
but also Booker T. Washington as well.
Lee has had credit for long enough, it's
time to remember other nobler people.
24401 Liz Bernardo Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
They deal with the location, which I feel
is much clearer than naming schools
after a person (any person, regardless
of impact, etc.)
24401 Tosha Berry Queen City High School Still unique and sounds upstanding
24401 Jerry Berry Staunton High School
quickly points out where, who we are
and is all inclusive.
24401 Heather Berry Staunton High School
The City of Staunton is something that
every student who attends the high
school has in common. It is a name that
is inclusive of all students.
24401 Stephanie Berry Queen City High School Fits the town
24401 Colby Berry Staunton High School Robert e lee high school
They are suitable names for a
highschool.
24477 lexi berry Queen City High School it’s not plain
Sarah Beth Queen City High School Yea
24401 Raven Beverage Queen City High School
I think reverting back to Staunton High
School is pointless. But I still think the
name should represent the community.
And we are the Queen City, so I think
that’s a perfect name.
24421 Triska Beverage Queen City High School Staunton High School
Staunton is nicknamed “The Queen
City”. That name gives a a sense of
pride. I believe that the students and
community need a name that they can
be proud of. Queen City Royals....has a
very nice ring to it!
98027 Cody Beverly Shenandoah Valley High School It's not robert e lee
22827 Brooke Bevington Robert E. Lee High School
There will be way too much money
spent on this name change when it
could be used for way more important
things, like children’s lunches or
supplies, or god forbid we pay the
teachers a little more.
22980 Sharon Bibb Robert E Lee High School
Im a Robert E LEE High School graduate
and the reason for changing the name
is ridiculous and a WASTE of money.
Changing the name of a building wont
change someones heart!!!!
24401 Tracy Biel Staunton High School .
It's the city of Staunton. Stay with what
is obvious
24401 Rose Bigelow Shenandoah High School Valley High School Anything but Staunton High School
22401 Sam Biggers Staunton High School
Historic name of school, simple, to-the-
point, factual.
24431 Bill Bill Shenandoah Valley High School Dont fucking change it .
22401 Jean Billings Staunton High School R. E. Lee Because it's a good name
24401 Constance Birch Staunton High School
Staunton identifies the school with the
city which is important not only locally
by in media beyond our area, to visitors
and new citizens, on college
applications and other submissions.
The other suggestions: Queen City is
not as widely recognized as Staunton;
there is already a Valley Vo Tech, and a
town and county each named
Shenandoah, which may cause
unnecessary confusion. There should
be no controversy over Staunton as it
refers to place or person except the
long dead Lady Staunton.
24477 Samantha Bird Queen City High School Staunton High School
Shenandoah has been overused as a
way to describe the general area and is
already the name of a university in
Winchester. To make Staunton stand
out as being the progressive City it is, I
think Queen City is very fitting. Thank
you
24401 Samuel Birdzell Queen City High School Ulysses S. Grant High School Both invoke true history of winners.
24401 Wendy Birotte Queen City High School No Its beautiful
24401 Shelley Bishop Staunton High School None
We’re the only HS in Staunton. Don’t
even consider other names-this makes
sense and cannot misinterpreted.
22980 Stephanie Bishopriggs Queen City High School
It should be named after
Paul Hatcher
First i will say that i am upset at the
choice to change it in the first place.
However since it will happen i dont feel
it should be after another well known
military leader or political figure. It
should honor someone who has been
a positive piece to the school itself. And
who better than Paul Hatcher
24401 None Bizness R E Lee High School
you don’t have the money to rebrand
everything
666 Nunya Biznus Schoolie McSchoolface Because.
24401 Susan Black Staunton High School
It is the only high school in Staunton
and it lets all Stauntonians show pride
for our city.
24435 Meredith Black Queen City High School
Queen City says where the school is.
There are many schools in the
Shenandoah Valley.
24401 Joel Black Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Augusta High School
County name, unique city nickname,
tells about the area we live in
24401 Ashley Black Staunton High School
I like the original name, other area
schools have their town name as high
school name (ex. Waynesboro high
school, Harrisonburg high school, etc)
24401 Diana Black Staunton High School Inclusive and descriptive
24401 Andrew Black Queen City High School Schooly McSchoolface
Queen City HS would stand out in the
area, and could provide the
opportunities for multiple possible
mascot changes.
24401 Chris Black Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School
Martin Luther king jr high
school
Queen city is our namesake. Svhs
would be the only name like it for such
an area. MLKHS would be a real stick in
the craw for anyone who thinks we
should name memorials after traitors
and slave owners.
24401 Faye Blacka Staunton High School Robert E Lee
It shouldn’t be changed. Ask the
taxpayers!

Historical persons from Staunton with
fun names
24401 Julie Blackwell Robert E. Lee High School
Leave the name alone. Wasting money
on a stupid name change that you
could be using that money for
something else. How about y’all make
everyone who voted for the name
change to pay for it then?
24401 Linda Blackwell

22980 anthony blackwell Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Valley High School Obama high school Because I'm not racist like you
24401 Moriah Blackwell Queen City High School Staunton High School Sounds better .
24401 Don Blair R.E. Lee High School
this a waste of taxpayer time and
money
24441 Crystal Blakeney Shenandoah High School Staunton High School Don't have one They're unique but succinct
24401 Caitlin Blanchard Staunton High School
It simply states what it is, and is clearer
than the ones with Shenandoah in it
since that’s another place nearby.
22560 Don Blanton Staunton High School
A location-based name is both specific
and unlikely to be changed again at a
later time.
22980 Moyshe "Moe" Blatt Staunton High School Bingham High School

33801 Maggie Blehm Staunton High School
Before it became Robert E Lee High
School, it was Staunton. So if it’s going
to be changed, just change it back to
the original.
22401 K Blevins Stonewall Jackson

22801 Gretchen Blincoe Queen City High School
I think it will help with local pride, and
is a better reflection of the Staunton
community
24401 Michelle Block Queen City High School Staunton High School
Queen City (1st choice) and Staunton
(2nd choice) are about the city, not the
valley as a whole.
24401 Jacque Blundell Staunton High School Stick with tradition!
24401 Malcolm Blundell Staunton High School
Tradition! It was the original name of
the city high school.
22401 jim bob Stonewall Jackson The name should have stayed the same
24482 Todd Bobak Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Accurately represents our area.
24401 Ellen Boden Queen City High School Staunton High School Ruth Bader Ginsburg HS They're all Classy
24401 Will Bodkin Staunton High School It's where we live
24401 Siobhan Bodkin Staunton High School Staunton is the city we live in.
24401 Richard Bolstein Queen City High School Staunton High School
Staunton HS was the original name,
identifies with the City and is
compatible with neighboring cities and
towns. But Queen City HS is original,
also identifies with our nickname and
most important, it is not the name of
any person. So, Queen City HS is my
first choice. Thank you to the four
board members who gave eloquent
and well thought out reasons for
changing the name.
22801 Jennifer Bolt Staunton High School
It’s part of the current seal - that name
is part of the school’s earlier history
24486 Ryan Bonos Donald Trump High School Better than prior suggestions
24401 Cory Booker Staunton High School Robert E. Lee High School I am Spartacus!
24401 Cynthia Booth ROBERT E. LEE
Because that it the name it should be!!
It us rediculous to change the name!!
Too much money spent when it could
be used for something that would
benefit the students!!!!
24401 Seairra Booth Queen City High School Staunton High School
Because this is all bullshit crap and they
seemed like the most okay ones
24401 Carol Borrell Staunton High School
It's a neutral name that plainly
describes the city it services and would
not be confusing to anyone from
outside the city.
24401 Andra Borrell Staunton High School It was that name formerly.
78745 Blair Bosserman Queen City High School
As a former R.E Lee graduate, I’ve
always treasured our queen city nick
name!
24401 chris bosserman Staunton High School
Despite the fact I don't feel it needs to
be changed and there are way bigger
issues in the school to address, focus
on and spend money on, Staunton High
School is most appropriate.
24401 Lorraine Bosserman John Lewis High School Important in Staunton's history
24401 Tina Bosserman Staunton High School
Lee High School -I know it
has no chance because "the
school board said so", but it
doesn't have to be reflective
of Robert E Lee
Zero creativity with other names and
actually redundant with Shenandoah
Valley Gov School and Valley Vo-Tech
in Fishersville already. At least
Staunton High School is consistent
witht other local High Schools
(Waynesboro High, Harrisonburg High,
Riverheads High) Will be the laughing
stock of area even more than we
currently are with Queen City
High..Every one of my current co-
workers already making fun of this
entire situation and commenting on
what a joke this has been..don't make
worse for kids, teachers and families.
24401 Ryan Bosserman Queen City High School Its different from the regular city
24401 Ann Bosserman Lee High School Reputation, history and tradition
24401 Briana Bosserman Staunton High School
It's how it should have remained in the
first place
24401 Ronnie Bosserman Staunton High School Nope
It's simple and shouldn't touch
anyone's sensitive side
22554 Rosa Bosserman Leave it as it is
I graduated from there-the name was
fine then and it still is !
24401 Trisa Bosserman Shenandoah High School It represents the Shenandoah
24401 Rod Bostic HUNTER TALBOTT H.S.
He was a dedicated teacher for decades
in Staunton
24401 Kathy Botkin John Lewis high school
Original name of the building as a
junior hs and founding father of
Staunton
24437 Suzanne Botkin Staunton High School
The school is located in Staunton;
therefore, the name should default
back to that.
Crystal Botkin Lee high school
Because you can change the name that
it'll always B Robert E Lee High School
24401 Tyler Bouthillier Statler High School
Named after the Statler Brothers, who
brought legacy to Staunton.
24401 Morgan Boward Robert E. Lee High School
I chose that name because it should not
even be changed. Erasing the past will
not help anything, but will allow history
to repeat it's self.
24477 Melissa Bower Queen City High School What name I like
90210 Kayly Bower Schooly McSchoolFace It's the most fitting.
24401 Zach Bowles Paul Hatcher High School Because he was great
24401 Cheryl Bowling Queen City High School i like it
24401 Emily Bowling Queen City High School Nice ring to it
24477 Danielle Bowman Staunton High School
It is the most logical and not too
generic. Many other local high schools
would qualify as Shenandoah, Valley
etc. Also, using the town's nickname to
name the high school is ridiculous.
24477 Mark Bowman Queen City High School
Staunton has a rich history, worth
celebrating. So, too, did Robert E Lee
and he was celebrated long enough. I'd
only wish that there would always be
reference to those of us proud Leemen
who preceded the change in name.
Tradition, Ambition, and Pride are the
cornerstone of the high school in
Staunton, regardless the name.
24401 Arlynda Boyer Queen City High School Staunton High School
Booker T. Washington High
School
Staunton and Queen City because
they're accurate and local; Booker T.
(my suggestion) because it was *also*
the name of a local school named for a
historic figure, but one that no local
whites were heated up about saving. As
one citizen asked at the hearing,
"whose history? whose nostalgia?" are
we preserving here?
24401 Sarah Boyett Queen City High School Robert E Lee High School
Because its the original name and we
should be spending the money on
better things such as technology or
anything to hepp advamce our
education but instead you want to
spend thousands of dollars changing a
name.
27615 Todd Boyle Valley High School
Mainly due to Robert E Lee not being
an option
24401 Tanner Boyle Staunton High School Makes the most sense
24401 John Boyles Staunton High School John Lewis High School
Staunton High School is a good name
which brings the community together
as one. John Lewis High School invokes
the historic nature of the area.
24401 Zack Boyles Staunton High School Francis Collins High School
I believe that Staunton High School is a
neutral name that represents who our
city literally. Many schools are named
for the area they are a part of, so I feel
like this would be the best option. I also
believe that Francis Collins is the most
famous person to my knowledge that
graduated form Lee. From what I have
heard, he is a repectful man who also
happened to be very successful and at
one time serve under one of our
presidents.
24401 Alexa Boyles Staunton High School John Lewis High School
John Lewis was the founder of
Staunton. . Naming the school “Lewis”
high school might be a good
compromise of keeping some of the
heritage some older residents cling to
while also promoting a more inclusive
school dynamic. If that name isn’t
considered, however, I think Staunton
High School would be the best choice
because it would be restoring the high
school to its original name.
24401 Michele Brackman Queen City High School
It is the best out of the choices. I would
love to keep it Lee High if all possible.
24401 jenna brackman Queen City High School queen city i like it
24401 TONYA Brackman Queen City High School United High School
We need peace and it has to start with
our Youth, a United name to Unite
everyone
24401 Angela Brady Staunton High School Staunton Liberty
Hometown name and geared toward

defender of African Americans
24401 Logan Bragg Valley High School King City High School
instead of queen high school i want
king high school
24401 Reba Branch Staunton High School Staunton city high school Because it needs a new name
22980 Michelle Brandt Staunton High School
It *the* high school in Staunton, so that
makes sense. And the others don't
specifically reflect Staunton. There are
other schools in the Shenandoah
Valley, and there are other cities in VA
referred to as "Queen City". Staunton
High School reflects Staunton itself, not
the Valley as a whole.
22939 Chris Branham
Alphonso Hamilton Senior
High School
Mr. Hamilton shaped thousands of
Students at both Lee and Booker T.
Washington I have never heard
someone speak poorly of Mr. Hamilton,
all other schools in Staunton are named
for former administrators. I know
there is a gym at BTW named after him,
but I think this would be more fitting.
24401 Gary Brant Stonewall Jackson History
24401 Erica Brasuel Queen City High School
Its different and unique and it still
incorporates our town
24401 Katlyn Bratton Staunton High School
Almost every local high school is named
for its location. Therefore, it makes the
most sense.
25401 Katharine Bratton taylor Staunton High School It is the high school in Staunton Virginia
24401 Isabelle Braun
Terry Davis Memorial High
School
He is a visionary, who has inspired
many to follow in his foot steps, he has
innovated the internet with his OS
systems and more people of color like
him need to be represented.
Eva Braun Staunton High School 1488 MLK HIGH mlk
24401 Cyndi Braxton Staunton High School
The school is in Staunton for Staunton
students. Any other name will be
confusing as to where it's located. It's
not offensive e to anyone and won't
hurt anyone feelings. Go back to what
it originally was!
24477 Aizha Breckenridge Queen City High School no na
24401 Amaru Breckenridge Staunton High School Bekfast High School
A simple name, goes with the
surrounding areas we are in, I think the
mascot should be an eagle of some sort.
22827 Kelly Breeden Queen City High School No clue
22840 Mickey Breeden Valley High School N/A N/A
24401 Chris Breeden Queen City High School Queen City Royals
Because Staunton used to be called
Queen City and I know it as that.
24401 Madison Breeden Queen City High School Queen City Royals
Queen city used to be what people
called staunton.
24401 David Breighner Shenandoah Valley High School Fuller Because he is the best teacher
24402 Maggie Brenner John Cena High School
John Cena is my hero, and high
schoolers deserve to attend a school
named after such a hero.
24401 Benjamin Brewer Staunton High School
Refers directly to the town in which the
HS is located (unlike the Shenandoah
and Valley combinations). Queen City
sounds too much like a promotional
slogan.
22402 Jack Brickley Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Valley High School Donald J Trump High School
its something to be proud of, and
everyone enjoys pride
30132 Gregory Brickner Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School They reflect the community.
24401 Gavin Briggs Queen City High School Queen City Royals mascot Unique name
24401 Benjamin Briggs Queen City High School Staunton High School
Queen city is a name that sounds very
good, and is a name that actually
means something to the city. It’s a
name that shows who we are, without
the classic, not to mention boring,
name of “Staunton High School”
24477 Tim Briggs Queen City High School Staunton High School They sound best to me.
24401 Megan Bright Queen City High School Francis Collins High School
Leader of the Human Genome Project.
Attended Staunton schools.
22812 Silas Bright Queen City High School none It's the most original and best sounding
24459 Stanley Bright Staunton High School No
Staunton High School is the only logical
name. No one outside this area knows
the name Queen City. Using the name
Shenandoah or Valley would imply that
the school was something more than it
is. Simply put; it is Staunton’s high
school.
24401 Natalie Broadnax Queen City High School
We are affectionately known as the
Queen City and I think it’s a suitable
and proud name for the school
24401 Kathy Brobst Staunton High School
It was the original name. “Shenandoah”
and “Valley” describe too large an area,
“Queen City” is just an invitation to be
joked.
24401 Michelle Brock Queen City High School Staunton High School
these reflect an inclusive, welcoming
Staunton community
24401 Kaila Broderick Queen City High School
So we could keep the same colors and
it would be like a name not just a city

24401 Clayton Brooks Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
I like going with the historical name of
staunton high school but think any of
these would be fine.

Staunton High School is inclusive for all

24401 Kim Brooks Valley High School No other options
24401 Thomas Brooks Staunton High School
Staunton high school is a name that
represents the entire city. Rich and
Poor. Black and White. Whether you

we are.
24401 Dwayne Brooks Staunton High School

24401 Jamal Brown Queen City High School lee high sounds better than the others
24401 Evan Brown Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School
Something neutral in scope and related
to the area around us makes more
sense than directly relating the name to
any one particular person.
Marianne Brown Robert E. Lee High School
Because there is nothing wrong with
the name it has.
24401 Jamal Brown Queen City High School Lee High We already had staunton high

The Consitution is what repersents us

open our previousely closed wings and
fly free like birds.
24482 Kevin Brown
It should be a public decision, not a
school board decision.
24401 Alyssa Brown Robert E. Lee High School
There is no reason what so ever to
change this high schools name, and if
you are going to do so you need to get
the residence opinions on it and let
them vote. It’s our kids attending the
school, and we didn’t even get a say.
24401 Abria Brown Queen City High School none idk

24401 Kyiam Brown Queen City High School Booker T. Washington
Queen City has been promoted by a
majority of the kids at R.E. Lee and I’m
for any name that’s inclusive. 2.)
Booker T. Washington has so much
relevance to our city and will make the
aura more welcoming than R.E. Lee was.
24421 Jason Brown Brown Lee High Takes what's offensive out
24401 Ciara Brown Queen City High School Colors can stay the same.
24401 Mary-Faye Browning Staunton High School
If we have to get rid of the old name, I
think we should go with a neutral and
historic name. Queen City,
Shenandoah, and Valley are not unique
to our special town.
24401 Charles Browning ROBERT E. LEE HIGH SCHOOL
I chose this name because Robert E.
Lee may have been a general for the
south but he didn't support slavery also
he was a person who supported
education so we should think about the
good things of him not the bad.
24401 Richard Brownley Queen City High School Great name. Reflects city image better
24401 Chris Bruce R. E. Lee Keep the name
24486 Janette Brunk Queen City High School Staunton High School
I think the city nickname, Queen's City
is nice, and Staunton HS was original.
The both work well.
24401 Damoni Brunson Queen City High School Staunton High School no
I like both of those names because I
think they are just simple names and
not extra kind of names.
24401 Marquis Brunson Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Valley High School N/A

22980 Elizabeth Bryant Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton high school
Cant keep it the way it is so may as well
keep the butt hurt generation happy
and change it right. Forget about
history that irrelevant anymore
24401 Nicholas Bryant Queen City High School Staunton High School Geographically accurate, Staunton pride
24401 Paige Bryant Staunton High School Original name
24401 Irvine Bryant Staunton High School
Makes the most sense. Other high
schools bear the name of the city in
which they are located, so this should
be no different. Keep the Lee mascot
and colors and call them the Generals
to save money
24401 Isom Bryant Queen City High School Queen City High
The Queen City name is original and
different. I believe it represents our
town and the history. Also believe it
makes the school relative to the city.
Plus you cannot say the Queen City
Ducks (ducks because of Gypsy Hill and
the football stadium.) doesn't sound
amazing. Thank you for your
time.Sincerely a former student and
graduate.
24401 Chris Buchanan Shenandoah Valley High School Lee High school
Robert E Lee High School is my first
choice.
24421 Regan Buchanan Queen City High School Staunton High School

22842 Lynn Buchanan Robert E Lee
Because we shouldn't change history.
It's part of the past.
24401 Kay Buchanan Staunton High School
Original name; very clear where it’s
located
24401 Leslie Buchanan Robert E. Lee High School
I believe we need to keep the name - it
should not be changed unless a vote by
all Staunton citizens indicates a
majority want it changed. This is too
important to let 0a small number
decide.
24401 Jack Buck Staunton High School More appropriate option
24401 Jackie Buck Queen City High School Paul Hatcher High
I don’t think it should be changed but
myself along with many other Lee
graduates and future graduates don’t
get a say.
27615 Jessica Buddenbaum Queen City High School Staunton High School Obama high
24401 Marsha Buehner Staunton High School
It used to be Staunton High School, so
at least there is some history involved
in that name choice.
24401 Katelyn Bugden Staunton High School Because it’s in Staunton
24401 Olivia Bullock Queen City High School It’s the best name ever
24401 Amanda Bunch Staunton High School None!!!
Staunton High School is about as
standard and simple as it gets. It will be
an issue no matter what name it
happens to be changed to. Good luck!
24401 serenity bunch Queen City High School it soudns good
24401 Serenity Bunch Queen City High School Paul Hatcher Highschool Suits staunton
24401 Tyler Burch Staunton High School Francis Collins High School
I think Staunton High School would suit
the school well and be uncontroversial.
I also think Francis Collins is a Staunton
native we can actually be proud of and
would be worthy of having a school
named after him.
22601 Glenn Burdick Kenneth B. Frank High School
Mr. Frank, former superintendent, was
chiefly responsible for moving Lee High
to its current location from its former
site near Gypsy Hill Park. It was a
difficult political decision as many
favored leaving the school at its original
site, despite many physical limitations
of that site and the cost of renovating
the building. Mr. Frank's consolidation
of the two junior high schools and
converting the Lewis Jr. High into a
"new" Lee High proved to be a wise
decision. Two other city schools are
named for former superintendents:
Shelburne Middle and Thomas
McSwain Elementary. I can think of no
one more deserving. I urge you to
name your high school Kenneth B.
Frank High School.
24401 Kelly Burdick Queen City High School Staunton High School Endeavor High School
I chose Staunton High and Queen City
High because they are the accurate,
specific, and should stand the test of
time. Please do not choose a person to
name the school after, they almost
never hold up. A descriptive name, like
"Endeavor High School" could also
work. It is aspirational, both current
and forward looking.
24401 Sally Burger Staunton High School
This name is Staunton-specific & is not
controversial.
23451 Maggie Burke Staunton High School T.J. Collins or Francis Collins 1. Old name and 2,3. Local History
24401 Kitty Burke Queen City High School Staunton High School
Accurate representation of the

He graduated from Lee and worked on
the Human Genome Project
24401 Judah Burkholder Queen City High School Staunton High School no other suggestions
queen city high sounds good and
Staunton high I like too.
24401 Samuel Burkholder Queen City High School It is a good fit
24401 Addison Burkholder Queen City High School
It goes well with Staunton city and is
interesting rather than naming it
“Staunton city high school” if were the
Queen City royals royals it allows us to
keep the color blue as well
24401 Travis Burner Robert E Lee High School
I graduated from this school over 10
years ago as well as many people in my
family and I think it is absolutely absurd
to change the name of a high school
that has been around for over a
hundred years.
24401 James Burnett Staunton High School
Restore the name to the original! Stay
awesome! -Jim Burnett
24401 Bree Burnett Staunton High School It should return to what it once was
24401 Sara Burnette Queen City High School Staunton High School
Queen City and Staunton High are
accurate description of the area.
24401 Kaila Burns Queen City High School Queen City High School
The other names are either already in
use by surrounding counties or have
been used before. Staunton is proud to
be called Queen City so I think that we
should use the name Queen City High
School. The name is also unbiased, and
pleasant. The name will also age well
throughout the years and will likely
never be changed again, saving tax
payer dollars from having to ever
change the name again.
24401 Jessica Burns Queen City High School
To represent our town and the history
of staunton
24401 Kristie Burns Staunton High School

Staunton Booker Lee High
School
There is a Staunton River High School in
Moneta, VA. Staunton Booker Lee High
School is a joining of the names of the
former black & white high schools. I've
lived in Staunton for 25 yrs. I grew up
in Waynesboro. My 2 children went to
Lee. If we lose the name Lee, all
together, we lose our identity.
24401 Jessica Burns Queen City High School
It represents our city and
the history of our town
It represents our city and the history of

24401 Kieya Burns Queen City High School Kieya I think it fits this area very well.
24401 Tay Burress Queen City High School
it would fit the school very, and people
would take great pride in having such a
unique name
24401 George Bush
Benjamin A. Shapiro
Institute for Manlet
Education Good name
22408 Virginia Bushman Staunton High School
Could you name it after the
first superintendent? That
way you honor a person
who had a vested interest in
the education of the citizens
of Staunton. Not majorly in
favor of the change due to
the expense involved. I also
see it as a part of history and
Lee was an amazing
Virginian.
I am an educator and advocate
supporting the education of Staunton’s
citizens.
24401 Daniel Bussiere Staunton High School
Should have kept the old
name.
Keep the colors. Dont change
everything to appease a few. This
whole thing is a joke.
24401 Lou Ann Bussiere Staunton High School
Let it be Staunton High. Queen City
should not be on the survey. Queen
City is named after Lady Rebecca
Staunton the wife of VA Governor.
They too were slave owners so, it
would be political incorrect to name
the school after a female slave owner.
When it comes down to things being
named after slave owners this has
opened my eyes that the city of
Staunton should be renamed bc it
offends me & others knowing Rebecca
Staunton was a slave owner.
24401 Tyler Bussiere Staunton High School
Keep the blue and white
colors Queen city is equally if not more racist
24401 Adrienne Butler Queen City High School
I think it uniquely represents the place
we live.
24477 Patricia Butler LEE HIGH SCHOOL
I am part of the class of 1979. It's crazy
to change a name that has been that
since before 1950. The name doesn't
change history. Leave it alone.
24401 Brian Butler Staunton High School Lee
Doesn’t matter what we say y’all have
already decided what it will be. Hope it

24401 Kara Butler Queen City High School Staunton is the Queen City

24401 Sarah Butterfield Staunton High School
I would like to see the

24401 Poopy Butthead Donald J. Trump Highschool Donald Godking
24430 Arch Buzzard Queen City High School N/A
Because it’s the nickname of Staunton
and it’s neutral. The school could go by
Queen City Royals for sports teams and
what not
24401 Tom Byerly Staunton High School N/A
The school is located in Staunton. It
represents the city.
22939 Mary Byram Queen City High School

22980 Erica Cacciapaglia Staunton High School N/a
At least keep some form of history in
the school’s name
24401 Anna Cahill Staunton High School
Staunton High School makes the most
sense because like many other high
schools in the area, the name is based
directly on the location of the school.
24401 Conor Cahill Queen City High School Unique
24401 Steve Cahill Staunton High School
It's the name of the town that it is in,
not a nick name.
24401 Jacob Call Queen City High School

24421 Ellen Campbell Robert E Lee Because the others offended me.
24401 William Campbell Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Staunton High School!
Staunton High School was the school’s
original name, and is more inclusive of
the city’s diverse population than the
racist Robert E. Lee High School.

24401 Otis Campbell Staunton High School Gen. Robert E. Lee High
Lee is a historical figure, if you don't
like the countries history both good

country.
24421 Ashley Campbell Queen City High School Staunton High School Paul Hatcher High School
Queen City and Staunton High are
more unique to Staunton
24401 Adam Campbell Staunton High School
Name should represent the locality
(geography based).
24477 Sarah Campbell Staunton High School No They are located in Staunton
24401 Karla Campbell Queen City High School
Because Queen City is another name
for Staunton and if we’re the Queen
City royals we can keep our royal blue
color.
24482 Kevin Campbell Donald J Trump high school Current president and maga
22980 Amy Campbell Queen City High School We are the queen city
24401 Amanda Campbell Staunton High School
Staunton High School is simple,
noncontroversial, and reflects the city
in which we all chose to live.
24401 Natalie Campbell Queen City High School Staunton High School
Sounded the best, when I think of
valley high school I feel like that should
be in the county. Staunton tells you
where it’s at and hopefully the city
name won’t change so this issue won’t
cost the tax payers money ever again.
24401 Heather Campbell Staunton High School
If it can't be Lee, Staunton seems the
most fit. We are from Staunton and it
would match local schools, ie
Waynesboro High, etc
24421 Fay Campbell Valley High School Robert E Lee High School It Hurts to have it changed
24401 Becca Campbell Queen City High School Staunton High School Valley High School They have a good ring to it
24440 Alyssa Cannaday Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School
The other options sounded awkward.
The ones I selected seemed better for
rolling off the tongue and remembering
it.
24401 Cass Cannon Staunton High School Valley High School
It is simple and true to our location and
it restores the original. Memorial
names are generally an easy, short-
term "solution" that can lead to
problems later on.
Marc Cantrell Queen City High School Valley high school Because it’s cool
24401 Francesco Canu Queen City High School Abraham Lincoln High School The least worst of all
24401 Peyton Caplette Valley High School
I picked Valley High School because its
a name that will fit everyone.
24401 Margaret Carbajal Queen City High School
It kinda leaves controversial people out
of it (KINDA) and it has a nice ring to it.
It sounds like something I'd be proud to
be a part of, and the mascot definitely
has more potential than a "Leeman."
24401 Karen Card Staunton High School
It is the name of the wonderful city of
Staunton and is the only high school in
Staunton.
24401 Thomas Cardarella Queen City High School Staunton High School

choice, Staunton HS Personal preference
24401 Leighton Carruth Shenandoah High School Staunton High School
My top choice is Staunton HS because
it represents our town, a place to be
proud of, and everyone who lives here.
24401 Virginia Carter Queen City High School Robert E. Lee High School
The only one that can have an
acceptable school mascot.
24401 Lorien Carter Staunton High School
Staunton High is the most identifiable
name - all others are confusing and do
not hold meaning for the town.
24401 Sarah Carter Queen City High School
I chose this name because it represents
what Staunton is, and it doesn't sound
basic. If you think about it, most of the
other city's are just named after the
place they live in, and not something
specific to their town.
24401 Nick Carter Robert E. Lee High School
My reason is that the school name
should not change.
24401 Laura Carter Queen City High School Staunton High School
Respectively represents
Stanton,Virginia high school for ALL.
24401 Tabitha Carter Queen City High School Lee High School
It would be an easier transition for the
name as so many changes would and
will have to be made If its drastically
changed
24401 Jasmynne Carter Queen City High School Shenandoah High School
I think those names sound good and
will give a positive start to the school
24477 Cody Carter Queen City High School Francis Collins High School
Went to school there and was Director
of the National Institutes of Health
24485 Angus Carter Queen City High School Francis Collins High
Francis Collins is not only a native
Stauntonian but a world renowned
scientist. Naming the school after him
would not only honor a Staunton
resident but help foster a love of
science in the students. It's a name we
can all be proud of! *this survey keeps
giving me a error message when just
trying to write in a name, that should
be fixed.
24401 Mary Carter Queen City High School
Queen City High represents the
remaining and new students as a whole
and just seems like a great move
forward.
23139 Teresa Carver Robert E Lee High School
Erasing Confederate names needs to
STOP!
24401 Emily Carwell Queen City High School
I just think this name sounds better
than any of the other names.
34285 Jonathan Case Staunton High School School resides in Staunton
24486 Jessica Case Lee high school
I went to lee, most athletic items
already say "Lee high". Drop the Robert
e. The man opposed slavery so your
reason for changing the name is invalid.
Check your history books
24482 Crystal Case Staunton High School Blue ridge high school
Non of the ones listed were that great.
But if your going to change the name of
my Alma mater, then you should
change the name of anything in
Staunton that is named after someone
historical. Be consistent, not selective.
24401 Jeffrey Casey Queen City High School Staunton High School nothing nothing
24459 Misty Cash Lee High School
No matter what this will always be
FAMLEE!
24401 Amy Cash TJ Collins HS
Fellow former Stauntonian who is
doing amazing things in science!
24477 Ray Cash Robert E Lee High School Because we didn't get to vote on it.
24401 Patrick Cash Shenandoah High School Appalachian High School Appalachian Mtns. in the area.
24401 Paula Cash
Dr. Francis Collins High
School
Dr. Collins has accomplished great
things for all people through his work
on the Human Genome Project. Many
new medical treatments that target
specific diseases or risk factors for
disease have been developed and
discovered to aid the medical
community in treating and curing many
aliments that were not possible before
his work.
22980 Trevor Cash Staunton High School Staunton High School
The school was originally Staunton High
School. It’s the name of the city. It’s
really an easy concept that many
people will get behind. Staunton High
School will be the only option to not a
giant split
24401 Amanda Cashatt Queen City High School Staunton High School
They are self explanitory and
descriptive.
24401 Steven Cashatt Queen City High School
Sheandoah is a town north of
Harrisonburg. That’s just confusing for
people.
24401 Alyssa Cason Staunton High School
I choose Staunton High School because
the high school is in Staunton. My
understanding is that Staunton's high
school was once called Staunton High
School. Many people in the community
already call it Staunton. The youth
sports are called Staunton. Stanton
High school is the only name that
makes sense.
24477 tucker cason robert e lee high
because people just want a reason to
complain tell them to suck it up
24401 Serenity Cason Queen City High School It sounds the best
24401 Bruce Cason Paul Hatcher High School
Mr. Hatcher,s name is synonymous
with the school where he worked for so
many years. He is a well know pillar of
our community. His dedication should
be recognized with a grand gesture.
24401 Abigail Cassell Queen City High School Staunton High School
Staunton makes sense because of the
city in which Lee is located. Queen City
has a nice ring to it. The Shenandoah
names could be confused with
Shenandoah county.
24401 Jeremiah Castillo Queen City High School
Because it shows that we as a school
are more like a monarchy.
24401 Ashleigh Castro Queen City High School
Queen City High School embodies the
history of Staunton and is unique.
24477 Shelly Catterton Queen City High School
Its different and what i was thinking to
suggest and you already had
24477 Caitlin Catterton Queen City High School Staunton High School
Staunton high is simple and non-bias in
anyway because it’s literally the name
of the town, by Queen City is more fun
and creative and allows history to show
through the name without it being
named after a confederate general 🙃
24401 Blea Caul Queen City High School Blea Caul Blea Caul
24401 ajablea caul Queen City High School time for change
24401 emysja caul Queen City High School
because there ios a lot of places in
staunton that has the name queen
city’s nit
24401 Suzanne Cecchini Robert E. Lee High School
Stop giving in to everyone offended!
The name is history. Teach it! Because
you can’t change it!
22903 Erik Chadwell Francis Collins High
He is the most accomplished person
from the school and is known
nationally.
24401 Lexie Chadwell Francis Collins High School
All of the options are awful!!! Name the
school after someone noteworthy.
24401 Bree Chambers Staunton High School Lee High School
Calling it just Lee would make the most
sense. Everyone knows it by that name.
Uniforms would have to be changed
and money spent that is unnecessary
24401 Cheryl Chambers Staunton High School Lee High Scool
Keep it Lee but drop the association of
Robert E.
Dennis Chan Staunton High School Simple
22980 emalee chandler Queen City High School bc it’s queen city
94305 Doug Chandler Robert E. Lee
The expense of changing the name is
ridiculous. The school board are idiots.
24401 Chase Chandler Queen City High School Staunton High School Location based - all inclusive.
24401 Frankie Chandler Staunton High School
Ronald W. Reagan High
School
Staunton High school fits and won’t
offend anyone. Ronald Reagan High
because he was a great American, he
loved the country, and he was great
president. Albeit there was nothing
wrong with Lee high.
24401 Adam Chang
Terry Davis Memorial High
School
He's a programmer of color who has
ended his life early before he could
make his dream come true of being a
major programmer, I would like this to
be the name too inspire all people of
color as well as bring awareness to
mental health and inspire more people
of color to enter STEM.
24401 Dont Change Valley High School Dont do it Remember history
24401 Dawn Chaplin Queen City High School Nice ring to it
24401 Manny Chapman Queen City High School Staunton High School
I chose this name because I feel it
represent the downtown Staunton.
24441 Daniel Chapman
There's no sense in spending tax payer
money to rename the school!
24401 Ray Charles Donald J. Trump High School
Donald Trump saved me from getting
mugged.
24401 Jess Charnov Staunton High School That's what it was named before...
24401 robert chastain "no name change" because I pay the taxes here.
24401 linda chastain should remain Robert E Lee
24401 Nicole Chelgren Queen City High School Lee High School
It makes the most sense with re-
branding and its what the students
want.
22801 Laura Chew Queen City High School Unity High School
I think in these times a message of
unity would be nice.
24401 Bree Childress Valley High School Valley high school has a nice ring to it
24401 Jason Childs Francis Collins High School
I'd prefer the school be named for a
local figure who represents academic
achievement, advancement of
knowledge, and significant
contributions to humanity.
24401 Faith Chipps Queen City High School Staunton High School
I like Queen City and
Staunton High School.
Queen City High School sounds cool
and says something about our history.
And Staunton High School is simple and
makes sense just because its our city
we live in.
24401 Jay Chisley Queen City High School none
It just sounds good sense we gotta
change the name
24401 Daytyia Chisley Queen City High School
I think this sounds really good as a
school and its everyehere around
staunton.
24401 Rick Chittum Staunton High School It’s the best description.
22401 Chris Chris
General Thomas J Stonewall
Jackson HS
Only right. Remove one great, replace
w another.
24401 Bill Christ T.J. Collins High School
His designs helped to build this city and
100 years later his work is still
marveled. Not to mention his firm
lasted over a hundred years with his
sons and grandsons running it.
24401 Rachel Christian Queen City High School Because I like the sound of it
24401 Mary Church Queen City High School Staunton High School Valley High School They represent the area
24401 Lynne Cimino Staunton High School Francis Collins High School
Celebrated Staunton native and Lee
alumnis lauded for his Gnome research.
Tired Citizen Staunton High School Staunton Sell Outs
You are only changing the name
because you are afraid of political
image. This is shameful.
24401 Pat Claffey Shenandoah Valley High School John Lewis High School
John Lewis- to restore that building
back to it's original name. Shenandoah
Valley High - it is generic enough to
hopefully not hurt anyone while at
least acknowledging what area of the
state it is in.
24401 Steven Claiborne Staunton High School Staunton City high school It the best choice
24401 brayden clark Queen City High School staunton city high cause our city
24401 Lee Clark Shenandoah High School
Shenandoah Valley
Prepatory Academy
Names that can represent the entire
community
22849 Gabrielle Clark
Robert e Lee . Stop changing
our history you dumb fucks! Stop changing our history
24482 Veronica Clark Staunton High School
I don't feel it should be given a new
name, but rather given back its original
name. And also, it's a neutral name...
Hopefully by doing so, it will cause
fewer disagreements/less resentment
from those who wish to see it remain
R.E. Lee. I see no reason for prolonging
this issue/disagreement by trying to
decide on another person to name it
after. Staunton High School...it just
seems the "fairest" choice for both
sides of the debate.
24401 Gerri Clark Staunton High School Frances Collins HighSchool The first was the original name
24401 Dylan Clark Staunton High School ROBERT E LEE Shouldn't be changed
24401 Amanda Clark Staunton High School none
All other City schools in the area go by
the locality name might as well do same
for Staunton since people are overly
sensitive and we can't keep the one it
has had for decades. You do realize you
can't erase history, right?
22980 Heather Clark Staunton High School Francis Collins High School
A brilliant person who has made such
an impact
24401 Anne Clarke Statler High School Who doesn’t love our Statler Brothers?
24401 Mark Clarke Statler High School
Honored native Representatives of
Staunton.
24401 Jerry Clarke Staunton High School N/A
Best name from limited selection
offered.
24401 Shawn Clatterbaugh Robert E. Lee High School
Because changing the name was the
most ignorant idea that the school
board could’ve possibly voted to pass.
It’s wasting resources and cash flow
that could be spent actually providing
education for students. And myself and
75% of the biting citizens will
remember this when elections for
school board officials come around.
24401 Samantha Clatterbaugh Staunton High School keep it ROBERT E LEE
Cause y’all stupid for changing it.
nobody cares
24401 Kyle Clayville Queen City High School
It sounds like a good name instead of
the other.
24401 Andrew Clem Staunton High School
It's the historic name of the school,
something everyone can agree on.
24401 Catharine Clem Queen City High School Staunton High School none
Queen City HS draws on Staunton's
past as the Queen City and is more
interesting than Staunton HS. It also
gives more character to the school. I
suggest not naming the school for an
individual at this time due to the
contentious times the community has
just been through. Thanks for your
hard work!
24441 Shannon Clem Robert E. Lee
Its always been Robert E.Lee!! That’s
been a part of the valley district for
generations! Plus if you keep it the
same you will save the tax payers a
hefty amount of money for something
that is not needed! Tax payers money
could be used for better purposes (First
Responders/Teacher Raises?). It’s just
waste of money to change name of
school!!!
24401 Dottie Clem Staunton High School
It’s the one I like best if there has to be
a change
24401 Grace Clem Queen City High School John Lewis High School
It sounds much better than “Staunton”
or something. Being interesting with a
nod back to who we are as a city.
24401 Joseph Clem Queen City High School Nope
Keeps Staunton history but isn’t
offensive
24401 Roger Clements Staunton High School Barack Obama High School To honor our first black president
24401 John clemmer Queen City High School Staunton High School
These are the best descriptive names
representing the city’s high school.
24401 Richard Clemmer Queen City High School Might as well be a bunch of queens
24401 Robert Clemmer Queen City High School WE ARE THE QUEEN CITY!!!
24401 Rachel Clemmer Queen City High School Queen City High School
Beautifully represents a part of history
that we all can be proud of.
24401 Joseph Clemmer Staunton High School It's generic.
24401 Casey Clifton Queen City High School Robert E. Lee High School I like it 😊
24482 Meghan Clifton Valley High School Inclusive
24441 Lee Clifton Robert E. Lee high
This name is American history that can
not be erased. Changing the school
name cause some people claim to be
offend is wrong. You all are wrong and
a disgrace to the American people.
24441 Daphne Clifton Staunton High School
KEEP IT THE SAME!!!! WHY
CHANGE IT? WHY TAKE HISTORY AWAY?
24401 Janet Clifton Staunton High School No other
This name eliminates further issue. It
follows the name of the city in which
we live. What dispute can come with
that.
24430 Megan Cline Staunton High School Staunton City High School I just feel like it should be in the city

Shenandoah doesnt naked sense. It isnt
the only high school in the valley.
23663 jeff coffey Shenandoah High School Statler Brothers High School
They are from Staunton and fairly
known to the community.
22980 Ralph Coffey Staunton High School Robert E Lee
There’s nothing wrong with the name
as it is. Bunch of cowards caving into
pressure IDIOTS
24482 Lizz Coffey Queen City High School Lee High Should keep it how it is
24437 Beverley Coffman Staunton High School
It seems to make sense to return to the
original name.
24401 Lindsey Coffman Lee High Good strong name
22980 Kassey Coffman-Lucas Queen City High School Staunton High School
R. E. Lee high school should
remain the name Sounds not as boring as the rest
24401 Devin Cogar Queen City High School
LEE (leaders of excellence
and education) It sounds the best?
24477 Ellie Coggins Staunton High School Former Name of the School
24401 Ralph Cohen Staunton High School
(1) Staunton High was the name of the
high school before the Jim Crow era. (2)
My organization, the American
Shakespeare Center, came into being
partly as a way to spread far and wide
the name of this special place, and I
think that claiming with pride the name
of Staunton for our high school is in the
economic interest of the entire
community.
24401 Rayenel Coiner Staunton High School
I think that our High School should be
named after our city. We live in a
beautiful city and our school should
reflect that.
24401 Micah Coiner Staunton High School Robert E. Lee
there is no reason to change the name
from what it is. focus on making the
education better before focusing on a
useless name change
24401 Jake Colavita Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Valley High School hmh
24401 Sierra Colby Queen City High School Valley High School Gypsy Hill High School Sounds good
22980 Dave Cole Valley High School My opinion
24401 Heather Cole Staunton High School Staunton United High School
It's the name of our town. It makes
sense!
24401 Chuck Cole Staunton High School
Staunton High School directly connects
the school to the city and unless the
city changes its name at some point in
the future rheir will be no disconnect.
The other names offered could be in
any number of communities in the
Valley or are tied to a specific nickname
for the city which could change or fall
out of use.
24401 Ashley Cole Staunton High School Simple and to the point
24401 Piper Cole Queen City High School Lee High School
Because changing the Lee name was
stupid.
24402 Michael Coleman Robert E Lee Because it’s a good name
24401 Moira Coleman Staunton High School
Non-controversial name that denotes
the location of the school in Staunton,
Virginia.
22401 Dylan Coleman Robert E lee Keep the name the same

local hero, pro science, school
graduate, apology to Lacks family
24401 Anthony Colon Queen City High School Sounds the best
24401 Bryce Colson Queen City High School
All of the other names kind of seemed
bland and uninteresting, while Queen
City High School sounds a lot better.
24401 Amelia Coltrane Staunton High School The high school is located in Staunton
24401 Madison Colvin Shenandoah Valley High School
1.Because I like those names and I hate
the thought of even changing the name
in the frist place.
24437 Jake Colvin Robert E. Lee High School
Historical name due to this area being a
huge part of the civil war era. Lee was a
great man. Stop trying to erase history
because a few people are offended
with no logical reason. That is all.
24401 Logan Combee Staunton High School
As I understand Staunton’s history, the
name of the school prior to the 1920’s
was Staunton High School. Even if it
wasn’t, the name is logical and clear.
24401 Jessica Combs Staunton High School Keep it simple
22827 Donald Comer Staunton High School Statler High
22851 Tiffani Comer Robert E. Lee High School
I see nothing wrong with the current
name, and believe it should stay the
same as it always has been.
22827 Gerry Comer Staunton High School Statler High Very prominent group from Staunton
22980 Justin Comer Donald J. Trump High School America's greatest President. #MAGA
22802 Megan Comfort Staunton High School Booker high school G

I don't like the names that I had to vote
on but they sound better than the rest.
24401 Sarah Conder Staunton High School
Bc it cannot claim the valley:too many
other schools in the valley. Its in
staunton
24401 Isabella Conley Queen City High School
The city of Staunton is known for being
called “Queen City” so I think it would
sound nice. Also it sounds like a nice
school when you say it or here it.
24401 Caroline Conlon Queen City High School Staunton High School
Staunton is the actual name of the city
and Queen has a positive connotation
8901 Jonathan Connelly Staunton High School The most fitting
24401 Timothy Conner Valley High School Royal High Not boring
98021 Jeff Conner Jeff Conner Yeet
24401 Meghan Conner Staunton High School Robert e Lee high school
Because it should have to be changed
after all these years!
22980 Amanda Conner Staunton High School Staunton City Public School
To me Waynesboro High school is
basic, if you have to change it Staunton
High school would be the most basic
and make most sense.
22980 Travis Conner Staunton High School Robert E. Lee High School History
24486 Christa Conner Staunton High School Robert E Lee
It should be staying the same not being
changed!!!!
24401 Amy Conner Francis S. Collins High School
Francis Collins is a prominent alumnus
of the high school. He was the leader
on the human genome project which
has led to significant advances in
medical and biologic research. He is
someone students and the community
can look at as a role model. Truly, I
believe he can inspire students by
showing them that even they are going
to a school that helped foster this
leader.
24401 Christopher Connolly LEE HIGH
You wont have to change much, and
most of the alumni call it that anyway.
24467 Janice Converse Staunton High School
It is the original name, it makes the
most sense.
22953 Rachael Coogan Queen City High School
Queen City is another name for
Staunton. It’s perfect.
24401 Michelle Cook Staunton High School Best one
24401 Clark Cook Queen City High School Historically Correct
24401 Tonya Cook Queen City High School Historic.
24401 Taulsa Cook Queen City High School Malcolm lee high
In the end it is only a name and it is the
teachers the students and the
community which seems pretty divided
right now
24401 Hailey Cook Queen City High School Its fits well
24401 Myra Cook Valley High School
Other schools in area named for
location. Staunton High School is not
appropriate as it does not show us
moving forward and Lady Staunton and
her husband also owned slaves.
24482 Paula Cook Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School LEE HIGH SCHOOL
I just think history shouldn't totally be
erased from a High School that started
out with a piece of history attached.
Maybe with just the name Lee High it
would be more of a memory for the
alumni.
24401 Lisa Cook Francis Collins He actually made a difference
24401 Sarah Cooke Staunton High School Back to basics
22664 Jim Cooley Staunton High School United High School We should stand united. Together
24401 Rebecca Coombs Staunton High School Return to the original name.
24401 Adeline Cooper Queen City High School
Queen City High School
Royals
It's sounds more unique than other
schools. Also if are the Queen City High
School Royals or some variation of that
name, we can keep the color scheme,
mascots can be a king and a queen
24401 Zachary Cooper Queen City High School
Has the best sound and represents our
community.
24401 Melissa Cooper Queen City High School
Then they can be the fighting knights,
or the queen's knights.
24401 Faye Cooper Staunton High School
It's historically correct. Plus it is a
simple ID for when our various teams,
whether academic or athletic are from.
24401 Mike Copeland Staunton High School easy
24401 David Copper Staunton High School
None--- I hope the Lee
mural is removed The right thing to do
24401 Michael Corbett J H Talbott High School

Gary Corbett Staunton High School Staunton Only smart name to suit me
24401 Geraldine Corbett Staunton High School Dont like the other options
24401 Jayda Corbin Staunton High School Staunton city
Due to our area, I feel no other name is
related to our school. I feel as if Turning
it to "Staunton high school" would just
make more sense
24401 Dawn Corbin Staunton High School
It is the least controversial and
Shenandoah anything doesn't make
sense to me
22827 Isabella Corbo Queen City High School Queen City encompasses the town
24401 Lisa Corbo Queen City High School Staunton High School
I feel the names represent Staunton's
identity.
24401 Alice Cormier Queen City High School
We should be we the Queen City
Royals!!!!
24401 Larissa Cormier Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School
I think one of the two I picked would be
appropriate
24401 Stefanie Cormier Queen City High School Robert E Lee high school
Im not happy about the name change
but queen city high sounds better out
of the suggested names
24401 Whit Cotter Queen City High School
Its a non-biased name decision and
sounds very unique and well suited
Staunton.

24401 Deven Cox Staunton High School Sonny randle high Played in the nfl former coach
24401 Mary Cox Queen City High School Staunton High School
The Shenandoah names make me
immediately think of Shenandoah
County, not the valley or Staunton. I
think the name should reflect Staunton
itself, the Queen City, and not just our
geographic area.
24401 Brittany Cox Paul Hatcher High
He’s well respected in the community
and he’s built a legacy when it comes to
him working at the school
24401 Markus Coyne Staunton High School Collins No
24401 Keri Coyner Staunton High School
The name of our high school should
match our city. Everyone can cheer for
Staunton!!
24401 Wanda Coyner Queen City High School Francis Collins High School Non Political
24401 Hannah Coyner Staunton High School Valley High School
Because we live in Staunton. You hear
fort defiance high school, waynesboro
high school, Harrisonburg high school,
it just makes sense. But valley high
school also sounds awesome and it
represents us well.
24401 Jack Coyner Queen City High School Francis Collins High School Non Political
24401 Anthony Coyner Staunton High School
Please DO NOT pick Queen
City high It’s the name of our city.
24440 Chip Crabill Staunton City High School
I think it has a ring and flow to the
name, and it is based on location
24401 John Craft Staunton High School It's inclusive.
22980 Robert Craft Valley High School Lewis Creek High School
Lewis Ceek drains all areas of the city
and could serve as a metaphor.
24401 Vickie Craft Staunton High School Lee High School Staunton High School - Staunton, VA
24401 John Craft Staunton High School
It represents the City it serves without
division, which is possible with almost
every other name.
24401 Laura Craft Staunton High School
This name is non controversial, fits well
with the other area high schools, and
stays true to the history and
Stauntonian pride for our city.
22980 Austin Craig Queen City High School good name

24401 Katie Crawford Queen City High School Lee High
I choose Queen City High School
because it’s not political, so it can’t be
considered racist or offensive. It is a
unique name that makes sense because
queen city is another name for
staunton.
22980 Danny Crawford Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Valley High School John Lewis High School Im pissed its bein changed as it is....
24401 Angela Crawford Staunton High School

way back
24401 John Crawford Staunton High School Staunton City High School To restore the real historical name.
24401 Jaida Crawford Queen City High School
Queen City Royals High

I would like it to be this name because
it has more value than Staunton City
High School and I don't want to
graduate with a foolish name on my
certificate.
24401 Cory Crawford Staunton High School
Cynthia Marks Gray High

connotations and it would be a fun
name for a school in this area
24401 Hannah Crider Queen City High School Staunton High School

vague; Queen City and Staunton High
School are both unique, descriptive
names that all students can be proud to
say.
22952 Julia Crist Queen City High School N/a

good names that can represent the
community and to me make the most
sense
24401 Stacy Cumbo Queen City High School It is a new nice name.
22401 Anna Cumbo Queen City High School Queen City
It sounds the best and a completely
new name would be the best
optionbecause it is the least

conflict-free
24401 Mary Cummings Queen City High School Staunton High School X

disappointing actions of the school
board.

change the name after all these years
24401 Jessica Cusson Queen City High School Statler high school Statler brothers

24401 Kyle Damen Staunton High School Robert E Lee It’s in Staunton
24477 Ashley Dameron Queen City High School Staunton High School Lee High School
I did not think the name was offensive
but since it must be changed that
maybe removing the R.E. will make it
less personal and/or offensive. I just
want to say that I am also offended that
the names has to be changed if that
matters.
24401 Randy Dandy
Terry Davis Memorial High

He was a man with a dream to build

city changes their name. I'm happy to
see my old school making this change!

Campbell was a notable, free African
American resident of Staunton, before
Emancipation.
22401 Tom Daniels Karl Marx
Because you school board members
are a bunch of PC pussies
24401 Kristen Daniels Queen City High School Staunton High School They’re the two i like.
22853 Marie Dapper
Petty Huge Waste of
Taxpayer Dollars High School
Because renaming the high school is a
petty, huge waste of funds. You’re
really considering Staunton High Scool?
Perhaps you should read about Lady
Rebecca Staunton and her Husband Sir
William Gooch. They benefited
tremendously from slavery. You can’t
rename everything that bears a stain
from the horrible atrocity that was
slavery. Even if you could, it wouldn’t
erase it from our past. Staunton High
School indeed...you ignorant twats.
24459 Amanda D'Aquino Queen City High School Staunton High School
The names specifically refer to
Staunton. Shenandoah and Valley are
too general.
24401 Amy Darby Queen City High School Staunton High School Schooly McSchool Face Our current name is racist and ignorant
24401 Amy Darby Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Valley High School

Keeps it neutral and lets people know
this high school belongs to the kids of
Staunton
23227 Shelia Davenport Queen City High School Has a nice ring to it.
24401 Bill Davick Staunton High School Seem to make the most sense
24401 Christy Davis Queen City High School
Queen City is fresh and allows a lot
more possible themes to incorporate
than just the name Staunton. For
example, the idea of royals, monarchs,
ruling can be used with logos and
school spirit images. It is also
something totally new--never been
used in the past like Staunton High
School has been.
22801 Chris Davis Queen City High School
Staunton is known as the Queen City,
and this seems appropriate. Broadway
High School was previously known as
Valley High School back in the 30s - so
that's out. Lee was previously known
as Staunton High, so that's been used.
Queen City is original & helps us on
track for a new direction.

To honor the very first people to live
here in the Shenandoah Valley
22980 Mark Davis Robert E Lee Leave history alone
24401 John Davis Staunton High School
Diverse, inclusive, caring &
kind High School.
Because the School Board decided to
change the name regarless of how little
support there actually is for this change.
24401 Lucan Davis Queen City High School It fits us
20002 Corbin Davis Queen City High School
Booker T. Washington and

24401 Tarken Davis Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Valley High School Schooly McSchoolFace It's a fine name for a fine school
22980 Denver Davis Staunton High School
Because it’s Staunton, so Staunton HS
makes the most sense.
24401 Christina Davis Staunton High School I believe it fits best
24401 Eric Davis Robert E Lee High School
Name shouldn’t change because
people don’t know the history of Lee.
Lee was loved by the north and south
during the war.
24401 Valerie Deacon R.E. Lee High School Self explanatory!
22939 Robert Dean Robert E. Lee
It is stupid to spend 200,000 to change
a name.
24401 Parmie Dean Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
Diana Adams High School,
Cora M. Hudson High School
The names don't classify with any race
or religion. It is based on where we live
and who was influential here.
24401 Brian Dean Staunton High School Reflects locality and neutrality
24401 Lacey Dean Staunton High School
I grew up in a town about the size of
Staunton and we had one public high
school that was named for the town.
As a high school student, you
represented your town when you
traveled for sports or school related
activiites. And it enabled the whole
town to feel supportive of the high
school students because of that
identifier.
22840 Bob Dean Robert E Lee High School U cant destroy history
24441 Gary Dean Shenandoah Valley High School Ricky Bobby High School
It's a cultural hero that represents the
people of our area
24471 Mike Dean Robert E Lee
Because it is what it is was and always
will be what it is known by. Just
because you cave in to the trolls doesnt
mean everyone agrees.Study history
before you start making unwise and
useless decisons.
22201 James Dean Shenandoah Valley High School
To all the boys I’ve loved

make the name one for all the students
to carry with pride.
45205 John Deaver Staunton High School John Lewis High School founder of Staunton
22551 Jason DeBadts Valley High School

choice when it is shorter and it is
describing the geography

We already have a great Stonewall

24401 Leisel DeLange Queen City High School Yeet It was the first word I thought of
62040 Larry Dellamàno Staunton High School The name of the town.
24401 Rebecca Dellinger Shenandoah Valley High School Makes sense
24401 Shawn Demond Staunton High School Its a high school and it is in Staunton
23923 Roger DeMuth R. E. LEE HIGH SCHOOL
Lee was a statesman and a patriot, as
well as a well respected historic figure
until IGNORANCE over run the country.
May history remember you for your
ignorance. Talk about offensive, maybe
your names should be removed from
the board, obviously you don't deserve
to be there by making such offensive,
ignorant, un-educated decisions,
apparently you don't know factual
history, and don't teach factual history.
How dare you! Why not change it to
"Carl Marx" or "Joseph Stalin", how
about "Adolf Hitler", who else would
change the name of a school because
they deemed it offensive.
24401 Peter Denbigh Staunton High School
Shenandoah belongs in shenandoah
county, others just dont sound great.
22980 Allan Dennison Stonewall Jackson High Keeping it real
22801 Dave Dennison Staunton High School
Fits with the naming of other area
schools (Harrisonburg, Waynesboro,
etc. - plus it’s apolitical.
24401 DJ DePriest Queen City High School Paul Hatcher High School
Because he was a great basketball
coach and he would be a great fit for
the name
24401 Peter Dering Valley High School Galaxy High School
Valley High School has a good ring to it.
I always wanted to go to Galaxy High
School.
24401 Nickolas DeSimone Queen City High School Staunton High School the original HISTORY
24401 Ilia Desjardins Staunton High School
Simple name. Not sure why we are the
"queen city" (lived here 10 years, still

High-esq names
22980 Doug Desper Staunton High School Robert E. Lee High School
The Staunton name encompasses a
good heritage and should be neutral.
24401 Cathy Desper
Alphonso Hamilton High
School
He is a local educator who is an
amazing gentleman admired by many
who have gone to Staunton schools.
22980 David Desper Staunton High School
If not the above, then
Equality High School
A) Staunton would be generic and non-
confrontational. The teams could be
called the Pioneers or something like
that to represent Staunton's long
history toward teh development of the
country. B) The name Equality could be
used to represent the struggle that was
involved in getting the name change
and the goals associated with that
struggle.
24401 Bill Dew Shenandoah High School Valley High School
Schoolin' Stevie's
Educational Center
Schoolin' Stevie learns 'em like
nobody's business.
24401 Amanda Diaz R.E. Lee high school
That’s the name and that’s what it
should be. It’s unfair to name it
anything other than that. My children
will not attend this school due to this
ridiculous decision.
24401 ALLEN Dice Robert e lee high school It the name of the school now
24401 Hannah Dice Queen City High School It is very classy.

24401 Barry Diduch Staunton High School
Logical; Consistent with current system
(BGHS, WHS, HHS, SDHS, etc.) No need
to get fancy.
24401 Emma Diduch Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
They evoke the place of the high school
while being short and to the point.
24401 Amy Diduch Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
I love the idea of Shenandoah HS (or
Shenandoah Valley HS). I can't believe
it isn't already in use! The name ties
together our distant past (as it is
derived from some unknown Native
American word), our more recent
history (as a place of settlement, as a
place of agricultural productivity) and
our current home. It has recognition
beyond our immediate area: people
from far away know where the
Shenandoah Valley is located. I believe
it is a name that has positive
associations for people. However, I
would have no objections to the choice
of Staunton HS. It follows general
naming conventions and provides the
most useful information: the location
of the school.
24401 Isaac Diehl Queen City High School I like it
24401 Jared Diener Staunton High School Francis Collins High School
Francis Collins is a Staunton native and
alumnus of the high school. As director
of the Human Genome Project and
director of the NIH, he represents the
power of knowledge and education and
is a fantastic reflection on the City of
Staunton.
24401 Camille Dierksheide Staunton High School It was the original name of the school
24431 Dakota Dietrich Schooley mcschoolface Its what the people need
24401 Sarah DiFlorio Staunton High School N/A It’s a logical name
24401 josh DiGennaro Staunton High School . focus on education
24401 Jen Diggs Queen City High School Unique
22980 Latoya Diggs Queen City High School Cynthia Gray High School
I believe Dr. Gray was a very important
piece to the history of Lee High. As a
individual who didn’t attend Lee but
having them as our rivals for many
years; Dr. Gray kept things respectful
and competitive. (Just with her
presence & the stern look she’d give
when the crowd would act up)
24401 Stephen Diggs Queen City High School Sounded best
29440 Terry Dillinger Robert E. Lee High School
I graduated from Robert E. Lee High
School in 1978. I am saddened by the
anger and controversy this issue has
caused in my hometown.
24477 William Dillon Staunton High School
Why call it Shenandoah when we arent
in that county? Call it Staunton and be
done with this
24401 Tyler Dimaggio
Martin Luther King Jr. High
School
You would be changing from the name
of an oppressive warmonger to a
peaceful civil rights activist. Poetic.
24401 Isabella DiMeo Queen City High School
I think it should be Queen City High
School because it used to be the largest
county in the world.
24401 Bella Dimeo Queen City High School Queen City Royals
I like this name over all the other ones
and people used to call Staunton
Queen City
24401 Nicki DiMeo Queen City High School Staunton High School
These names are more fitting since the
school is located in Staunton City.
22939 D Dimotsis Queen City High School Staunton High School Barack Obama High School
Anything but R.E. Lee is better, also
names associated with Staunton,
because after all, it is the city's only
high school.
24401 Keaton Dinkle Queen City High School
Stanton High School is the most boring
and awful name ever. Queen City High
School has so much character in it
while Staunton High School is so bland
and I hate it.
24401 Fuck Dis Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Robert.E.Lee High Schhol
Because slavery ended 153 years ago
and the dumbasses that think a
confederate general is offensive
should've actually paid attention in the
high school rather than trying to knock
up half of staunton. There are multiple
schools with confederate generals'
names. Im offended when people
smeeze in my direction, but im not
going around plugging peoples noses.
Get over the self absorbed entitled
egos, and raise your goddamn children
the right fucking way. Racism wouldnt
be a problem if people would give up
the fact that its a thing. You are
glorifying this and persisting the issue
rather than taking care of it.
24437 Megan Diveley Staunton High School
It makes more sense than any other
suggestion.
24401 Rachel Dixon Queen City High School
Being the Queen City is such a unique
thing Staunton has. Also, royal blue
could still be Lee’s color!
24401 Charlie Dobson
Terry Davis Memorial High
School
Well I chose it because black men are
under represented in school names. so
I think Terry Davis would be a good
addition.
24401 Elizabeth Dod Staunton High School Most fitting
27948 Nancy Dod Robert E. Lee high school Should have never changed it
24401 Anne-Charles Dod Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
Bell Grey High School (for
the two mountains in
Staunton)
They are impartial to politics, and are
helpful in understanding where the
schools are located geographically. The
main reason being that they are
politically neutral.
24401 John Dodge Queen City High School It’s best
Nicole Dodge Robert E. Lee High School
As an alumni of Lee High, I don't think
any vote of this magnitude should be
left to 6 people, 4 of whom were just
elected to the Staunton City School
Board. There is a reason I chose to pull
my children out of the Staunton City
School system to homeschool...and
decisions like this make me that much
happier that I did.
22980 Ollie Dodge Staunton High School None It's plain, inoffensive
24401 Shirley Dodson Queen City High School Staunton High School
Booker T. Washington High,
Francis Collins High,
Francis Collins- human genome project
and lee grad. (Perhaps he could
contribute funds towards a STEM lab at
the school.)
24401 Joseph Dodson Queen City High School Classy, and not offensive
24401 Gary Dodson Stonewall Jackson
Jackson was directly involved in
protecting Staunton from invasion
24440 Jon Doe Robert E. Lee High School
The school is named after a historical
figure. Most associate this man with
slavery. This is incorrect. He freed the
slave he inherited from family and
refused to own any. He was also
offered a role in the Union Army, but
chose to stay loyal to the State of
Virginia instead.
24401 John Doe Staunton High School
It is the most descriptive, yet non-
controverial name and it coexists well
with Harrisonburg and Waynesboro
High Schools.
24401 Jane Doe
Snowflake High/school
colors-rainbow/mascot-
unicorn Any other name will hurt.
24401 destiny dolin Staunton High School
Because the high school is located in
staunton.......
24401 Kwadwo Donkor Staunton High School
Washington and Lee High
School
With the decision to change the name
of the school, the community is very
divided and the hate is very abundant.
I believe that we should unite both
former high schools into one name. It
would be a representation of the
Staunton Community
24401 Len Doran Staunton High School

US
28752 Jacob Douylliez Queen City High School I really like the name.
24401 Jeremy Douylliez Queen City High School
Let's celebrate our Queen City! Also
the chant should be "YASS QUEEN!!"
24401 Cory Douylliez-Willis Queen City High School Female empowerment
24401 John Dove Queen City High School Staunton High School
Naming a school after the location
name just makes sense. Especially
when there is only one high school.
24401 Krystle Dove Staunton Lee High
We reside in Staunton City and we are
Leemen aka FamLee
24401 Danyelle Dovel Queen City High School Staunton High School
Both names pay tribute to the area
without prejudice to any group or
minority.

names close by
24401 David Driver Staunton High School Barak H. Obama High School
Staunton is the birthplace of President
Woodrow Wilson. President banned
African Americans from government
service and the White House.
President Wilson ignored the plight of
African Americans in the south of Jim
Crow, the KKK and lynchings. President
Wilson held a showing of the movie
Birth of a Nation (The Clansman) in the
White House. Honoring President
Obama in the hometown of President
would be a small way of expressing
regret for forcing African American
Stauntonians to leave a high school
named for an outstanding African
American, Booker T. Washington, to
attend a high school named for a
Confederate general who fought to
enslave their ancestors.
24477 Herbert Drumheller Leave as Robert E. Lee
History cannot be changed by changing
a name. History is important so times
are not repeated.
24401 Dan Drumheller Staunton High School
It is the primary High School in
Staunton, so Staunton High Scool
makes sense.
24401 Amber Drumheller Queen City High School Barack Obama high school
Queen city has the best ring to it. I
think everyone would be proud of that
name
24401 Dorsye Duckett Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Blue Ridge High School Mountains
24401 John Dull Staunton High School
The name should reflect the
community it resides in and that it’s
students live in. Staunton High School
is neutral and yet representative of all
this city’s residents.
24401 Carolyn Dull Queen City High School
It is a unique name for a unique city
and would serve the high school well.
We should never again have a school
named for a person to avoid what we
have experienced.
24401 Thomas DuMontier Staunton High School
Simple, middle of the road,
inclusive...and it is the original name of
the high school
24401 Ricard Dunay

24401 Gary Duncan
Simply drop the R.E. and let
it be Lee High School. 200,000 Reasons !!!
24401 Graham Duncan Queen City High School N/a
It’s sounds cooler than just Staunton
high school. It offends no one, and it
represents our city.
24401 Taeghan Duncan Queen City High School N/A
I feel since Staunton is already the
Queen’s City, Queen City High school is
more than appropriate. It also sounds
amazing ans luxurious.
24401 Allison Duncan Queen City High School
it’s cool and we would be able to do a
lot of things with it and it’s beyter than
staunton city high
24401 Chris Duncan Schooly MacSchoolface Cause a name change is stupid !
24401 Phyllis Duncan Staunton High School
Barack H. Obama High
School
To honor the last president with
integrity we had, and, well, how many
decades was it named for a colonizer?
Why not balance the scales a bit?
24401 Samuel Dungan Staunton High School Francis S. Collins High School
Dr. Collins is probably the most
accomplished alumnus of our high
school so far; and is currently the
director of the NIH. He has received the
presidential medal of freedom and
national medal of science. This is
someone who might win a Nobel Prize
at some point. He should be top of the
list for consideration for a new name
for the high school.
24401 Jesse Dungan Staunton High School Francis Collins High School
World famous scientist from Staunton,
head of NIH.
24401 James Dungan Staunton High School Francis Collins High School
Francis Collins is the most distinguished
graduate of the High School as former
head of the Human Genome Project
and current head of the National
Institutes of Health. To have a
internatio known doctor and scientist
as a model for the school would be
inspiring and would give honor to
knowledge and service that is not
based on political or military
accomplishments . Staunton High
School because it is in keeping with
almost all other local high schools and
is the most readily identifiable name for
our local school.
22980 Daniel Dunham Queen City High School Staunton High School
Heather Hyer Memorial High
School
It is the young lady that lost her life in
Charlottesville in the KKK rally recently.
24401 Daniel Dunham Queen City High School Still keeping the vibe of Staunton.

the school colors if we use "royals."
24401 Lorie Dunn Staunton High School N/a
It is located in Staunton, so it makes
sense.
24401 Ryan Dunnagan Staunton High School Valley High School Na Represents the location
22980 Criana Dunnings Staunton High School
All the other school names don’t fit!
Staunton high school is a better fit!
28105 Crystal Dunnings Staunton High School
Most schools in the area named after
the city they are located in.
24477 Jesi Dunnivan Staunton High School
Most of the high schools in the area are
named after their location.
24401 Taylor Dupree Queen City High School
It's different but still a good
representation of the city
22801 Aiden Dupuis Queen City High School
Queen City reminds people of how
Staunton was once the county seat of
the largest country in the world
24401 Cheryl Durrett Queen City High School N/A
There are already Shenandoah schools.
And Queen City High School seems the
most aesthetically pleasing name
especially for branding/marketing
purposes
24401 Charisse Durrette Queen City High School
We are considered the “Queen City”.
Royals or Monarchs could be our
mascot implying that our young
generation are kings and queens and
are going to lead us into the future. I
think it’s a amicable choice choosing no
other historical or present figure above
another.
22151 Kelly Dwyer Shenandoah Valley High School
24401 Tyler Dylan
George Lincoln Rockwell

I think it can speak to many with just
the one name appealing to everyone

name change in the first
place. Nothing
24401 Megan Eakin Staunton High School
Queen City is the Photography place

24401 Randy Earl

Terry Davis struggled with mental
issues to design a ground-breaking

24401 Travis Earley Queen City High School Staunton High School N/A
Queen City because the mascot could
be the royal guard.
24401 Ariel Early Queen City High School Staunton High School NA Queen City High School has a nice ring
24401 Andrea Early Queen City High School Staunton High School
The “Shenandoah” choices make me
think of Shenandoah County. First
choice would be the original name and
I also think that “Queen City” has a nice
ring. The mascot could be the Royals!
Many thanks to the board for your
work on this issue.
24401 Andrew Easley
Booker T. Washington High

There were once 2 high schools in
Staunton, let's name it the other one!
24401 Diana Easley Queen City High School No Staunton is the Queen City!
24477 Tessa Easter Queen City High School N/a
I really think it's an empowering name
to choose.
24482 Nick Eastman Queen City High School Robert E Lee high Sounds cool
22903 Dana Eastman T.J. Collins or Fletcher Collins
Both men are influential in our city,
great role models for everyone. All
other schools in the city are named for
someone important to the city. I am a
1970 graduate of R.E. Lee.
24477 Heather Eavers Staunton High School School is in Staunton
24401 Spencer Eavers Staunton High School
Most representative of our City and
local high school
22821 Ben Eberly Grant -Lee high school For both
24402 Pete Echols Schooly McSchool Face It is culturally significant
24401 Margaret Echols Staunton High School
Most of the other schools in this area
with the exception of two are named
simply after where they’re located.
There are no politics in naming in
Staunton High School. The other ones
just don’t sound “right” to me.
24477 Elaine Echols Staunton High School
It is unique -- there are no other
Staunton's in Virginia
24401 Nathaniel Eckert Queen City High School Paul Hatcher Highschool It has nothing to do with politics
24401 Nathan Eckert Queen City High School Cloyd Rivers High School Bonk gang that’s why
24401 Donnie Eckert Robert E. Lee High School The School Board is a bunch of idiots
24401 Bella Edmunds Queen City High School It’s the coolest one
24401 Owen Edwards Queen City High School Nah School
It actually sounds like a good school
name
24401 Maggie Edwards Staunton High School Accurately describes the school
22980 Julian Edwards Shenandoah Valley High School
Super Robert E. Lee High
School
The original was racially offensive and I
believe this name makes more sense
22980 Carly Edwards Queen City High School
I think it perfectly encapsulates the
school and the city and you could have
fun with the mascots!
25425 Rose Edwards Robert E. Lee High School
History was fought by heroes who died
being heroes. We should remember
and respect them.
24401 Betty Edwards Not My School Now
Graduate of R.E. Lee and find the name
change to be ridiculous. Small minds
lead to exaggerated decisions.
24401 Alexander Efird Alexander Efird High School Named After High School Student
24401 Vickie Einselen Staunton High School
My sons like Queen City
High School. I don't mind
that one either.
Staunton is where my sons were born
and raised. It the name of our town;
we're all citizens of Staunton
specifically. The other names are more
ambiguous. Thanks for allowing us to
state our opinions!
24401 mary elam Queen City High School
Bruce Lee High school (i
would be proud to attend a
school with this title) we are the QUEEN city!!!
24401 Emma Elam Queen City High School
Sounds the best and hopefully can’t
offend anyone
24401 Beth Elcox
To maintain consistancy of the
"Leeman" name in the Academics and
Sports Programs
24401 Alexis Elcox Queen City High School Different
24401 Kim Eldred Queen City High School Staunton High School
If it can’t be Robert E. Lee, I’ll settle for
those two
22980 Nichelle Elijah Staunton High School Because it’s the name of the city
24401 Burt Eller Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Valley High School Roll off the tongue/ pretty
33709 Susan Ellerbrake Robert E Lee High School
R. E. Lee was an honorable man and
true to Virginia. So sad that people are
bowing to the current trend.
24401 Amy Ellinger Staunton High School
Never should have been changed but
best option
24401 Charlotte Ellinger Staunton High School
That was the previous name and is in
line with other high school in other
local cities.
24401 Arlo Ellingsworth Queen City High School Staunton High School
I like Queen City...sounds good, it's
exciting. Staunton High is kind of
innocuous, vanilla
24401 Keith Ellingsworth Queen City High School Staunton High School Francis Collins
The mascot can be the Fighting
Genomes!
24401 Donna Ellingsworth Staunton High School Fletcher Collins High School
I think naming it after an alumni
scientist is inspiring.
22401 jim elliot R.E. Lee. Revisionist shall fail!!!
24401 Ozzy Elliott Queen City High School Queen because i like this name
23117 Chris Elliott Staunton High School
Provides clarity as to school's location
and promotes unity by not using an
affiliation or person's name that would
mean winners or losers in the naming
process. A neutral name will provide
healing and allow moving on. I feel no
public space should be named after a
person because all people are flawed
and subject to controversy, exclusion
and division. A neutral name will
provide an opportunity for inclusion
and school pride for all. The name
would be in line with other area
schools that are identified by city or
county name.
24401 Pat Elliott Queen City High School Staunton High School Valley High School Francis Collins High School Outstanding scientist. Human genome
24401 Jessica Ellis Staunton High School Valley High School

Francis Collins: Staunton native; NIH

24401 Ryan Embry Queen City High School Paul Hatcher High School
Nickname of the city should’ve the
name of the school as well.
24401 Winona Emerson Staunton High School
denotes the town in which the school is
located
22980 Michal Emmert-Hart Queen City High School It sounds unique
24477 John England
Lee high school thats what
everyone refers to it
anyways and lee is a
common name
Easier name cheaper on expenses and
everyone refers to it as lee high any
ways
24401 Allison Entsminger Staunton High School Lee High School
Cost will be less. A lot of current
uniforms already have Lee or Leemen
on them
24401 Karen Eppard Hall Staunton High School Lee High School It is the closest reasonable compromise.
24401 Gene Ergenbright Robert E Lee High School
There is no reason to change the name
because there is no better person for
whom a school is named
24421 Tara Ergenbright Queen City High School
Staunton is the beautiful Queen City &
the high school deserves a name as
beautiful
27519 Mary Erskine Queen City High School Shenandoah High School
Both are more interesting than
Staunton High School
24401 Kayla Eutsler Shenandoah Valley High School
It sounds reasonable for that school
area and school.
22801 Becca Evans Queen City High School
I like Queen City because it reminds me
of why Staunton is a good town, and
what they're known for. Also, the
Royals would be a great mascot.
24401 Bill Evans Adolf Hitler High school
Because, like Robert E Lee, he fought
for the rights of his people against
tyrannical oppresion.
24401 Thomas Evans Queen City High School History

24401 John Evans Queen City High School cute
24401 Emma Evans Queen City High School
Queen City royals would be a
wonderful mascot
24472 Steve Evans
Stonewall Jackson High
School The name should not be changed
24401 Jasmine Evans Queen City High School Staunton High School N/A they are simple
24401 Maggie Evans Staunton High School
I firmly believe the name should
change, and Staunton High School is
descriptive, location appropriate, and
does not carry divisive tones.
80621 Ryan Ewing Staunton High School Robert E. Lee High School
As a graduate, I do not feel the name
should be changed.
24401 Matthew Ezzell Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
I like the idea of reclaiming the original
name of Staunton High School.
24477 Sean F Bruce lee high school Cool
24401 C F Staunton High School previous name - makes most sense
24401 Tanya Faidley Staunton High School
Let’s use the name of our own city to
represent our high school.
24401 Ben Fairfield Staunton High School We are in staunton
24401 Alan Fairfield Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
Most high schools are named for their
location
30005 Emma Fairlie Queen City High School Valley High School Friendship High School They sound the best
24401 Micayla Faria Queen City High School
Its cool and it is more interesting than
staunton high school it fits our city

24401 Mallori Faria Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School
Queen City Royals High
School Queen City is pretty
24401 Ava Farid Queen City High School Queen city highschool
I really like that one but i don't like the
staunton high school one.
24401 Barbara Farley Staunton High School
I think it is the most appropriate to
represent all of the residents of
Staunton, Thank you for letting me
voice my opinion,
24401 Ben Farley Staunton High School
Staunton - Francis S. Collins
High School
I think our high school should identify
us as a community, and Francis Collins
is an esteemed graduate of R.E. Lee
High School. His academic and
intellectual achievements are
substantial, demonstrating to students
that they, too, can achieve great things
with our high school as the foundation.
24401 Jacqueline Farley Staunton High School Booker T Washington
Mr. Hamilton and all his stories about
Booker T Washington. Including that
they could not play Robert E Lee
Highshool in basketball in the day and
had to travel to play because of the
colour of their skin
24401 Allie Farley Queen City High School Staunton High School Valley High School Francis Collins High School
I feel they represent the city of
Staunton and the residents.
24401 Karen Farrar Valley High School Francis Collins High School
He graduated from LEE,lived here and
his family has done a lot for the city. He
also is the head of NHO. Someone to
be proud of and not racial motivated.
24401 Julie Farrell Queen City High School Staunton High School
The reason I chose the two names I did:
Queen City High School is a name
that everyone can be part of.. I love the
thought that our sports teams could
The Monarchs. Both sexes can be
Monarchs, I love that! And Staunton
High School is similar but not as much
fun!
24401 Patience Farris Queen City High School Bruce Lee Highschool
Queen city is more unique, and if the
school board were to go with Bruce
Lee, the highschool students can still be
"Lee men" and the cost might be
cheaper as far as changing the signs
and such.
24401 Cheryl Fauerbach Staunton High School
It’s the most specific and least
controversial. Queen has double
meanings and would be subject to
ridicule.
24401 Eric Fauerbach Staunton High School I like it the best.
24401 Benjamin Faught Queen City High School Staunton High School
Dr. Francis Collins High
School
They all mean something to the city
and Dr. Francis Collins is an alumnus
who went on to achieve immense
success in genetics with his decoding
the human genome and as Director of
the National Institutes on Health.
24401 Jenna Faulkner Queen City High School Statler high school
Shouldn’t have changed the name but
Queen City sounds pretty cool
24401 Diane Feinstein Staunton High School
I AM A LYING BITCH, so don't listen to

24401 Frank Fenneran Staunton High School

Celebrates a local hero and matches

24401 Mike Ferguson Queen City High School Staunton High School They represent Staunton
24401 Francis Ferguson Staunton High School Francis Collins High School
Staunton High because we're in
Staunton, Francis Collins High because
he is a respected Stauntonian

23220 Will Ferrel Ricky Bobby High School If you ain’t first, you’re last.
24401 Cheyenne Ferrier Queen City High School Best represents the city
24401 Marianne Fickling Staunton High School
Since It is th name of out town, it
makes us all one!
24401 Joe Fiechtl Queen City High School
It's something that reflects the city's
heritage while also being a new
beginning as I do not think the name
has been used before.
24401 Kendall Field Queen City High School Represents the city well
24401 April Fielding Shenandoah High School Legacy High School
It joins together the past and the future
for those in the school. Encouraging
those in the entering those walls not to
forget the past but rather to leave
behind their own legacy
24401 Sylvia Fielding Robert E Lee High School
Who will pay for the name change, tax
payers should be forced to pay for this.
No reason to change name. Peoples
feeling get hurt every day, deal with it
24401 Meghan Fielding-Cotton Robert E. Lee High school
I don’t wanta pay more in taxes in my
house!
24401 Bella Fields Queen City High School Fortnite high school I choose this because it is the city name.
24401 Josh Fields Queen City High School Staunton High School Obama High
I like the way they sound and roll off
the tounge.
22903 Luther Fields Queen City High School n/a n/a
22980 Greg Fife Staunton High School
Other names are generic, confusing, or
could be confused with Shenandoah
County.
24401 es fin Shenandoah Valley High School Donald.J.Trump High School It would honour our president.
24401 Mary Finch Queen City High School Staunton High School
Staunton High restores the original
name, and Queen City pays tribute to
our town
28730 sidney finkel Freedom High School
Appeals to all, team could be called
Freedom Fighters, I am a 1962 Lee Grad
24401 es fins Shenandoah High School Donald.J.Trump High School It would honour our president.
45501 Barbara Firehock Francis Collins High School Local prominent man
24401 Raymond Firehock Staunton High School
"Staunton High School" is the historic
name of the school. That name clearly
identfiies who and where we are. The
other geographical names suggested
are too vague and do not show pride in
where we actually live. Picking a
person to name the school for is likely
to start the whole name kerfluffle all
over again.
22980 Judy Fisher Staunton High School R.E.Lee
Regardless if you change the name or
not it will still be called R.E.Lee
24401 Keith Fisher Queen City High School
Queen City has a historical value that I
find interesting
24401 Alisha Fisher Queen City High School
I like the history behind our Queen City
also It will help keep personal
names/politics out of the vote!
22980 R Fisher Staunton High School
Favorite of the ones listed. Wish it
wasn't changing part of Virginia tourism
is the history in this area.
22401 Brandon Fisher GEN Stonewall Jackson
He is my great great great great
grandfather
24401 Telijah Fitch Staunton High School
It was the original name, and it isn't
controversial to just revert it back to
the original name.
24401 Jason Fitchko Staunton High School Frances Collins High School
Staunton High is the original name and
besides Wilson it fits the motif of local
schools being named for the area they
represent rather than an individual
22980 Logan Fitz Robert E Lee Does not need to be changed
24401 Koty Fitzgerald Queen City High School Queen City fits well
24401 Dakota Fitzgerald Queen City High School Staunton High School
Queen City sounds like a good high
school name and Staunton is where it’s
nocated so it makes sense.
24401 Hailey Fitzgerald Queen City High School It sounds cool
24401 Samar Fitzgerald Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Staunton High School
If Queen City, mascot could
be the Queen Bees
Shenandoah High has the nicest, most
poetic ring in my opinion. But I also like
that QUeen City High evokes some of
our exceptional history but without
miring us in racial references. On the
other hand, Shenandoah is perhaps
more forward looking and neutral. I
would prefer the school not be named
after a person unless it is someone of
color from Staunton.
24401 Alicia Fitzgerald Staunton High School
I feel school school should have name
of city it's in.
24401 Eugene Fitzgerald Staunton High School
Simple and easy. The others seem a bit
much
24431 Larry Fitzgerald Leave name alone Nothing wrong with name it has
24401 Natalie Fitzgerald Staunton High School
Naming the new school after a place
causes zero problems and zero dicide.
Staunton is better than Shenandoah
because it makes it unique to the
specific area. Shenandoah Valley
includes more places than just
Staunton.
24401 Hunter Fitzgerald Queen City High School
I like the name, and it sounds really
cool.
24401 katelyn fitzgerald Cynthia Gray High School in honor of the assistant principal.
24401 Fred Fitzgerald Staunton High School
Staunton is a historical city and she
stand on its own name.
20124 Matthew Fitzgerald Staunton High School Statler High School Staunton High School makes sense.
24401 Cindy Fitzgerald Queen City High School Staunton High School Na
22939 Tanya Fitzpatrick
Booker T. Washington High
School
Booker T has an amazing overlooked
history.
24401 Maria Fitzwater Staunton High School
It should be named after the city it is
located in. Should have never been
changed!
24401 Ryan Fix Queen City High School cause
24401 Taylor Fix Queen City High School Fits best for our school
24401 Neil Fix Staunton High School Valley High School
Because, without fail, if the school is
named for a person someone will be
offended.
24401 Ryan Fix Queen City High School Francis Collins High
I like the names. It unifies the student
body.
24401 Sidney Fix Queen City High School Sounds nice
24401 Kristi Fix Shenandoah Valley High School Valley High School My personal opinion
24401 Buster Fix Washington and Lee
Named for booker t washington and
robert e lee both educators
24401 Alexis Fix Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School ..
24401 Bud Flanders Queen City High School Staunton High School
Shenandoah would be too confusing do
to another county using the name.
24401 Taylor Flavin Queen City High School Staunton High School
I feel like Staunton makes sense, as
most local schools are named after the
city they’re located in.
24401 Kara Flavin Queen City High School It sounds cool
24401 Kendall Flavin Queen City High School Lee High School
My preference is Lee High because I am
a student at the currently named
Robert E. Lee High School, and wish for
it to be called Lee High which doesn’t
have to be associated with General Lee.
24401 Jenn Flavin Queen City High School Lee High School
The kids I have spoken to while at the
LHS Volleyball game last night all
preferred the name Queen City from
the list provided so I am voting for
them on that name. They like the
originality of a high school name NOT
named after the city they reside in. It
makes our school unique from others. I
personally think it should be Lee High.
There is NO reason compromise should
not be met.
24401 Kara Flavin Queen City High School Sounds better than the rest.
24401 Bryan Flavin Forest Gibson High School
The name repreents one of the

24472 Melanie Fleshman Staunton High School Robert E Lee Leave it as it is.
24477 Emily Flippin Staunton High School It’s not based on race
22812 Lauren Flora Queen City High School
Queen City sounds nice and I don’t
want it to be named shanandoah
valley. This argument and decision
doesn’t represent the entire valley.
24401 Luritza Flores Queen City High School I think it will be less boring

24477 Pat Fox Lee High School
I don’t think it should be changed but it
supposed to be put tho the people and
none of the ones in Question 4 is all the
names that citizens want . Why ask for
what name we want when you have
the ones in Question 4 ??? Have you as
board members already decided ????
24134 Angela Fox R.E. Lee
Because it is our history, you can’t
change that. And society needs to quit
sucking their thumbs and grow up
24401 Whitney Fox Lee High School
I don’t think it is necessary to change
the name because of history and the
fact that some people are offended by
it. I have a hearing loss but am not
offended by the name of VSDB. There
are far more important things to be
worrying about in my opinion.
24401 Ian Fox Robert E Lee High School Because the name shouldn't change.
24477 Kirk Fox Staunton High School Donald J Trump High School It has a nice ring to it

history- lets honor it
24401 Robyn Frank Staunton High School N/a Simple and to the point.
24401 Pat Frank Staunton High School
Staunton City High School is a great
neutral name.
24401 Zach Franklin Francis Collins High School
The guy discovered several diseases
and lead the human genome project.
He’s also a graduate of Lee High. It
would make great sense to use him.
J Franklin Staunton High School It was the original name of the school.
24401 Anne Franklin
George Lincoln Rockwell
High It shows pride in our values. Good man.
24401 Ben Franklin
Terry Davis Memorial High
School
Terry Davis was a good, moral
computer programmer who tragically
ended his life after decades of
struggling with mental disorder. I would
choose this name to show mental
health awareness as well as to promote
STEM programs in our school.
24401 Justin Freed Staunton High School
No one can be upset with it’s original
name
24401 Jaydenn Freeman Queen City High School

24401 Brazell Freeman Valley High School I think it’s a neutral name.
Jacob Freeman Queen City High School Sounds best
24401 Gabriel Freeman I don't want it to just be staunton high
24401 Dariyann Freeman Queen City High School Staunton High School Because it’s the most neutral
24401 Guy Freesen Staunton High School
It’s the natural choice. When I moved
here in 1999, I naturally assumed the
only high school in town would simply
be Staunton High School.
24401 Stacey Fregosi Queen City High School
I like the way it sounds more than the
others. It is inclusive of everyone who
lives in our city and has a flair to it that
matches the flavor of our city. We live
in a very unique town and the name
should reflect that. Plus, our nickname
could then be the Royals. That has an
awfully powerful ring to it!
24401 John Fregosi Queen City High School Staunton High School
I feel either the name or nickname of
the town is appropriate.
24482 Matthew Frenger Donald J. Trump High School Greatest president ever!
24401 Brynne Fretwell Staunton High School
Restoring one of the historic names
may help offer compromise to those
who claim we shouldnt "try to change
history"
24401 Jonathan Fretwell Queen City High School Robert E Lee Tradition
24401 Satchell Friar Queen City High School Queen City high school Because
24401 Bridget Friel Shenandoah Valley High School Robert E. Lee High School Because history can not be undone.

He was the last president to deserve
the title.
24401 Shawn Fry Staunton High School Francis Collins highschool
He came from staunton and is an
excellent representation of what a hard
working person can do with a good
education. He's a success and a good
example educationally of what kids
from a small town can accomplish
24401 Bishop Frye Queen City High School Its not a blank name, like staunton high.
24482 Denise Frye Robert E Lee N/A
24401 Amy Fullen Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School They’re classic sounding
24401 Valley high Fullwood Staunton High School Valley High School Like either of them
24401 Bradley Funk
Frosty the Snowman High
School. Mascots could be
“The Snow Flakes”
Goes very well with the residents that
wanted the name changed
22980 Dave Fuqua Shenandoah Valley High School
The choir could sing Oh Shenandoah at
every concert and nobody would have
any complaints about that.
24401 Brad Furr Queen City High School I think it appropriate
22801 Lena FW SchoolyMcSchoolFace Because it is very important to me
24401 George G Staunton High School n/a
24401 Mike G Staunton High School Creole Williams High School
I got a little girl waitin on me and I want
to treat her right.
24401 Kristin Gaffney Staunton High School A reasonable choice
22802 Rachel Gaghan Staunton High School It's the original name
24401 pamela gaines Lady Staunton High School
The city was named after her me Class
of 1973. I think this a bunch of BS
anyway
24401 Lucy Gaines Staunton High School Staunton Royals (mascot)
Royals ties in the Queen City idea and
also the color from the old Lee HS.
24401 Victor Gaines Queen City High School Staunton High School
Queen City royals, or
Staunton royals, just use
royals, it's cool
I go to Lee, these are the names I'd like
to see
24482 D Gale Staunton High School
Lee High School. Just
remove the Robert E. Could
represent Spike Lee, Bruce
Lee, etc. Makes everyone
happy.
Staunton is prior name. Just "Lee"
saves money and represents many
other figures that have the name Lee to
appease everyone.
2130 Jayne Gallagher Staunton High School
Staunton is our city and Staunton is our
school.
24557 Alex Galvez Robert E Lee
Because it should not be changed. I
attended this school and it is sad day
when a school has to have the name
changed because a bunch of liberals
say it is offensive. This school has had a
proud tradition in Virginia of being a
sports leader, academic leader for 90
yrs.
24401 Patricia Gammon-Mccauley Queen City High School Shakespeare highschool
Shakespeare center downtown, We
have amazing performing arts
programs, And come on how cool
would it be to say you graduated from
Shakespeare high. Besides, going to our
one act competitions. It’d be quite
intimidating competing against
someone who goes to Shakespeare
high school.
24482 Sadie Garber Queen City High School
Queen City is unique, memorable,
interesting, and not a Confederate
monument!
24401 Ian Garber Staunton High School Lee High School
Its a good name and it should stay the
same
22315 Erica Garber Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School
Staunton High School was the white
high school - time for something new
24401 Taylor Garber Queen City High School
I feel this name accurately represents
our school.
24401 Teresa Garber Staunton High School
Statler High School or
Stonewall Jackson High
School
The Statler Brother’s is one of
Staunton’s biggest claim to fame and
Stonewall Jackson because we have the
beautiful hotel here so it’s name
branding.
24401 Ryan Garber Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School They sound good
Kat Garcia SCHOOL MCSCHOOLIE Educational purposes
22980 Kristina Garcia Staunton High School
I like it because it will represent
Everyone in Staunton
24401 Fonda Gardnee Staunton High School Makes sense.
24401 Annie Gardner Queen City High School Best sounding
24401 Donna Garret Staunton High School relevance as a whole community
24402 Tracey Garrett Staunton High School
This was the previous name and makes
sense to me.
24401 Kathy Garris Queen City High School Robert E. Lee
Queen City is a unique, stand out name.
.
24401 James Garrison Queen City High School
Tons of students prefer queen city over
anything else
24401 Katelen Garrison Staunton High School
Reason why I close Staunton city is
because it’s plain. I don’t want Queen
City on my high school diploma.
24401 James Garrison Queen City High School Staunton High School Francis S. Collins High School
Traditional, fun, and after a great
alumnus
24401 Cierra Garvin Staunton High School it makes sense
24401 Sonya Gasser Staunton High School
What it used to be called, simple, tells
location of school
24401 Tim Gates Robert E. Lee
Taxpayer funds should be used
responsibly.
24477 Nicole Gebhardt Robert E Lee High School
Because its fine the way it is. Buck up
and stand for something. This society
today is to worried about hurting
feelings you can't make everyone
happy. ROBERT E LEE HIGH SCHOOL
ROBERT E LEE HIGH SCHOOL ROBERT E
LEE ROBERT E LEE!
23320 Suzy Gee Robert E. Lee High School
Because it is the name it is and it should
remain.
24401 Donna Gee Shenandoah Valley High School
Let us represent the 'Heart' of the
Shenandoah Valley and our kids which
will bit it's future.
23060 Helena Geipel Staunton High School TJ Collins High School
Staunton HS because that would be
restoring the original name and it
makes sense. TJ Collins because he is
the most noted architect of the area
(early 1900s).
24402 Geoff Geoffrey Queen City High School
Queen City is new and offers a fresh
start. Move forward and not
backwards. Queen City Knights!!
24401 Nickolas Georganzis Robert E Lee High School
If someone get butt hurt over a name
like lee high how come we can have a
Martin Luther king everything. KEEP
THE DAMN NAME!! ITS HISTORY!
24401 nemo george Queen City High School couse
24401 Nadine Gergel-Hackett Queen City High School Staunton High School Harriet Tubman High School
I believe it's important to carefully
consider naming the school after a
woman. This is especially true
considering how women have been
historically ignored when naming
schools, buildings, etc. Additionally, I
believe that the new name should set a
tone for justice and the communities
commitment to righting some of its
wrongs of the past.
22801 Emma Ghaemmaghami Queen City High School Staunton High School N/a
24431 Samantha Gibbs Queen City High School I just think it's the best fit
24401 Mary Gibbs Staunton High School It describes the area it serves.
24479 Diane Gibbs Staunton High School
Because it's the high school for
Staunton, and was the original name.
24421 Pam Gibson Queen City High School
It accords with hostorical naming of
Staunton.
A Gibson Robert E Lee
The people need the right to vote on a
name change in the general election
24401 Michael Gibson Queen City High School Paul Hatcher High School
I think the school should be named
after coach Hatcher. Staunton high
school isn’t appropriate because that
was a segregated school. Of these
choices, I prefer Queen City but I like
Paul Hatcher High the best.
22980 Sherise Gibson Staunton High School Neutrality
24401 Brennen Gilbert Queen City High School John Lewis High School N/a
24401 Ron Gilbert Fighting Snowflakes City has become snowflakes
24401 Karen Gilbert Talbot High School
Coach T was such a great leader and
Great with kids
22980 Lindsey Gilbertson Robert E. Lee You CANNOT change history.
24401 Glendon Gill Staunton High School Francis Collins
Of the listed names, Staunton is
specific. References to the Valley are
too generic. Could be anywhere in the
Shendandoah Valley. However, I much
prefer naming the school after Francis
Collins. Such a name would be forward-
looking, a role model for future
achievment for all the students.
23452 Kate Gill Queen City High School
Love the name! COOL mascot idea
queen and king
22939 Addie Gilligan Queen City High School
Queen City High is not politically
affiliated and sounds respectable and
strong
24401 Haley Gilmer Queen City High School It isn't the exact same as the others
24401 Leslie Giorgetti Queen City High School
It’s unique and if we have to change
the name it should have character.
24401 Lee Giorgetti Queen City High School Queen city royals History of staunton
24401 Nancy Glade Staunton High School
The school can best be identified by
naming it after the location.
24401 Susan Gleadow Robert E. Lee It should remain the same.
24401 Patricia Gleaves Staunton High School
It is the only one that doesn't sound
dumb out of the choices
24401 Christa Gleaves Shenandoah High School
Booker T. Wahington
Highschool
The name has history in out area and
representa a mich more positive image
to children of all races and
backgrounds. He was a great rolde
model and a good image to display as a
community raising young kids to take
on the world.
24401 Tricia Gleaves Staunton High School
It makes the most sense out of the
choices given
22812 jill glick JEB Stuart High School
Because you shouldn't have changed it
in the first place by a school board and
not by the community
24401 Todd Glidewell Staunton High School
Simple, straightforward and doesnt
alienate anyone
24482 Boyd Glover Staunton High School mascot = scholars Healing the community
24401 Tarah Glover Staunton High School Simple
22980 Faith Goalder Queen City High School
it’s cute because Queen City = Staunton
City and it is not political and just in
general a cute name!
22664 Bob Gochenour Staunton High School City High School If not R E Lee then this
24401 Lynn Gochenour Staunton High School
Historically called that. Easily
identifiable.
24401 Deborah Godbey Staunton High School
Waynesboro high..... staunton high....
makes sense
24401 Alyssa Goff Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Francis Collins High School
he is a notable alumni that helped with
the Human Genome Project
24401 Shaniqua Goldberg
Terry Davis Memorial High
School
He is a black Programmer who has
inspired me to become a STEM student
and has sadly taken his own life while
chasing his dreams, I would lake to
follow him and make his dreams come
true.
24401 Nathaniel Goldberg Staunton High School Clearest
24401 Murray Golden Staunton High School
Because Robert E. Lee isn't good
enough.
24401 Molly Goldsmith Staunton High School
It's simple, descriptive and shows pride
in the city.
24401 Emma Gomez
Terry Davis Memorial High
School
Such an amazing Black visionary
deserves too be at least the name of a
school, so far he has been shoved out
of history in near every facet, he is the
most brilliant man to have ever lived
but not even mildly known.
24401 Dominic Gonzalez
Terry Davis Memorial High
School
Terry Davis was such an honorable man
of color who helped an entire
generation progress forward in
technology until the end of his life, he is
and was a hero.
24401 Jesus Gonzalez Staunton High School It's better than the last one.
22972 Tristan Gonzalez Staunton High School Personal preferance
22972 Tina Gonzalez Staunton High School N/A
Queen City makes no sense because
Lady Rebekah was a slave owner as
well. I have already heard it referred to
as the Queen City Queers, and that’s
not appropriate but that is what they
will be called. Staunton City Stallions is
a good name. My nephews go to that
school and I don’t want them to be
ashamed of the name of their school.
They should be proud to be called the
Staunton City Stallions.
24401 Beth Good LEE HIGH
Changing name is a stupid waste of
funding that could be used for
academic purposes
24401 Savannah Goodbar Queen City High School
It’s the best out of the options. At least
it has some character.
24401 VIncent Goode Staunton High School SCHOOLEY MCSCHOOLFACE
Because Robert E. Lee isn't good
enough.
24401 Bob Goodfellow Staunton High School Robert E. Lee High School Cant erase history
24401 Miles Goodloe Queen City High School Francis Collins High School Its the only choice that didnt suck
22903 Patricia Goodloe Lee High School
Much less taxpayer money spent on
rebranding. Just a thought. Otherwise
name it Staunton High.
37801 Ed Goodrow Robert E. Lee
Changing the names of schools was
Hitlers first step in promoting the Nazi
party.
24401 Henry Goodson Queen City High School
It’s cooler than Staunton High School
and more unique
24401 Mandy Goodson Queen City High School
I feel that Queen City is name that all
sides can get behind and it is not in
honor of any person
24401 Reese Goodson Queen City High School Queen City Royals
It’s more interesting than Staunton and
will probably get more overall support.
24437 Lisa Gordon Robert E Lee
Changing the name doesn’t change the
divisiveness. We need to come
together and stop the madness
24401 Jennifer Goss Queen City High School Legendary High School
Queen City sounds fancy. Legendary
keeps the initials
24401 Jesse Gossen Staunton High School Why not.
22903 Robert Gough Staunton High School Staunton City High School
Provides clear identification for VHSL,
College Boards, etc, and is a whole lot
less racist!
24401 Megan Graham Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Valley High School N/A
They fit the students and teachers that
go/work there
24401 Cassidy Graham Queen City High School I love the sound of it! It’s original
24401 Aiden Graham Queen City High School Queen city royal used to be old name
22980 Ashley Graham Valley High School Bruce lee high school Random
24401 Sue Graham Staunton High School
Leave it as Robert E Lee High
School Best selection
24401 June Graham Lee High School
With dropping the Robert E., no person
should be hurt and it's what most
people say now. I say Lee High all the
time. I am alumni and it just makes the
most of the name change.
24401 Steve Grande Staunton High School Booker T. Washington
The name change from Staunton High
School to Lee High in the 1910's took
place during an historical period when
states were passing laws to restrict the
rights of African Americans. The
creation of monuments and the naming
of schools was intended to further that
effort. Changing the name back to
Staunton High School honors the
diversity of our city which our
community has come to value instead
of honoring a time period saturated
with racist terror.
24401 Molly Grant Staunton High School
We can’t go from a
confederate soldier to a
monarch Staunton High School is simple
24401 Gary Grant John Lewis High School
Founder of Staunton and Augusta
County
24401 Cynthia Grant Staunton High School
Waynesboro High School is named for
its place. Buffalo Gap is named for its
place. Harrisonburg is named for its
place. I'm proud of Staunton and with
only one high school there is no reason
it shouldn't have the name of its place.
24401 Jessica Grant Queen City High School It is the best name of the group listed
24401 Walker Grant Queen City High School
I think that it accepts Staunton as the
jewel of the Shenandoah Valley.
24401 Michelle Grauer Queen City High School
Lee-King High School (or
some other relevant
combination)
This allows for both "offended" parties
to still be recognized as relevant figures
of history. It might allow for some
opportunity for context to the debate
and still keep conversation going.
24401 Zach Gray Staunton High School It´s the only name that makes sense.
24401 Maureen Gray Staunton High School returning to it's original name
24401 Kimberly Gray Queen City High School
I think it honors the history of Staunton
and moves us into a new future.
24401 Lisa Gray Staunton High School
Hopefully no one will be offended by it.
It should NOT be named after a person.
24401 Leona Gray Staunton High School Cynthia B. Gray
Because she was a dynamic person
who loved the community and her
school
24482 anthony greaver Donald J Trump High School
whats the reason for the 5 names
chosen?
24401 kenneth greaver Staunton High School woodroe wilson high school my opinion
24401 June Green Queen City High School I did not choose to change old name
24401 Nevaeh Green Queen City High School Queen City Royals Used to be the nick name of the town
Anaya Green Queen City High School Queen City royals Because its another name of our city.
24472 Joe Green Robert E Lee high school
It fits the area and represents great
leadership
22802 Hannah Green Staunton High School Hunter Talbott High School Makes the most sense
24401 Nathan Green
Terry Davis memorial High
School
A person who has done great things for
us
24440 Jeffrey Green Queen City High School Staunton High School You should have left it Idk
24401 Adam Greenbaum Staunton High School Seems most appropriate
24477 Brenning Greenfield Queen City High School Staunton High School Valley High School Statler Brother High School Positive name
24401 Ronald Greenfield Donald J. Trump High School To honor our president.
Jerry Greening Queen City High School It’s nice
24401 Sharon Greening Queen City High School It has a nice flow
24401 Emma Greening Queen City High School It sounds nice
24401 Michael Greenleaf Queen City High School
The students of the school feel as if this
is the best choice and it makes them
excited for the name change.
24401 Arianna Greenleaf Queen City High School
Queen City high school has a nice
sound, and makes the school sound like
it has pride. Instead of the usual city
name most high schools have, we could
use what staunton is well known as.
24401 Dalton Greenlee Queen City High School Robert E. LEE
I don’t think the name should be
changed
24401 Linda Gregory Staunton High School best for community
24401 Colby Gregory Staunton High School NA The best alternative choice.
22903 Preston Grice
Richard Henry Lee High
School
Richard Henry Lee was an American
statesman from Virginia back in the
1700's. He was a key figure in calling
for the independence of be American
colonies from Great Britain. He was the
fourth president of the Congress of the
Confederation and a United States
Senator from Virginia. He was in
notable historical figure from Virginia
back in the 1700's. He was also a signer
of the declaration of independence.
24437 Harley Griffin Harley Birth name
24401 Clint Griffin Queen City High School Robert E lee Idk
24401 Travis Griffith Robert E Lee High School
Study History and realize that Robert E
Lee ended the civil war to reunite the
country. Also study history to
understand who Abraham Lincoln
added to his administration to reunite
the country after the civil war, Robert E
Lee. Why do a couple of board
members have the right to change the
name of a school that represents the
man who ended the civil war and
helped to unite the country. STUDY
HISTORY and quit listenening to people
who are uneducated and influenced by
people who don’t know history.
24401 Kevin Griffith Staunton High School
I believe all 3 of the former high schools
could be represented. Change the
name to Staunton High School,
nickname the Generals, and use the
school colors of Booker T. Washington.
24401 Sally Griffith Staunton High School It is a simple non-controversial name
24401 Dennis Grimm Valley High School
Because staunton high is not moving
forward
24401 Loretta Grimm Valley High School
You can't move forward w/Staunton
High so I just like the sound of Valley
High
22801 Gritty Gritty Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Valley High School
Harambe Memorial High
School
Harambe died for our sins. If not now,
then when?
24401 Jacqueline Groff Staunton High School N/a Pick a name that represents the city
24401 Shannon Grogg Queen City High School
I chose this because my niece will
graduate from there in 2020 and she
prefers this name. It will be her alma
mater, so I think she should have a
voice.
24401 Angela Grogg Robert E Lee High School The name should stay as is.
24401 Joshua Grooms Shenandoah Valley High School Heritage High School Heart of where it's located
22812 Matthew Grooms Queen City High School
Queen City high school is
representative of the city of staunton
but carries no affiliation with a person
and is therefore impartial while also
holding traditional value. It is also
unique and sets the ground for the
name of the high school to be a source
of pride.
22801 Mark Groseclose
Have no name at all Then it
would offend nobody Because this discussion is infantile
24401 Krystal Grough Queen City High School It’s the Queen City
24401 Bonnie Grove Feancis collins
Nationally known contributor to
medical field and respected
22401 Evan Grover Staunton High School Lee High School
It worked just fine for many years. Stop
pandering to special interest groups.
24401 Heather Grow Staunton High School
Simple, and I like having our town’s
name represented
24401 jordan grubb Queen City High School none original
24401 jordan grubb Queen City High School sounds nice
24401 jordan grubb Queen City High School none could keep colors
24401 Makena Grubbs Queen City High School
I have written an email to the school
board in the past suggesting the name
Queen City. I was one of many or
maybe even the first to suggest that
name. I think that name would suit
Staunton perfectly considering
Staunton is known as Queen City. The
name is also very inclusive and should
not bring any more controversies to
our town.
24401 Maria Guertler Queen City High School
It's appropriate since Staunton is called
Queen City
24401 J. L Guf High school. Because school board the real name
24401 Hailey Guffey Staunton High School Valley High School Monsters High School
It would be a cool name like no other
high school
24401 Katherine guffey Guffey Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Valley High School Cause it nice name
24482 Peggy Guffey Lee High School
I really don’t think a name change is
warranted but using Lee appears
reasonable with minimal disruption to
the students and anyone opposed plus
it would not be as expensive
24401 Alie Guillory Queen City High School Queen City is cool
24401 Kristen Gundling Staunton High School
Shenandoah, Shenandoah valley and
valley high didn’t seem to make sense
to me because there are many high
schools in the Shenandoah valley so I’m
not sure what sets ours apart to hold
the name. Queen City would be my
number 2 choice but sitting in the stans
yelling ‘go queen’ just didn’t seem to
fit. Staunton high seems fitting :)
24401 Ogden Guthrie Staunton High School
It's the most logical. It's unique and
represents our city and no other
locality. Valley High has been used by
another Virginia school.
24467 Josh Gutshall Staunton High School
Simply the name of the city. Locations
are less controversial than using
people’s names.
24401 Rose Gutterman Queen City High School
Sapphos high school(She
was a greek possibaly
lesbian poet)
All the other names are bland and
boring and generally crappy. Queen
City is the most creative.
24401 Connor Gwin Shenandoah High School Staunton High School Francis Collins High School
Francis Collins is the head of the
National Institutes of Health and a key
researcher in the Human Genome
Project. His contributions to the field of
science are enormous. Of course, he is
also a Staunton native.
22939 Mitzi Gwin Staunton High School Keep same
Think it should stay same but if going to
change then Staunton High. Just like
Wanyesbor, Stuart's Drafft, Ft Defiance.
24401 p h Queen City High School staunton okay
24401 D H Queen City High School Sounds well mannered
24401 Emily H Staunton High School Kind of like waynesboro high school
22812 Van Hackett Staunton High School It was the original name of the school.
24401 Makayla Hackett Queen City High School It is not offensive
24401 Allan Hadfield Queen City High School Its the queen city!!
24401 Mary Hadfield Queen City High School
It’s a better version of staunton high,
and makes sense
24401 Elizabeth Hadley Staunton High School
Let's get the Staunton name out there!
A note for the survey, I hope that you

24401 Leslue Hager Lee High School Staunton is known for Lee High.
24401 Allison Hahn Queen City High School
Queen City is another name for
Staunton, and I think it's more unique
than Staunton High School.
24477 Cathy Hahn Lee High School
I graduated from Lee High 1973 and
that is what I called my school.. Not
sure when I learned my school name
was named after a man in History but
my probably from US History class. My
thoughts of this was that's pretty cool
but I still called my school Lee High. I
was proud of all the students and
faculty for letting people be who they
wanted to be. I don't remember racial
problems fights or issues then not sure
why there is a big deal now and since it
is just take Robert E off and this would
be cost effective and those who were
opposed would get partially what they
want.

The city has the name of the Queen

option.
24401 Lexi Hale Queen City High School
It has connection to Staunton and not a
person another human would be
offended about
24401 Tahlib Haliburton Queen City High School
Robert E Lee highscool. Look
we go to the school we
should have a school wide
vote to decide whether to
keep the name or change it.
Bc basically the name
change is coming from a
minority of people. And if
we based all our decisions
on the minority opinions
where would be. I thought
we live in a society where
democracy where the
majority rules.
Peace and to stop the arguing in my
school
24401 Tyrese Haliburton Queen City High School Best choice
24401 Christina Hall Queen City High School I lik it

Because it honors the name of a great

22841 george hamlet Staunton High School don’t change it. it’s stupid
24401 Danielle Hammer Staunton Snowflakes
Literally less than 1 in 4 people wish to
change the name and yet here we are.
People are so careless about what
really matters like improving test
scores, getting Bessie Weller
accredited, raising teacher salary or
anything remotely useful to the good
welfare of the students. Instead we
have to change the name to cater to
the what the entitled feel it should be.
It’s bullshit. Who cares about changing
the name. It’s just an excuse to erase
history & sugar coat history. Focus on
what actually matters!
24401 Mike Hammer Staunton Snowflakes
This town is soft. Sick of minority rule(1
in 4 want change). Sick of PC bullshit
and liberals erasing history.

Pretty self explanatory. Non-

22980 Nic Hamner Staunton High School Robert E. Lee
Can’t your money go into furthering
education???? Versus a schools name?
Seems selfish that older generations
mostly out of school are wanting the
change, why not ask the students?
Would you rather change a name or
have better equipment to further your
education within this facility.
24401 Rebecca Hampshire Staunton High School Makes sense
24401 Ethan Hampton Queen City High School no Because it sounds good
24401 Shelby Hampton Queen City High School
The Harry Potter festival downtown is

24486 Norma Hampton Erase History High School
Taking the historic name off is a
ridiculous politically correct move.
Robert E Lee was not only a general for
the Confederate States of America, but
he was an educator and scholar. That
part of his legacy is being ignored by
some boneheaded people who have
nothing better to do than stir up
trouble.

22827 Sydney Haney Staunton High School
I didn’t like any of the others listed.
There is more than 1 high school in the
Shenandoah Valley, and “Shenandoah

high school would actually be in
Shenandoah.

22980 Lucas Harman Robert E. Lee High School
This is all nonsense. We teach and learn

24401 Jenny Harman Staunton High School
Having it named Staunton high school
just makes more sense cause we live in
Staunton. I can see some of these other
names being made fun of.
24401 Jason Harman Staunton High School
It makes the most sense plain and
simple. Shenandoah Valley doesn't
anchor the name to the city it could be
any school in the valley. Queen City
will be a foreign reference to
individuals not familiar local history.
24401 Kevin Harner Lee High It's what the current students call it

We have two many SHS's so that is out,

24401 Khory Hawkins Staunton High School It makes sense
24401 Christine Hawley Staunton High School
If the high school is to describe our
location then Staunton is the most
specific. "Shenandoah" in the name is
likely to lead folks to believe we are
north of Harrisonburg in Shenandoah
county. "Queen City" sounds too much
like an actual city name and could be
confusing when it is not actually on a
map. "Valley" is very generic and
doesn't actually pay tribute to the
unique terrain of Staunton within the
greater Shenandoah Valley.
24401 CHRISTOPHER HAWLEY Staunton High School
I believe we should keep it simple. If
the name is Staunton High School then
I think it stays in consistency with the
Valley and the rest of the High Schools.
For example ( Waynesboro,
Harrisonburg, Page Co., Broadway, etc)
24401 Ashlyn Hawley Staunton High School Lee High School
Keep it simple. Give no reason for

22801 Sandra Hernandez Queen City High School Barack Obama High School
I think there is no better way to rename
a school previously named after a racist
than renaming it after the first black
president of the USA. As for Queen
City, I think it has character, and
highlights part of the special history
that is unique to Staunton.
24401 Alyssa Hernandez Queen City High School
Queen City does a lot of great events

I rather have the city or our region be

(in my opinion) like Queen City.
24401 Robert Hevener Staunton High School
By naming the school for its location, it
creates better branding and identity.
Also, conforms to the other local high
schools being named for their location
and by naming it after the city, gets the
focus back on education and away from
partisan politics.
24401 Christian Hevener Staunton High School Lee High School
I have too many reasons to list for such
a ludicrous decision to occur.

Staunton City would not be a

If we have to change our

schools but only one in our Queen City.
Because of recent comments made
about Lady Staunton, I feel it is best to
stay away from any specific names.
24401 Amelia Hiner Shenandoah Valley High School
Staunton high is already ancient and
been used
24401 Vernon Hines Queen City High School
Staunton is already known as the
“Queen City”
24479 Curtice Hinkle Robert E Lee
I dont believe names things should be
changed to satisfy a race
24401 Tamara Hinton Staunton High School n/a n/a
24401 Carmen Hinton Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Diverse and explains are location
22980 Kathy Hiserman Queen City High School
It is more interesting than the other
names.
24401 Colton Hisey Queen City High School Staunton High School Different
24401 Kyra Hitchcock Valley High School It makes sense and it sound fine.
24401 Gabe Hite Queen City High School Valley High School Because it’s the best name
24401 Christine Hite Shenandoah Valley High School Lee High No better choice
22939 Gail Hite Staunton High School
Staunton High School identifies the
location. When you see articles in the
paper about schools you know who it’s
about by their name. I don’t think the
other suggested names do that.
24401 Leslie Hite Staunton High School None
It should have the least argument
moving forward since it is the name of
our town. People are upset about the
name change as it is...at least this
seems to be a name that people won’t
hate.
24401 Luther Hite Staunton High School Neutral
24401 Harrison Hite Queen City High School
It rolls off the tongue better than the
other options
24401 Betty Hite Queen City High School Valley High School
There is already a school called
Shenandoah in VA.
544 Adolf Hitler Nigger central Because there are too many blacks
24401 Madison Hoad Queen City High School
it fits the area and it’s history without
offending anyone
24401 Jenny Hochstetler Queen City High School Staunton High School Sinplicity
24401 Jason Hochstetler Staunton High School The school is in Staunton.
24401 Maddi Hochstetler Queen City High School
I believe that the name Queen City High
School is a good name because it
reflects a long-standing nickname of
our city, and allows us to show our
pride of Staunton. It has a better ring to
it than Staunton High School and if the
mascot were to be the Royals, we could
keep the same colors and therefore
make the transition to the new name
easier.
22802 Noel Hockman Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School
Sound good, roll off tongue, descriptive
of area.
24401 Addyson Hodge Queen City High School I like the name
24401 Ingrid Hodge Robert E Lee High School
The name should remain the same. To
remove the name shows ignorance. All
of this giving in to remove a name a
Statue etc is not the way to make
anything go away. I feel this is just
going to be the beginning of more
hatered. There are so many things in
Staunton that we all can be offended.
Use this money and put it towards
bettering the school with more
technology and better resources.
24401 Tracey Hodge Queen City High School Queen city knights
My daughter wants this name amd she
attenda Lee
24401 Micaelah Hodge Queen City High School i like it
24401 Kira Hodge Queen City High School Queen City royals
It’s stauntons nickname and non racist
to any race
24401 Tonya Hodge Valley High School Shouldn’t have any back lash
24401 Matt Hoffman Queen City High School Staunton High School High school
Queen City embraces the nickname for
Staunton, and Staunton high is the old
name.
22153 Laura Hogan Queen City High School Staunton High School Talbott High School Coach T
24401 JaLisa Hoge Staunton High School Staunton Public High School
Because it's the only public high school
in Staunton
33076 David Hogg
Terry Davis Memorial High
School
Terry Davis has shown how awful guns
are too many a gang member and has
put them on the right track before he
took his own life, he was a person of
color history should never forget.
24401 Kristin Holbrook Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Seem accurate and reasonable
24401 Will Holland John Lewis high School Was the old name of the building
22939 Emma Holland Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School
I like that they include the valley we live
in instead of just the city name
21703 jacob holland Shenandoah Valley High School e
Coalter Hollberg Staunton High School n/a
24401 Sara Hollberg Staunton High School simply fits the city of Staunton
24401 Forrest Hollberg Staunton High School Robert E. Lee High School
The Shenandoah Valley is a big place
and I think Staunton High School is
more geographically descriptive name. I
suggested Robert E. Lee HS as an
alternate name because I’m still a little
sore about the whole name change
thing.
24436 Nathan Holliday Staunton High School Staunton City High School
Just another variation, on the one I
picked provided.
22980 Kristen Holman Staunton High School Robert E. Lee High School Robert E. Lee was a part of history.
24401 John Holmes Staunton High School
It's the city name, hard to argue about
that.
24471 Eric Holmes Robert E Lee high school Because there is nothing wrong with it
24401 Ethan Holsinger Queen City High School I have no other no
22939 Jenna Holt Queen City High School
Queen City continues to speak to our
heritage, and is a lovely name for the
high school
24402 Katie Holt John Cena High School
I, as well as many others I know, look
up to John Cena, and believe that he
deserves the honor of having a school
named for him.
24401 Makalia Holtz Queen City High School
I like the name because it's different
from others. There are many other
schools that have the school named
after the city but naming our school
Queen City High School is unique in my
opinion.
24401 Bob Holy Queen City High School It’s the best out of the others
24401 Sharon Honeycutt Staunton High School
Washington and Lee High
School
Washington and Lee combines the
names of the two high schools that
used to exist in Staunton. Washington -
as in Booker T Washington. This was
the name of the high school for African
American students before
desegregation. Lee - as in Robert E Lee
was the name of the all white high
school before desegration. Why didn't
you all do this when desegregation
happened?
24401 Samantha Honig Queen City High School Staunton High School
Staunton High is identifiable in regard
to its location/ Queen City High rolls off
the tongue and is unique to Staunton,
Va
24401 Audrey Hoodock Queen City High School
There are so many other events in our
community with the name Queen City
and I think it is fitting when removing
another name that the new name
reflect not only the community and
history, but also a name that we can
stand behind and generates curiosity
into who we are. The others, with the
exception of Staunton High School, are
far too bland and non-descript for our
community.
22827 Talley Hook Ricky Bobby High School
We should honor Ricky Bobby and the
sacrifices he made for NASCAR
24401 Destiny Hooke-Bady Staunton High School Robert e lee high school
Because the name shouldn’t even be
changed on such a old high school. If
you want a new name build a new high
school
24401 Itali Hoover Queen City High School
It seems better than Staunton
highschool
22841 Jessica Hoover Queen City High School
Unity High School or just
plain LEE high
As a graduate of Lee, I no longer live in
Staunton, but my family does. This
whole name thing has really divided the
community. I personally was against a
name change, but now that it's
happening it needs to be something
that will unite the community together.
I hate seeing so much anger in my quite
little hometown.
24401 Brian Hoover Lee high school
As a graduate and former fighting
Leemen that quote means a lot to me
aswell as countless others. We are and
will forever be the fighting Leemen.
Take Robert e out that’s fine by me. I
can’t inagine a football game without
hearing the fighting Leemen or reading
an article without this phrase. As a tax
payer I’m praying this could possibly be
considered
22939 Amber Hoover Lee History
24401 Leslie Hoover Staunton High School Talbot High School Coach T was a great man!
24401 Heather Hopkins Staunton High School Please not Queen City. :) Simple and original
22802 Don Hopson Staunton High School
Because of the school’s specific
location.
22843 Jennifer Horn Staunton High School
Paul Hatcher High, Lee High
School, Hunter Talbott High
They were leaders from our area that
invested in our children
24401 John Horst Staunton High School Classy and intuitive
24401 Katie Horst Staunton High School It's a city school, not a county school.
544 Adolf Hortler
George Lincoln Rockwell
High School more important in American history
544 Adolf Hortler
George Lincoln Rockwell
High
it is a prolific, historical figure that
spread a great message.
24477 Elyse Horvath Staunton High School Schooly McSchoolface
Shenandoah makes me think
Shenandoah county
24401 Kevin Hoschar Staunton High School Old name; identifies the location
24430 Thomas Hostetter Staunton High School no
Because it is in Staunton and
represents the city.
24479 Walker Hostetter R.E. Lee high school Because changing the name is dumb
24401 Vicki Hottel Staunton High School Blue Ridge High
Surrounded by the Blue Ridge
Mountains
24401 Morgan Hottel Queen City High School It makes sense and is not race offending
James Houff Shenandoah Valley High School
Because I like that name the most and
it works for our area
24401 Sheila Houff Staunton High School Valley high school
Look around you we live in staunton an
its in the Valley
24401 Lily Houff Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School N/A
because we are part of the
Shanendoah valley and also Queen City
is just a really cool name
24401 Donald Houser Staunton High School
only logical name to keep everyone
happy
22911 LINDA
HOUSER KELM
Class of 1969 Staunton High School Staunton City High School
This is about the most generic name
you could choose. It's a high school, it's
in Staunton, Staunton is a city.
Therefore, Staunton City High School.
24401 Teri Howard Staunton High School It just seems the most fitting.
24401 Josh Howard Queen City High School Staunton High School Staunton City High School
Queen City is by far the best. It's
unique, simple, and creates a cool and
unique abbreviation. "The QC" could be
Staunton's new thing to distance our
public image from Lee, Jackson, and
Dejarnette.
30135 Warner Howard Queen City High School
The current name conjures up
memories of slavery
24402 Justin Howdyschell Snowflake High School
Queen is insensitive to homosexuals,
Shenandoah is insensitive to Native
Americans, Staunton has negative
connotations relating to white
supremacy, Valley sounds like it's from
California. Snowflake would be good
because everyone loves snowflakes
24401 Matthew Howdyshell Robert e. Lee high school Heritage
24401 James Howell Staunton High School
Because the School Board decided to
change the name regarless of how little
support there actually is for this change.
24401 Justin Hoy Robert E. Lee High School Because you can't change history
24401 Richard Hubbard Staunton High School
A unique identification of the High
school that cannot be confused with
any other school
24401 Erin Hubbard Staunton High School
The city name encompasses city
residents. The rest are too broad.
22969 Lauren Huck Staunton High School Valley High School Hunter Talbott High School
Coach T made such an impact on all of
us who attended Staunton City Schools.
He was inspirational and deserves to
have the high school honor him.
22843 Sarah Hud Staunton High School
Staunton HS makes sense with the
school being in Staunton
24401 Katie Hudson Schoolie Mcschoolface It's the best
24401 June Huff Staunton High School Lee High School Better than the other choices
24401 Andrew Huff Staunton High School Francis Collins High School
Collins has made major contributions to
science and is a Staunton native
24401 Jordan Huffer Queen City Royals sounds nice.
24401 Lily Huffman Staunton High School
Robert E. Lee High School or
Virginia Heritage High
School.
You CANNOT change History - you learn
from it - He was a fine Virginia
gentleman with a distinguished Virginia
heritage. His family is prominent in
Virginia History including Richard Henry
Lee who signed The Declaration of
Independence!
24401 Lori Huffman Robert E. Lee High School
You can't change History! Many people
attended this school and have fond
memories of Robert E. Lee High School.
Leave the name alone!
24441 Doug Huffman RE Lee No need to change!
24401 Ashley Huggard Queen City High School
Queen City Royals would be a great
alternative
24401 James Huggins Staunton High School A welcoming name for a welcoming city.
24401 Pam Huggins Staunton High School
We are righting a wrong and thus I
think we should go back to the original
name of the school, which more clearly
reflects its idenity and location.
24401 Anthony Huggins Queen City High School It sounds great and it's not offensive
24401 Fiona Hughes Rober E. Lee High School
Please honor the history and identity of
this city and its people. Do not be
swayed by the anti-Southern agenda
that is in vogue at the moment..
24401 Bailey Hughes Queen City High School I like Queen City highschool
I think that it represents the history of
where we live and sounds cool.
24401 Robert Hughes Staunton High School Robert E Lee
The past is the past. It’s sad how the
times were, but that’s how it was
during that time period.
24401 Adam Hughes Queen City High School Sounded the best
24401 Berk Hughes Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Valley High School
Bobby and benny school of
oppression Its leet
24401 Cynthia Hughes Staunton High School It is the high school of Staunton VA
24401 Bekah Hull Queen City High School Queen city
It sounds nice and it would go well with
our school colors
24401 Megan Hummel Queen City High School Queen City
Staunton was named Queen City in
1915, which is just as historical as Lee's
name change, and adds spirit and
personality
24401 Suzanna Hummel Queen City High School
Reflects Staunton's history more
accurately that something general like
Valley or Shenandoah, but more
personality that Staunton High School.
24401 Ellise Hummell Queen City High School N/A N/A
24402 Alexis Hummell Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Lee high school
Queen City is something the entire
town can relate to and then
Shenandoah is a beautiful name.
20639 Steven Humphrey Nathanal Bedford Forrest
Nathan Bedford Forrest was a
prominent slave-owning Democrat,
Civil War general, and founder of the
Klu Klux Klan. If you are going to
rewrite history and side with the
Democrats, liberals, socialists,
progressives, statists, then you might as
well choose a figure from history that is
an example of the modern Democrat
party.
24401 Joseph Humphrey Robert E Lee Scumbags on the board
24482 Kimberly Humphreys Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Robert E. Lee
they sound good, but why change the
name? 🤔
24401 Carol Humphreys Robert E Lee Highschool It should have never come to this
24401 Keith Humphries Staunton High School Statler Brothers High School
Great people who helped the
community
24401 Greg Humphries Queen City High School
None of the other names aside from
Staunton City High School correctly
advertise it's populous accurately. Also
Queen City has a better connotation
where Staunton City is bland.
24401 Gavin Hunt Queen City High School Queen City Royals Used to be the nick name for the town
24401 Brooklyn Hunt Queen City High School Queen City Royals
Queen City used to be a nick name for
staunton! And Royals because we could
keep royal blue and white
24401 Sheana Hunt Staunton High School Staunton High
Because it’s the city of staunton. People
are complaining about the old name
and the history. We’ll Staunton has
history!
24401 ashlyn hunt hunt Queen City High School queen city royals
used to be the name of city. and
wouldnt change colors because of royal
24401 Carolyn Huntley Staunton High School
Identifies where school is located & it is
original name
24401 Emily Hurst Staunton High School Simple, to the point
24401 Karen Hurt Staunton High School Francis Collins Non-political
22980 Lucus Hutchinson Valley High School
Best to change it so we can get back to
more important things.
24401 Patricia Hutchinson Staunton High School
Should not be named after any
individual.Choose a name all
population can live with.
24401 Zackary Hutson Queen City High School Staunton High School N/a It’s not Robert E Lee
24401 Leah Huyard Staunton High School Staunton High School, plain and simple
43147 Samuel Hyde Robert E. Lee High School Because I am not a fucking Communist.
24401 Jessica Hyde Staunton High School
It is the name of our city and we should
be proud of our city
24401 Jeff Hylton Statler high school Statler influences on city
22980 Vanessa I Robert E. Lee High School
Don't waste money that could be used
in the school.
24401
Who cares, not
like you're going
to listen anyway
I doubt anyone is
even reading this
Don't change the fucking
name. White people are
getting tired of having their
history erased. The names
you suggested like "Queen
City" or "Shenandoah" are
fucking lame as hell. Oh
wow Queen City high
school, that really rolls off
the tongue huh? Or better
yet, fucking "Shenandoah"
high school lol. Good luck
getting the ethnic students
at your school to pronounce
that correctly. That'll be
shortened to some ghetto
slang like "Shendo" or
"Doah" within a year.
I chose Robert E. Lee because I'm tired
of apologizing for shit that happened
150 years ago. Every culture on earth
has engaged in slavery, we have
nothing to be sorry for except that we
didn't have the courage to ship them
back when we were done. I'm not sorry
for my past. You can't erase history.
Race is real and White people are
getting tired of your bullshit. Stop
fucking with us.
24401 Sham Ibar Queen City High School Love High School We need more love
24401 Shamir Ibar Queen City High School Bruce Lee High School
It was the second best alternative to
Queen City. I really think Queen City is
the most reasonable choice.
24401 Justin Ibar Queen City High School Jet Lee
24477 Wendy Ibarra Queen City High School
I think that would be a good sounding
appropriate name for the high school.
24401 idk idk Queen City High School it’s different
22802 Nesi Ikote Staunton High School Staunton High suits it better
24401 Samantha Iles Queen City High School Robert E lee Why change, history is histiry

24401 Starla Ingraham Queen City High School I like it the best
24440 Amanda Ingram Shenandoah High School
Colonial W Gooch High
School
Colonial Govener of VA, William Gooch
was the husband of Lady Rebecca
Staunton. (Responsible for the name
Staunton Va.).
24401 Ashlee Ingram Valley High School Lee High School
Lee High school because most of us all
call it Lee High when we are asked what
school we went to and the it could not
have the connection with the General
24477 Mike Inmon Blue Ridge High Scool We live next to the Blue Ridge
24421 Patsy Irby Staunton High School No other suggestions It is the original name of the high school
23980 Kim Irving Queen City High School
There is already a Shenandoah Hs. That
would be confusing
22980 Dave Irving Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
Non-controversial and represents the
area the school is located.
24401 Debbie Irwin Queen City High School Staunton High School n/a
I chose Queen City because it runs deep
with the City's roots without being
offensive and it is still descriptive
enough because I feel "Valley" names
are too broad. I chose Staunton High
School because it follows the patterns
of the surrounding school systems i.e.
(Waynesboro High School,
Harrisonburg High School, Broadway
High School, etc.)
24477 Lacey Iskrzak Queen City High School Its the best option.
20855 Lois Iten Bostrom Shenandoah High School Staunton High School
I think that a reference to the location
is neutral
24401 Isaac Izzillo Queen City High School Valley High School Not sure
24401 K J Queen City High School
I don’t like Queen City HS,
but you’re making me pick
one. Robert E Lee High
School
If you delete any part of history, you’re
doomed to repeat it. It will cost more
money than I can imagine to change
the name when it comes to how many
places it will have to happen.
24401 kayden jackson Queen City High School mountin view high i like the name alot
24401 Christopher Jackson Queen City High School Sounds great.
24401 Chris Jackson Queen City High School Staunton High School Change it back to what it used to be
24401 Dayshaun Jackson
Terry Davis Memorial High
School
He inspired me to become a
programmer so I think he should be on
da school, ya know.
22980 AJ Jackson Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School The city name / the area’s name
24401 Kianne Jackson Cynthia Gray High School
The name I suggested says it all..
Cynthia Gray represented everything
Robert E Lee was.
24401 Elizabeth Jackson Staunton High School Staunton City High School
It follows the norm of naming schools
after where they are located. Generic.
22401 Nyasia Jackson Queen City High School It represents the school well
24401 Cassi Jackson Staunton High School Robert Lee High School Keep the school the same name
24401 Debbie Jacobs Queen City High School
Staunton calls itself the Queen City -
just makes complete sense to name the
high school Queen City
24401 Makayla Jacobs Queen City High School Middle city high school
It’s the city in the middle of
Harrisonburg and Roanoke or between
Charlottesville and Harrisonburg
22033 Ashley Jacobs Staunton High School It's the name of the town.
24401 Steve Jacobs Queen City High School Valley High School Robert E Lee high school Suck my ass
24486 haha jahash Queen City High School n/a i didn’t like any others
24401 Nadia Jalloh Shenandoah Valley High School No Sounds good
PJ James Queen City High School Great name for a great city
22980 Bonnie James Queen City High School Because of the Harry Potter festival
24401 Elizabeth James Queen City High School Staunton High School
Queen City is a fierce powerful name
like our school. Staunton is a simple
compromise.
24401 Nikki Jamison Staunton High School SHS is easy and its in Staunton
24401 Elias Jarvinen Staunton High School
Woodrow Wilson High
School
These names are most relevant to
Staunton in my opinion
24401 Rebekah Jaskolka Staunton High School
There is already a Shenandoah high
school in Shenandoah, most of the
local high schools are named after the
city they are in so Staunton High School
makea the most sense, since the Lee
name could not be kept.
24401 Hugh Jass Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Valley High School
Bingo Bob's House of
Boogers Just because.
24401 Hugh Jazz Valley High School White Guilt High School It's honest
24401 Kira Jean Queen City High School Queen City Knights Because its a great name
22827 Brian Jefferson Staunton High School Robert E. Lee
History needs to be remembered and
Lee was a great Virginian!
22827 William Jeffrey Queen City High School
This is the first name that came to mind
before I realized it was in the list.
Seems perfect for a Staunton school
24401 Jeni Jelsma Queen City High School ?
Queen City High sounds really cool &
top knotch.
24401 Dakota Jenkins Queen City High School
Queen City High School
Royals
It's sounds more unique than other
schools and isn't problematic.
Moreover if we use Queen City High
School Royals or some variation of that
name, we can keep the color scheme,
mascots can be a king and a queen
(diversity) and it's not politically
incorrect.
24401 Nina Jenkins Queen City High School
Cooler name better than staunton,
staunton is named after women who
owned slaves
24401 Bob Jenkins Staunton High School Zippy High School Its the namelf the city. Makes sense.
22003 Elizabeth Jenkins Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Liked them best
24401 Tyrese Jenkins Queen City High School
I think the name fits with the city and
school.
24401 Jenn Jenn Robert E Lee High School
I do not support the change and it will
reflect when voting for the next school
board.
24401 Sarah Jennings Queen City High School Staunton High School Representing the city
24401 Mary Jensen Staunton High School Statler High Best names
24401 Dale Jensen Staunton High School It honors the city and its residents
24401 Arianna Jensen-Wachspress Shenandoah Valley High School Francis Collins High School
Francis Collins is a R.E. Lee alumni and a
noteworthy scientist in the geneticist
community. In 1993, Collins headed the
Human Genome Project, a
transformative scientific innovation
that allowed humans to identify
thousands of diseases from DNA. He is
currently the Director of the National
Institutes of Health (NIH). By renaming
the high school to “Francis Collins High
School,” the Staunton community
would set a precedence and recognize
the importance of honoring science,
innovation, and technology, leading to
a positive progression of our future.
24401 Mariah Jensen-Wachspress Statler High School
The Statler Brothers are a prominent
part of Staunton history
24401 Stacy Jessee Robert E Lee
If Staunton wants to erase history then
you have no right profiting of history ,
change the next of everything in
Staunton .also this is the greatest
display of ignorance from our so called
leaders .

Bob Johnbobson Queen City High School Midpoint It ain't racist.
24401 Jasmin Johnson Queen City High School
Queen City High School is a good name
because the color Blue is now Royal
Blue just like the name of the high
school.
24401 Sarabeth Johnson Staunton High School
Keep it simple. Represents where we
live
22969 leia johnson Queen City High School lee high school
if you erase history its just going to
repeate. and if you change the names
of the southern genrals you need to
change the northern ones too or other
wise its discriminatory. robert e. lee
was a crediful general, even though he
may have been on the losing side
does'nt mean he was a bad person.
24401 Hailey johnson Queen City High School none
All of the students at lee agree that it is
a cool and interesting name.
24401 Rachel Johnson Staunton High School makes sense
24401 Hannah Johnson Queen City High School Robert E Lee High School
While I find it pointless to change the
name of the high school, out of the
provided options Queen City H.S
sounds the best. I dont understand why
it's bad to have a school named after a
southern general, but naming a school
after a brewery is just fine.
24401 Billy Johnson Queen City High School Staunton High School Lee high School
Because I didn't wnt to vote and I
choose random names

24477 Brandy Johnson Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Valley High School
Shenandoah High sounds too much like
it would be in that county. Staunton
High is super generic. I like all of the
other choices equally =)
24401 Tamika Johnson Queen City High School
Queen City High School Royals so these
kids can feel like kings & queens & get
past all this negativity!!
24401 Abigail Johnson Staunton High School Simplicity and accuracy
24401 Carol Johnson Queen City High School Staunton High School Henry Lee High.
Henry Lee was the father's of Robert E
also a Revolutionary War hero and
governor of Virginia. It would be a
minimalistic name change and perhaps
save a little money on rebranding. I
also prefer Queen City since there is
already a Shenandoah High School
24401 Mary johnson Staunton High School It's better than the other options.
24401 Katherine Johnson Staunton High School Most simple
24401 Shanna Johnson Queen City High School Staunton High School They're relevent to the city.

If anyone deserves a school named
after them its Coach Hatcher for all the
hard work and success he has brought
to R E Lee
22980 Elizabeth Johnson Queen City High School Lee High Queen City is unique
22939 Reggie Johnson Staunton High School Francis Collins
Staunton Hign is logical. To honor Dr

great Stauntonian
24401 Megan Johnson Queen City High School Staunton High School Queen City fits well with our town.

24401 LaKeisha Jones Staunton High School
I believe that Staunton High School
would be an appropriate name. I feel
that it would give our school a unique
identity, while also conforming with
other school systems within the area.
22401 Bob Jones Ronald W. Reagan Great former POTUS
24401 Andrea Jones Staunton High School Staunton High School I think it’s a good fit

Staunton High School makes the most
sense for Staunton City
24401 Simon Jones Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School

544 James Jones

High For our posterity
24401 Ruth Jones Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School
It was a big deal to remove a name tied
with racism from the school. Any
replacement names should avoid
similar ties (Staunton). I know it's the
name of the city, but there's an
opportunity to do better. Valley doesn't
seem specific enough
24401 Lindsey Jones Queen City High School Best option
24401 Jerry Jones Staunton High School Francis Collins High School
The town is called Staunton and Francis
Collins was the head of one of the most
important scientific investigations of
our time.
24401 mary jones Queen City High School Staunton High School
booker t. washington high
school i think it would fit the school well
24401 Kaitlyn Jones Staunton High School
Best describes the location of the
school.
24401 Charles Jones Staunton High School
Nearby high schools are called
waynesboro and Harrisonburg high
school. Naming the high school after
the city it is in causes much less
confusion.
24401 Jojo Jones Staunton High School Fuck the city of Staunton Fuck the board
24482 Keri jones Staunton High School works for other communities
24401 Susan Jones Staunton High School Simple & factual
24401 Rick Jones Lee
Because Lee is just a name, doesn't
have any attachment to anything, no
person or entity. It's just a name Lee,
could mean anybody or anything.

24401 Kenneth Jordan Valley High School It's different
24401 Patsy Jordan Schoolie McSchoolface Boaty McBoatface
24401 Shannon Jordan Queen City High School Staunton High School Francis S. Collins High School
Staunton High School is the logical
choice given that it is the original name
and it falls in line with other area
schools being named after the
community they serve, Queen City High
School is elegant and inoffensive, and if
we must name the School after a
person I feel that Francis Collins is a
Stauntonian worthy of recognition who
has made positive impacts on the local
and global community.
24401 Sharon Jordan Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Staunton High was the Original name
24477 Claire Josefson Queen City High School Can keep the mascot and it sounds cool
24479 Hunter Joseph Staunton High School
Staunton High School puts you right on
the map; people will know exactly
where this school is. Also, I believe it
was the original name.
22821 Emily Joseph Robert E. Lee High School
Because we can’t chanhe a schools
name just because of the person it is
named after. You can’t erase history.
24401 djkdm jrjdmd Queen City High School N/A simple
24401 Justine Juart Staunton High School Restoring the former name
24401 Stanley Juchno Staunton High School It belongs to the city of Staunton.

24401 Donald Judy Staunton High School
It is plain, accurate, and should be both
uncontroversial and able to become a
new source of pride for ALL students &
ALL of the broader community.

A famous Southern author/personality
whom we can all support!

Staunton or Shenandoah Valley are

24401 Shayna Keagy Staunton High School
All the local high schools around the
area are named after their town.
24401 Mark Kearney Staunton High School Francis Collins High School
Francis Collins is from Staunton and has
done many great things.
24401 Jude Keaton Queen City High School Because
24401 Jo Keeler Staunton High School
it’s in the city of Staunton, so it make
sense to have it the same. Ex-
Harrisonburg High
24401 tanya keigley Queen City High School Harry Potter High well duh!
22846 Ali Keister Queen City High School most original
Kek kek Adolf Hitler High School This dude chill
24401 Amanda Keller Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School

DeJarnett. Nickname( no
balls)
Because those members are nothing
but spineless whomps who are out of
touch with real life
24401 Lawrence Kelley Staunton High School
A school should be named after its
location.
24401 nicole kelley Queen City High School
it’s inclusive and has nothing to do with
politics
24421 david kellison t.j. collins
i had 3 grandchildren graduate from
lee. t.j.collins was a great architec who
designed very elite homes and

Francis Sellers Collins High
School
Dr. Francis S. Collins is a graduate of
R.E. Lee High School. He is director of
the National Institutes of Health and he
led the Human Genome Project. He is a
recipient of the Presidential Medal of
Freedom. He is a highly accomplished
graduate and could be an inspiration to
future students.
24401 Maureen Kelly Staunton High School
I’d like the school named for its
location. Also, since it was named
Staunton High School before, I think
reclaiming the name makes the most
sense. Some of the choices suggest too
broad an area for the school’s location.
24401 Willow Kelly Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Valley High School Names related to the land and area
24401 Colleen Kelly Staunton High School Valley High School simplicity, tradition
24401 Madison Kelly Queen City High School Staunton High School
Brings more recognition to the city.
Staunton is welcoming, full of small

24401 Dillan Kennedy Queen City High School Staunton is the queen city
24401 Rhianna Kennedy Queen City High School Staunton High School

the location.
22980 Tim Kent Kent Robert e.Lee It's the name it should be!
24401 Amy Kerr Queen City High School Robert E Lee
If you are going to change the name
don’t go from one slave owner to
another.
24401 Jeff Kerr Staunton High School
Because being my tax dollars are going
to pay for the school so unless very tax
payer in the Valley are funding it then
keep it local
24401 Isa Kerr Queen City High School
Robert E Lee High School
(most preferred) Definitely
not Staunton High, Staunton
is named after Lady
Staunton (whom owned
slaves) so if you are
changing the name (which is
dumb) don’t go from one
slave owner to another.
The name doesn’t not need to change.
Let all of Staunton vote rather than 6
people to decide the future of our
school.
24401 John Kerschke Valley High School Robert E. Lee High School
Because this whole thing is a waste of
tax payer money. Do something that
really makes a difference with our
money please.
24401 Katie Kesecker Staunton High School
I think Staunton High School is the
most logical name if you are going to
change it. I really wish it would not be
changed. But naming it after the city it
is in seems classic and simple.
22939 Jason Kessler Schooley McSchoolface It's the best
24401 Rachel Kessler Robert E Lee High School
I think it is not necessary to change the
name of the school.
22980 Diane Kester Queen City High School
student lead, and it is the nickname of
our city
24401 Angie Key Lee High Don't want named changed
24401 Jordan Keyser Staunton High School Francis S. Collins High School
Francis Collins is a staunton native and
a graduate of the high school with a
great history of scientific achievement.
22980 Paige Ki Staunton High School Most logical--name it for the city
24401 Michele Kielty Staunton High School
It’s the town we live In. An undeniably
unifying name
24401 Kathy Kier Staunton High School Its a high school and it is in Staunton
24401 David Kier Queen City High School colter high location
24401 Lark Kier Staunton High School Prodigy High School
A name that everyone has in common.
After our city.
24401 Brooklyn Kier Queen City High School
I feel this is the best option this way we
can keep the royal blue and white
colors. And our mascot can be kings
and queens.
24401 Jayln Kier Queen City High School
I think we should change it to Queen
City because many companies are
named that in Staunton.
22602 Pede Kier Staunton High School
Staunton High School makes the most
sense and can forever remain.
77521 James Kilburn Robert E. Lee High School
General Lee was a respected figure in
the History of the Staunton Area. I see
no good reason to consider changing
the name except to please a few
people, upset a lot of people and, in my
opinion, waste a significant amount of
the taxpayers money.
24482 Heather Killen Francis Collins
Mr. Collins is a Staunton native who has
made large scientific impact
24401 Bonnie Kimmett Francis S. Collins
Staunton native whose work impacts all
humanity (inclusiveness)
24401 Anne Kimmett Staunton High School
It is the only name that could not
possibly offend anyone and we do live
in Staunton after all so why not name it
after our town.
24401 Tina Kinard Shenandoah High School Donald J. Trump High School
Both names are the greatest in the
world
24440 Sam Kincade Donald trump Leader of country
24479 Allison Kincaid Staunton High School It’s the best option
24401 Mac Kincheloe Queen City High School
Just wanted to expand on tye fact that
royal blue would play well with it all.
Also I am seeing lots of supportt from
orher studnets.
24401 Alan Kincheloe Staunton High School Gypsy High School
The sports teams could be the Gypsy
Ramblers
24401 Sharon Kincheloe Staunton High School Seven Hills High School
Staunton is situated on seven hills, so it
will be geological . . For examplelike
Buffalo Gap
24401 Mac Kincheloe Queen City High School Queen City Royals !!!!!
No potentially problematic names,
unique to the area, a fun and cool
name. Go Royals!!!
24401 Anne King Staunton High School Lee High School
Why not have a referendum instead of
four persons determining this; allow tax
payers input as they will footing the bill
for new school name and all the
changes that go with it.
22980 Erica King Queen City High School
Rebecca Staunton High
School
Who the town is named after and not
may schools are named after women!
24477 Carl King Staunton High School Lee High
I’m a history buff And you can’t change

our cant change history
24401 Caleb King Queen City High School Good mascot, non offensive, catchy
24401 Ayaunna King Queen City High School Staunton High School No
Names well represent us as a city and a
community
24401 Tami King Staunton High School
I like Staunton High because it
identifies very simply who we are.
Coincides with other area high school
names (Waynesboro, Harrisonburg,
Stuarts Draft, etc.). For the record, I
cast a strong vote against Queen City.
24401 Olivia King Queen City High School I think it fits the school
24401 Lacy King, Jr. Staunton High School Robert E. Lee High School
You are changing history for your own
purposes
24401 Amanda Kinkead Valley High School
I like incorporating our location in the
Shenandoah Valley but we’re close
enough to Shenandoah County schools
possibly create confusion if
“Shenandoah” is in the name. I believe
we need to move forward for our
community to heal and Staunton High
School and Robert E Lee High School
are in the past. We need a fresh start
for the current and future students.
24401 Kendra Kiracofe Staunton High School
So people know who are students are
and where they are from.
28146 Barrie Kirby Staunton High School
I am a 1974 graduate af Lee High.
Staunton High School is the most
specoanf distinctive name. More than
one municipality called itself the Queen
City (i.e. Charlotte). There are many
valleys and many high schools in the
Shenandoah Valley. The names
Shenandoah High, Shenandoah Valley
High, and Valley High are too general.
24401 Eric Kiremsky Staunton High School
Robert E Lee High school. If
in 150 years people look
back at Facebook as a means
for pedifiles to lure children
does that mean everyone
who used it was a pedofile?
What if people who change
these names in 100 years
are deemed evil for
changing history? Are you a
bad person?
You cannot change the past. Lee was a
native son to Virginia who was offered
to be in charge of the union forces. His
loyality was to his home state of
Virginia. He was a brilliant military
leader and deserves to be honored as a
Virginian. Congress passed an act
saying ALL veterans from the Civil war
are American veterns. This is stripping a
state hero’s title because our history
isn’t ideal. Ulysses S Grant is on the $50
bill and he came up with the concept of
total war which killed innocent civilians
and destroyed towns. His
administration during his presidency
was loaded with corruption, but he is
considered a “hero”. Social norms
change over time and we will never
have a clean history.
24401 priest kirk Staunton High School idk
24401 Marcelle Kirkland Queen City High School Staunton High School
They reflect the city far better then R.E.
Lee. It’s more inclusive
24401 Catherine Kirkland Staunton High School
It was what the school used to be called
back in the day.
24401 Brittany Kirkman Staunton High School Obama high school
A lot of high schools are named after
presidents. Who better to honer than
the first black president. This school
name change is what change and
progress is all about!!! Yay Staunton!!!
24401 Richard Kirtland Shenandoah Valley High School Francis Collins High Founder of the Human Genome Project

24401 Hanna Kivlighan Queen City High School Staunton High School
Not offensive. Good names for our
town.
24401 Mia Kivlighan Staunton High School
It is simple, it helps brand the city, and
it has historical significance as the
original name of the school.
24401 Isabel Kivlighan Staunton High School
I grew up in Staunton, and I think it
would be nice if the high school
represented the city
24401 Joan Kivlighan Staunton High School Robert E Lee High School
I have a picture of William Owen a
Kivlighan, Class of 1921, football
picture, my father in law. I do not think
we should disregard our past.
24401 James Kivlighan Staunton High School I like the name
24401 Laura Kivlighan Staunton High School
This was the name before and it makes
the most sense. Let’s be proud of our
city.
24401 Mary Kivlighan Staunton High School Original and has no political conotations
24401 James Kivlighan, Jr Staunton High School
We are Staunton and this name
completely includes ALL of us.
24401 AAron klein Queen City High School no no
24401 Tella Klein Lee High School
The school is able to retain the FamLee
pride. The alumni is able to keep some
of their school name.
24401 patrick klein Queen City High School queen city becUSE IT MAKES SENCE
24401 Kaya Klein Queen city high school
Because at one point we were
called.queen city plus it sounds nice
24477 Fay Knicley John Lewis High School
Because of his history associated with
the founding of Staunton
22936 Walter Koch Harper Lee High School
Honors an important and relevant
author, and it's an easy name change
that saves money!
24401 Michael Koch
Barbara Hunter Grant
Memorial High School
Barbara H. Grant was a pillar of the
Staunton community, serving on the
committee that built the Gypsy Hill Park
pool, the Board of Trustees for the
Woodrow Wilson Birthplace, and the
Blackfriars Playhouse Board of
Directors. Naming the high school after
Ms. Grant would serve to continue to
honor her memory and would follow
the tradition of naming Staunton City
Schools after prominent community
figures.
24401 Lianne Kochis Staunton High School Previous name of high school
24401 Carter Koehn Queen City High School Staunton High School School
Subjective just to this area. What about
the students that don’t?
24401 Sarah Koerner Queen City High School It’s unique and sets the school apart.
24401 Becky Kohler Staunton High School
Connects to sense of place, no
controversy, no schools with same
name
24401 Marc Kokosky Queen City High School Staunton High School
Represents the city of Staunton as a
locale, not any individual. Any of the
“Valley” options are too generic.
Staunton is but one small part of the
larger Shen Valley
24401 Daniel Kolecki Queen City High School
A city with one school should name it in
a way that everyone who lives there
can identify with it.
24401 Peter Kolinsky Queen City High School most creative name
24401 Jamie Kollar Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
Naming the school after the area it
serves is appropriate and in keeping
with other area high schools
(Waynesboro, Albemarle,
Charlottesville, etc).
24401 anna kopia Queen City High School the best choice
24401 Stephanie Kopia Staunton High School Simplicity
24401 Brian Kopia Staunton High School
Mascot idea: Staunton
Sabers
Staunton High School because it
personalizes where we are and what
city out teams represent. Staunton
Sabers as a mascot (sabertooth tiger) .
Because it’s different than anything
around us. A sabertooth tiger with
huge fangs would simply be tough
24401 Sarah Koska Queen City High School Staunton High School Valley High School They were the options I preferred.
24401 Mari-Peyton Kouchinsky Queen City High School
R.E. Lee never personally bothered me,
but I will always support trying to
change something if it bothers
someone else and has no negative
impact on others. I think Queen City
has a nice ring to it and sounds magical.
Good luck!
24401 Sophie Kozlowski Queen City High School Staunton High School
Queen City defines our town and is all
inclusive
24401 Meghan Kramer Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Aretha Franklin High School
Aretha Franklin was a legend, a shining
example of humanity, and a beautiful
person. She’s a figure that deserves to
be honored, but that shouldn’t be
controversial.
24477 Ben Krassoi Robert E Lee High Dont change the name
Cody Kratzer Staunton High School Ricky Bobby High School.
Ricky Bobby is an infinitely more
interesting, and inspirational figure for
kids to emulate than a general that
fought for a failed slave-state.
24401 melissa Kreusch Valley High School Robert E. Lee High School
CAUSE IT IS PART OF HISTORY. Erasing
it is the same as telling people nothing
we learn in history class is true.
24401 Sandra Krichbaum Queen City High School
A name to honor the Native
Americans. Doesn't have to
be a person.
If you plan to honor Lee's history,
honor Booker T And Thomas Jefferson
24401 William Krupnik Queen City High School Staunton High School Sounds good
24401 Brandon Krusz Queen City High School
Deep history of Staunton and Augusta

24401 Ronda Laird Staunton High School Represents the city
24431 V Lam Staunton High School
Staunton High School is a
general/generic name and doesn't
favor any individual and therefore
shouldn't be offensive to ANYONE.

change, everyone does love Staunton
and is proud to call it home.
24401 Sophia Lanctot Queen City High School
Honestly, it’s the coolest on the list.
Think about the possibilities—go
Queen City Royals!
24467 Brad Landes Lee Best name

Some others are too generic
(Shenandoah) and Queen City High
School sounds fake.
24401 Elizabeth Lane Staunton High School
We are very proud of Staunton and
think the name would reflect that.
24401 John Lane Staunton High School High School
Staunton puts us in line with other local
high schools named after their

and I did graduate.
24401 Laura Law Queen City High School Not to name it after a person.
24401 Elizabeth Lawhorn Robert E. Lee High School
Because Staunton is already considered
the Queen City.

Changing the name is wasteful and
serves no purpose.
22980 Donna Lawhorne Lee Changing the original name offends me
22801 Alyssa Lawhorne Staunton High School It makes the most sense.
24401 Alecia Lawhorne
The money should be spent on
education, not something as

Why change it..why did it come to a
change??
22980 Melissa Lawson Shenandoah Valley High School Robert E. Lee
I believe Robert E. Lee is the best name
for the school. Why change it? It will
be costly for all sports uniforms to be
changed. Then there’s the mascot to
choose and what the team name shall
be. I don’t really like any of the name
suggestions you generated for this
survey. Leave the name alone.
24401 Adam Layer Queen City High School Robert E lee high school

22812 STEVEN LAYMAN ROBERT E LEE HS IT SHOULD STAY THE SAME
24421 Brenna Layne Queen City High School
It's time to reflect the diversity of our

Queen City has a great ring to it, and
reflects the positive side of Staunton's
history.

Mostly a vote against the ones I didn't
pick. Collins in reference to the
architect and the scientist.
24401 Matt Ledford Queen City High School
It embodies Staunton’s history as the
Queen City and is non-controversial.
The Queen City is someone everyone

Nothing wrong with it, why destroy

24401 Harleigh Lee Staunton High School Lee High School
Take off Robert E. And leave it as Lee
High because that is how everyone
knows it, and use LEE as an acronym for
something educational or fun :)
24401 Robert E Lee Queen City High School Robert E Lee Highschool
Because that has been the name for
more than 100 years and it makes
absolutely no sense to chang it now
because of the way it might make some
one feel.

It makes sense the school is in
Staunton. It's just like Waynesboro high
school and most other City schools.
27960 Deborah Leonard Staunton High School
It was the original name. Even though I
graduated from RE Lee, I do not have a
sentimental attachment to that name.
24482 James Leonard Staunton High School Francis Collins High School
There is only one high school in
Staunton so logic dictates that it be
named Staunton High School.
24482 Cathy Leonatd Staunton High School
Perfect name for only one high school
in Staunton.
24401 Angie Lerz Staunton High School
4 aholes decided the name has to be

Staunton native; graduate of Staunton
public schools; noted geneticist who
led the project to map the human
genome; longtime head of NIH; noted
and lauded author and philosopher;
awarded Presidential Medal of
Freedom; will go down in history for his
contributions to health, science and
knowledge.
12561 Barbara Lescure Stirewalt Staunton High School F.J. Collins High
I graduated from Lee. Staunton HS
makes sense. I suggested a famous
local name.
24401 Dale Leslie Staunton High School Gypsy high school We play at gypsy hill park
24401 Amanda Lewin Staunton High School Robert E. Lee
I am a graduate and the name should
remain the same but if it must change it
should be named after the city.
23060 Lyric Lewis Staunton High School Rita S. Wilson High School
I like Queen City but not sure what the
male teams would be called. I think
Staunton High would keep it simple.
There's one public high school in
Staunton. My other name suggestion is
for Rita S. Wilson High because I do feel
that my grandmother made many
contributions to making Staunton a
better place for everyone to live. She
was a fierce advocate for change and
treating all people with equality, dignity
and respect.
24401 Kendra Lewis Queen City High School
Unique name that also says how much
we value and love our city
24459 Ray Lewis XXXTentacion Memorial High Because xxxtentacion is very inspiring
24401 Brian Lewis Robert E. Lee Because that's what it is.
24401 Steven Liblick Robert E Lee High School
Staunton does not have a lot of things
that the community can get behind, but
having a high school that has history to
the area and state, should not be
overlooked! Just because he was on the
wrong side of history, locals here just
want something to get behind, and
obviously the high school is it!
24401 Shaun Liccione Staunton High School
it seems the best option, based upon
how other schools are named after
their town..
24401 Gabby Liccione Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Lee High Compromise
22812 Lorie Lichtenwalner Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School it's inclusive of everyone
24421 Jean Liggett Staunton High School
The location name pinpoints where the
school is located. Shenandoah makes
me think of Shenandoah County. We
are only a small part of the valley.
Queen does not do anything for me
either. Call it what it is - a high school
in STAUNTON, Va.
24401 Lawrence Lightfoot Staunton High School Staunton Queen city High

22802 Tommy Lightner Robert E Lee High School
You can not change history so people
need to stop destroying history
24477 Star Lilley Robert E Lee High School
I don’t care what you call the school-
but DO NOT use tax payer money to
change it. If you want to change it, let
the “name hurts” victims pay for it out
of their own pockets and raise the
money through private donations. Tax
payer money news to be reserved for
the use of the students educations and
programs that will actually target the
problems that cause the “hurt” such as
racism and bullying, drugs, etc..
Spending money on changing the name
of this high school takes away from the
children and is highly irresponsible. You
all should be ashamed of yourselves
voting Against the MAJORITY of the
city. Sincerely, a vey disappointed
former Staunton resident
24401 Terri Lilley R.E. Lee No need to change. History. Racism felt.
24401 Kristen Lillian Staunton High School Don’t change it No other option

Politically Correct Valley

Because its stupid that we are changing
the name in the first place surprised
the school isnt going to be named
Martin Luther King Jr. High School
because anything that has to do with
1860's names or history anymore gets
changed because its "racist"
24401 Cathy Lively Staunton High School
It’s perfectly descriptive. It is the only
high school for Staunton. And
Staunton is getting attention on the
national stage. It’s a way to be proud
of our city and school.

24401 Suzanne Lochner Queen City High School Blackfriars High School
Staunton calls itself "the Queen City".
The influence on Stuanton's economy

very impactful and will continue to be.

The statler brothers are one of the

22801 Lohr Queen City High School N/A
It fits in with a lot of the names used
downtown, plus it's unique!
24472 Marty Lohrey Robert E Lee High School The name should stay
24472 Patty Lohrey Robert E Lee High School It suits!!!
24401 Ben Lokey Staunton High School Robert E Lee
So much history with that name so
many great things has happened.Now
people just want to trash all those great
individuals who wore the colors and
gave there everything for the school.

22812 Stephanie Long Queen City High School Reflective of history
22980 Sarah Loomis Staunton High School Schooly McSchoolHell
Cause anything with Shenandoah or
Valley is too broad - 'Staunton' is on par
with the neighboring high schools
(Waynesboro HS, Stuarts Draft HS, etc)
24401 Jacquel Lopez Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton Area High School
It’s in Staunton and I would prefer
anything over the glorification of
people who supported/fought for the
enslavement of my ancestors.
28675 John Lorentz Patch High School
General Alexander Patch had direct ties
to Staunton as professor of military
science and tactics at Staunton Military
Academy. His family stayed in
Staunton during his WWII combat
tours. If you read his history, you will
see his historic contribution to our
victory against facism. This may be a
middle ground, replacing a general who
history has scorned, with a forgotten
local hero. He was welcomed home by
Mayor Grubert and thousands of
Stauntonians lining the streets for a
ticker tape parade. In this time when
facism seems to once again be on the
rise and heros seem hard to find, we
have one in General Patch.
24401 Joann Loring Staunton High School Collins That was the old name
24401 Sarah Lott Staunton High School Valley High School Francis Collins High School
Staunton- orig name; Valley- because
it’s funny because a child’s book has
Valley High; Francis Collins- bc he
mapped human genome and lives in
Staunton and is from here
24401 sara lotts Queen City High School no
queen city dose not use any names or
generals. We could also use the same
color since we will be the Queen City
Royals
24401 Donna Lotts LEE High
If Robert E Lee us so offensive, which
shouldn't be then drop it and make it
Lee its on most of the uniforms that
way. So sad that out of a whole city
only 6 people can make this decision.
#famLEE for life.
24401 Beth Lotts Lee High School
It is cut down from the previous name
however it isn’t symbolic to once
specific person. And there would be no
need to change the uniforms or
anything school related that has “LEE”
on it.
24401 Dawn Lotts TJ Collins High School
As a member of RE LEE Class of 1992, I
would like to see the school named
after a true visionary of our town. TJ
Collins lived here, built here, owned a
business here, raised his family here,
and was the architect of the first RE LEE
High School. His vision created our
tourism. TJ Collins High School. Where
You Build Your Future.

24401 Mary Low Robert E Lee high School it should not have been changed
24401 Katie Low Queen City High School Staunton High School
The only high school in Staunton can be

to Staunton in 1915.
24401 Ron Lowman Staunton High School robert e lee common sense
24401 Maggie Lowman Valley High School John Lewis highschool
John lewis is tye founder of staunton

named John Lewis Auditorium
24401 Denise Lowman Staunton High School
It identifies our community and
therefore unites it. Has there been any
consideration to making the change
effective when the new building is
ready? Seems to make sense
monetarily. Change things once. There
will be money in the budget of the new
project for signage, etc. why should we
used tax dollars twice. Also might be a
great way to begin the new identity.

proud to be associated with Lee High.
24421 Morgan Lyle Queen City High School Staunton High School
Staunton High School was the original
name of the school. I see no harm in
reverting to a name that’s meaning is
derived from the name of the town it is
located in. The same goes for Queen
City High School. Staunton is becoming
quite the tourist attraction and markets
itself as being the Queen City. I see no
reason why the local high school
shouldn’t reflect this.

24401 Anne Lynch Staunton High School
By naming the school after the city, it is
clear where the school is located.
24401 Hannah Lynch Staunton High School

Staunton High school is simple & to the
point.
24401 Lou Lynch Staunton High School name the school after the city

24401 C M Queen City High School Lee High
No longer representing a person but
retains the integrity of the prior name

22980 Michael M Staunton High School Barack Obama High School
A 180-degree turn from naming a

school. You will be voted out.
24401 Augusta Markley Staunton High School
My husband, three children, and two
grandchildren went to Lee. I hate to
not have the Lee High name, but if
changing is necessary, by far the best
choice is Staunton High School. I would
like it to be an individual's name or
Queen City.
24401 Robert Markley Staunton High School
I vote for the name Staunton High
School if we have to lose the name R. E.
Lee High. One grandparent and both
my parents went to Staunton High

grandchildren went to R.E. Lee High.

24401 Emmett Martin Queen City High School Sounds good
24401 Candace Martin Staunton High School
Because every other high school in our
area is named after the city it is in and
we should do
24401 Madeleine Martin Queen City High School
The "Queen City" nickname is very
catchy but isn't really featured enough
around town. The other four choices
are pretty forgettable.
24401 Larry Martin Staunton High School I’m not a racist
22980 Brendan Martin Robert E. Lee High School .

It's clear, concise, and if I have read
correctly, it was the original name of
the school.
24401 Jordanne Mathews Staunton High School
Staunton is a small town and deserves a
highschool named after it.
24440 Heather Mathis Robert E Lee High School
Its history, no matter how hard you try
to erase it or rewrite the history it
remains the same. We should be
learning from the history not trying to
erase it because people are offened. If
thats the case its time to rename ALOT
of bridges, roads, and land marks.
Please leave history alone!

24401 BECKY MCCRAY Staunton High School Located in Staunton
24401 Dianna Mccray Staunton High School It's located in Staunton

Since we have lost the name of our

they can do is to give us Lee High
School!!
24401 Scott McDaniel Bobbie Lee High School
Poor decision on the school boards part
to rewrite history. They will be voted
out.
22939 Justin McDaniel Queen City High School It's sounds cooler
24482 Devin Mcdonald Queen City High School Unity high school
If we are going to blatently rename a
high school than it should be renamed
to stand for the outcome we are
hoping for. It should be a reminder of
what we want to acheive since this
name change may insight more division

Angel Mcdonald Schoolie mcschoolface Schoolie mcschoolface

24401 Gary McDorman Staunton High School That is the only one that makes sense.
24401 Gary McDorman Staunton High School Lee High School
Save money keep fighting Leeman as
your mascot
24401 Katherine McElveen Staunton High School Robert E. Lee
If the name has to be changed, it
should be changed back to what the
school name was originally.
24401 Aaron Mcfarlane Staunton High School Lee High School
I fell the name should not have been
change and it should have been votes
on by the citizens of the city and not by
the school board members. It is very
obvious that they are not representing
the citizens of the city on what they
want.
24401 Alyssa McFarling Queen City High School Na Still historical! Just now it’s positive :)

24401 Rhett McLaughlin Staunton High School Ulysses S. Grant High School

Shenandoah valley
24401 Khristina Mellon Queen City High School Nice ring to it
24401 Brittany Melton Queen City High School Francis Collins high school
Queen is classy and not going into the
past names that we're during
segregation. Francis Collins is because
he is a Stauntonian scientists to help
represent the community
24401 Brittany Melton Robert E. Lee High School
Leave the name alone, save taxpayers
(like me) money!!! The name hasn't
been an issue until this point.
24482 michael melton Staunton High School Valley High School John Avoli High School He was an excellent mayor
24401 grace melvin Queen City High School
It is a very good comprimise and we
can keep our school colors
24401 Debbie Melvin Staunton High School
Easily identifies where school is located
and not to be confused with another
location. Not offensive.
24401 Grace Melvin Staunton High School
It is not too complicating and relates to
our town, so newcomers would
recognize it.
24401 Heather Mengert Queen City High School Robert E. Lee High School
The fact that the schools original name
is an option, the name used during the
segregation period, blows my mind!
Robert E. Lee isn’t an option, but
Queen City is? Are the students going
to high school or the brewery?
28107 Charlotte Menk Staunton High School Was there before r.e.lee
22827 Autumn Merica Queen City High School
I believe Queen City is a classy name
that perfectly showcases Staunton
24401 Joseph Meslovich Queen City High School Freedom High School
Staunton is the Queen City, and many
people today proclaim the love of
freedom.
24401 Lori Messer Robert E. Lee High School
I don’t feel that the tax payers dollars
should be spent changing the name.
24401 Lori Messer Staunton High School R. E. Lee Highschool
I don't believe that the name should be
changed, nor should my tax dollars be
spent to do so.
Deb Messick A Hamilton High In honor of a great principal
24401 Olivia Messin Queen City High School
Wueen city is a way better name and it
sounds way better.
24401 Julia Meyer Staunton High School Shouldn't offend anyone
24486 Misty Meza Robert E Lee Who's paying for the name change??
22801 Valerie Meza-Cooper Staunton High School
Stuanton High School for a high school
that is located in Staunton City.
24401 MH MHK Lee High
History, recognition, respect for our
heritage.
24430 Sarah Michael Robert E. Lee High School
Can't change history and should've had
the public vote on the change to begin
with!!!
24441 Joseph Michael Ricky Bobby High School
Ricky Bobby is an important southern
figure not weighed down by a history
of racism and oppression. He is a
cultural icon that is better suited to
represent Southern Heritage then Lee.
24401 Alyssa Michaels Staunton High School lee high school So you don’t have to change much
24401 Kayla Mick Queen City High School Lee High School
Because our community feels the need
to waste the tax payer’s money by

i´d rather not want Staunton High
school but its ok
22801 Alexis Miller Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Valley High School
The valley is such a diverse and
culturally rich area, it only makes sense
to name a school, that will hopefully
teach students to respect every walk of
life, to be named after it.
23015 william miller Staunton High School best of the 5
24421 Tess Miller Queen City High School
I wish Staunton was referred to as the
Queen City more often!
24401 markqwan miller Queen City High School just because it could be a better name for the school
24401 Alicia Miller Staunton High School
We are known as Staunton City
Schools, so I have no idea why the high
school would be called anything but
Staunton High School.
24401 Jayden Miller Queen City High School Staunton High School none none
24401 Thomas Miller Staunton High School Bellefonte High, Staunton,VA
Bellefonte High would pay tribute to
early settler and civic leader John Lewis
who named his homestead after a
"beautiful spring", which is the role a
public school might serve as a source of
refreshment and encouragement to
growth.
24401 steve miller Staunton High School makes the most sense of the ones given
24401 Matthew Miller Staunton High School Simple. Don't over-think this.
24401 Gini Miller Barrack Obama High School President
24401 David Miller Staunton High School
This name should not cause much if
any controversy and should begin
healing process!
24401 Chelsea Miller Staunton High School It makes sense.
24401 Brendan Miller Staunton High School Lee high school Sounds the best
24401 John Miller Staunton High School
Schools should not be named after any
one person
24401 Lisa Miller Queen City High School NA The name is distinctive and inclusive
24401 Markqwan Miller Staunton High School Don’t have one Just because
24401 Kendyl Miller Queen City High School
Queen City High School and Staunton
High School are close to the same thing
and are both inclusive. However,
Queen City High School not only
sounds cooler, but fits the idea of us
keeping our “royal” blue color.
24401 Kim Miller Staunton High School NONE
The other names make no sense. Keep
the name consistent with the County
schools.
24472 Ellie Miller Staunton High School Staunton City High School
Because it’s the Staunton City High
School! Very proud of the board for
voting to change the name. My
grandchildren are “Lee High kids and
they support the name change. It
should have never even been named
that in the first place!
24477 Shania Miller Staunton High School Leave it Bc it is history
24401 Sarah Miller Staunton High School na
Most logical name, fits in with rest of
region's high schools
24401 Robert Miller Staunton High School Schooley McSchoolface Most appropriate
22660 Daniel Miller Queen City High School Stanton high school Name of the town city
24401 Megan Miller Staunton High School
I’d like to see the school’s original name
restored.
24401 Kayleigh Miller Robert E. Lee High School
The budget being used on this name
change because it’s all of a sudden out
of the blue offensive to a small group of
people, SHOULD be used to benefit the
students. It should not be used to hush
the crying babies. How old is this
name? This school name is decades old
and NOW it’s a problem. And as I am
aware, it was stated earlier that the
name change would be quite
expensive. Tell me why we need a new
name instead of new books? New
desks? Paying teachers more? New
supplies? More classes? Etc.
24401 James Mills Queen City High School Francis Collins High School
Queen City sounds proud and strong.
Francis Collins promotes knowledge
and inquiry.
24401 Chloe Mills Queen City High School none
this name is not offensive and is
creative
24401 Chris Mills Queen City High School Staunton High School Robert E. Lee High school They sound beetter
24401 Nicholas Milo Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Staunton High School Local pride!
24401 LaShonda Milstead Lee high I don't think it should be changed
97701 Brandi Minium Shenandoah Valley High School
Non-discriminating building
of learning
The school is in the Shenandoah Valley
and my write in, because it’s ridiculous
that the name is being changed
24401 Robert Miska John Lewis High School
The current building was originally John
Kewis Jr H S. and Staunton's founder
was John Lewis.
24401 Jenifer Mitchell Staunton High School
The name "Staunton High School"
depicts only the name of the city in
which it is located; it isn't a
remembrance of the Civil War, nor of
any pior slave owners which could be
negatively impactful toward any
segment of our local society.
24401 Jenny Mitchell Queen City High School Seems fitting!
24401 Kimberly Mitchell Queen City High School
My idea topped the list! Staunton is
the Queen City of the valley. The
mascot could be the Royals. A crown
as the emblem. School colors could
remain the same with possibly
including a little gold when uniforms
needed to be replaced.
24421 Amy Moats Robert E Lee High School He is my ancestor
24401 Quint Moats Queen City High School Staunton High School
These are my choices but I really think
the students should choose the name
24401 Brian Moats Queen City High School
Royal Blue, Not political, Sounds better
than Staunton
24401 ashia moats Queen City High School
The moscot would be Royals, keeping
the blue school color. It sounds the
best, and is another name for
“staunton”
24401 Sharvonne Mobley Staunton High School Because it makes the most sense.
24401 Martha Mocahbee Staunton High School Indicates location of high school
24401 Denise Moclair Staunton High School
WILLIAM “WILLY” J.
FERGUSON
Staunton High School because it was
the original name, William J. Ferguson
to honor the Water can/flower pot
artist
24440 Chris Modlin Queen City High School Staunton High School Robert E. Lee Y'all are dumbasses
24401 Adyn Moehring Staunton High School Staunton City
Having a name like Staunton High
School is normal and fine for a school
name. For extra information, I find it
appropriate to change the mascot as
well. The mascot “Leemen” still
represents Robert E Lee. Changing both
name and mascot will be better.
24401 Aakrama Mohammad Staunton High School
Muammar Mohammed Abu
Minyar Gaddafi High School
my third uncle cousin qaddafi killed by
nato and evil US nation, god is good
24401 Jessica Mondragon Queen City High School
It has a nice sound to it and is a
complete, fresh start.
22952 Jason Mone Valley High School
Mischief and Magic, Gay
Pride High School
That is what the city is now is it
not?????????
24477 Jason Moneymaker Robert E. Lee
Because 80 perecent of the community
didn’t want the schools name to be
changed. You are traders to your
community.
24401 Darrell Moneymaker Staunton High School robert e lee high school there is nothing wrong with it!
22821 Rosa Mongold Elee high school
I feel like no matter what name is
chosen it won't change history I grew
up learning history and it's not right
trying to change the name when it's
apart of history nothing can change that
22980 Skylar Mongold Staunton High School LEE HIGH
Literally that’s what every surrounding
school calls it. Just call the dang school
LEE HIGH
22815 Stephanie Mongold Robert E Lee High School
The name shouldn't be changed. It's
history, leave it there and move forward
73072 Ann Montgomery Lets Forget History High
Because people are attempting to get
rid of the parts of history that they do
not like.
24401 Penny Montijo Lee High School
Heritage, saves money. We are Lee
High School
24401 Mary Montijo Queen City High School Lee Keep the name
24401 Maria Montoya Queen City High School Honestly? It just sounds nice.
24401 Holly Moody Queen City High School I would love the QC Royals
24401 Charlie Moon Valley High School Ben Garrison High School I think it’s a good name
24401 Carter Mooneyham Valley High School Lee high
Because it is the best name and when it
was Staunton high school it was
segurgated
24401 Kathryn Moor Queen City High School
I like it or the name Staunton High
School because they are simple and
name the school after its location. With
it named after its location is factual and
hopefully controversy over the school's
name in the future could be avoided.
24491 Marie Moore Shenandoah Valley High School ROBERT E. LEE HIGH SCHOOL
You all are idiots, wasting time on a
name, instead of the quality of
education given at the school. You
should be ashamed
24401 Jonathon Moore Queen City High School cuz
24401 Johnnie Moore Staunton High School
Lady Rebecca Staunton High
School
Staunton was named after lady
Rebecca Staunton by Governor William
Gooch! Does anyone realize that Lady
Rebecca Staunton was born from
aristocracy with many servants which
included Slaves. And then there was
Merriwether Lewis and William Clark
the explorers who were also slave
owners. We can’t rewrite history. And
whatever new name is selected it will
possibly not withstand a close scrutiny!
24401 Kathy Moore Staunton High School place-based, not personality based
24401 Tanya Moore Staunton High School No
It is the only other reasonable option
other than the current name.
24486 Sarah Moore Queen City High School Shenandoah High School

22980 Jordan Morris Queen City High School
“Queen City” is a very endearing name
for Staunton and makes no allusions to
the name of a person or people. It is
relatively neutral and should not cause
any social or political strife. It sounds
great!
24401 Toviah Morris Staunton High School Best suited

the reason it's changing
24401 Jake Morris Queen City High School
Not a suggestion for a name
but I prepose a medieval
theme. Knights, dragons,
Monarchs, would be fun.
Seems cool. I’m graduating this year so
I suppose it doesn’t effect me, but still.
I think the students would have fun.
24401 Tracy Morris Queen City High School

24401 Raymond Mosby Lee High School
I think its just dumb but if it offends
you well then sorry oh well
24401 Elizabeth Mosby Staunton High School
Since everyone is so offended by
everything else, it is only fitting to
name the school after our city because
that can not be changed.
24467 Holly Moses
Keep Robert E Lee as the
name and stop bowing
down to PC culture
It’s just a name. The dude wasn’t bad at
all, especially if you compre him to
northern generals. I expect this from
other cities but not Staunton.

Something a little different (not
Staunton or Valley) but speaks to the

Charles W. Anderson High
School
Historical person from who retired in
Staunton. It still pulls the history of Civil
War to help appease the community
members who are unhappy with the
loss of history. Whatever you name it,
please don't be generic. Take clue from
the elementary schools who all carry
unique names.
24401 Shannon Mowery Shenandoah Valley High School Geographic

Queen City in y opinion would be the
perfect name for our school instead of
the other dull names that are suggested
for the high school.
24401 Michael Murphy Chun Lee High School
While maintaining the word Lee which
helps retain structural integrity to the
school as well as the promotion of
asian diversity through the name
24401 Carmel MurphyNorris Staunton High School
Neutral name that states where the

24401 Trusha Nelson Queen City High School Staunton High School N/A N/A
92020 Brian Nelson Staunton High School
Naming after the City should make
everyone.
22801 Roy Nelson Queen City High School Honors Staunton
22903 Justin Nelson Queen City High School
Queen City is a unique title for
Staunton, and much more
representative of the city.
24401 Janyia Nelson Queen City High School
Queen city sounds better than
Staunton City and some people think
Queen represents gays and people
would have a problem with it but it
really doesn't.
24401 Gabriel Nevarez Staunton High School Lee high school
I think that you should just take out the
Robert. E.
24421 Kylee Newcomb Robert E. Lee High School
Because the name shouldn't be
changed. You can’t change history. This
school has been named after Lee for
many, many years and nobody has said
anything. It will be costing so much
money just to change a name.
24440 Javon Newlen Staunton High School
I don’t see any reason to change the
name of the school! It’s a sad world we
live in but if you must change the
name, name it as the city it is in. Good
luck with this mess. My heart truly
breaks that this small city has done this!
24401 Gary Newlen Staunton High School This one seems simple.
24401 Evette Newman Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
Echoes back to the heritage and is non
offensive
24401 Stella Newman Staunton High School Staunton It covers everyone.
24401 Kimberly Newton Staunton High School
As the sole public high school in the
City of Staunton, I think it’s most
appropriate to name the high school
for the city.
22932 Marland Newton Staunton High School
Lots of towns, cities, counties use the
name of their area for schools.
24401 Annie Nguyen Queen City High School
I chose this name because it sounds like
we are strong an superior.
24401 Annie Nguyen Staunton High School Lee High School
I chose Lee High School because that is
how it is to everyone and changing it
would just change everything. It may
seem like a small change but Robert E.
Lee is a big thing to some people.
24401 Dennis Nielson Staunton High School N/A
We live in Staunton and have one high

24401 Alba Nieto Queen City High School Something different and unique
24401 Gary Nimax Staunton High School
Do not name after any
person living or dead. That is
asking for more trouble. And
please not Queen City.
Simple. Obvious. Return to original
historic name. Avoids person
controversy. Like schools in Hburg,
Wboro, Cville.
22812 James Nipe Queen City High School Staunton High School
I prefer Robert E. Lee, but Queen City is
a very distinctive name.
24401 Prefer not to say No Robert E Lee High School Its not bad you're overreacting

name it after someone that bad.
22980 Bryce Norman Robert E. Lee highschool
If you believe this name is offensive
then grow up there is nothing offensive
about this
47803 Aine Norris Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
Naming the school something neutral
will promote an environment of
inclusivity and reflect the true nature of
the school, its faculty, and its alumni.
From a marketing standpoint, Staunton
High School and Queen City High
School are the most unique of your
options. Unfortunately, Shenandoah
Valley High School would be a tough
sell for web SEO and marketing
materials as it closely resembles
Shenandoah Valley Regional Governor's
School. The chosen name should be
strong enough for a new brand and
marketing campaign, not just a new
sign; this is a big decision and the name
has to be unique enough to warrant its
own spotlight. Just my opinions, of
course. Thank you.
24401 carissa norris Staunton High School I like that it was the original name.
24401 Nty Nty Nty Nty
24401 Margie nuckols Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School

Queen City is another name for
Staunton
24401 Johnathan Nunnally Queen City High School Sky View high The mountains around us
24401 Laura Nye Queen City High School Francis S. Collins High School
"Queen City" is a historic namesake for
our city and reflects the effort the city
makes to preserve Staunton's historic
character. Francis Collins really doesn't
need any explanation.
24401 Colleen O’Brien Queen City High School It’s charming, not too plain
24401 Callie O’Flaherty Queen City High School It sounds like an educated name.
24401 Oliver Oakes Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School I didn't pick any.
24401 David Oakes Queen City High School
Queen City is a very unique and
personal name.
24401 Eric Obaugh Lee High School Economics and common sense
24401 Jen Obaugh Staunton High School City name and neutral
24401 Margie Obenschain Staunton High School
I feel it should be a community name
and Staunton is the bedt
representation. Naming it after any one
person will never please everyone. Plus
the high school was originally named
Staunton High School.
24467 Claudette Obenschain Shenandoah Valley High School
It represents neither of the names from
the opposing groups. It is a good
geographic name.
24401 Rachel Obenschain Staunton High School
Will never be confused with another
high school in the state, location is in
the name, simple for uniform/jersey
branding, etc.
24401 Walter Obenschain Staunton High School Staunton Strong
24401 James Oberg Staunton High School It's in Staunton.
21206 Lisa Oberg Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Hunter S Talbot
They embody the city or the area. It’s
inclusive in its name.
24401 Darci Oberly Queen City High School Staunton High School
They reflect the area served by the
school.
24401 Michael Obler Schoolie McSchoolface An appropriate name for the building
24401 Dan OBrien Staunton High School no
It was the original name of the high
school, and it's appropriate
24401 Jack OBrien Robert E. Lee Because you shouldn't erase history.
22980 Al Oby Staunton High School
It's the city of Staunton, so the high
school should be named after the city
24401 Katelin Ocheltree Queen City High School Why not
24421 John Ocheltree Robert E.. Lee High School
It should not be called by any other
name!
24401 Erin O'Connell Staunton High School N/A
It's the best for the town, and it brings
the name back to what it originally was
all the many years ago.
24401 Nora Oechslin Queen City High School Staunton High School
I would feel more proud to introduce
myself as a graduate of one of those
names.
24401 Nicole Oechslin Staunton High School
I think restoring the original name of
the high school makes the most sense,
especially since it is a place name like
most of the other schools in our area. I
think that Shenandoah is a different
place, so that would be too confusing,
and I think that Shenandoah Valley is
too broad a region. Queen City sound
like putting on airs. Staunton High
School is a noble name, one that
inspires excellence and one we all can
be proud of.
32202 Terrance Ogden Valley High School
Simple, Rolls of the tongue, and won't
cause too much an uproar.
24401 Patrick Ogden Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Valley High School augusta High School
To pay tribute to the county that
surrounds Staunton City that has so
much history.
22980 Wendi Olli Staunton High School Sounds better than the others.
22901 Elizabeth Olmsted Staunton High School Staunton High School
I went to Lee ('79) and it is critical that
we are raised and taught to respect
each other. RELee is a hurtful name and
he represents the worst of our human
capacity. We can do better.

24401 Madison Orebaugh Queen City High School It sounds the best
22812 addison ortiz Queen City High School rock me mamma high school no reason
24179 Shawn Osborne Robert E Lee High School
Robert E Lee High School upholds the
tradition of a stellar individual in
Virginia's history and the tradition of
excellence of alumni. As an 1981
graduate of RE Lee, I will never
acquiesce to misguided demands of
those who have no understanding of
history, or the stellar accomplishments
of historical stalwarts I revere, such as
Robert E Lee.
24401 Brock Oshama Staunton High School Nobama paved the road!
24401 Emmy O'Shea Queen City High School
I think it should be Queen City High
School because the name shows spirit
in a good way. It also includes the
whole of Staunton but the name adds a
sense of fun instead of being solem and
melancholy.
24401 Lou Oswald Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Valley High School Lee High School
I am not really in support of the name
change, most people refer to the high
school as Lee High School anyway(not
including the Robert E.) so it is
different, but the same.
24401 Charles Otteni Queen City High School Staunton High School N/A
they sound cool and represent the city

Staunton high school because it is

24401 Taylor Otto Staunton High School Can't keep Robert E. Lee.
24401 Kate Otto Staunton High School Simplicity.

24401 Teagan Overbey Queen City High School I don't have any. I like the way it sounds.
24401 Caitlin Overbey Staunton High School
There is only one high school in the city
it makes sense
24401 Jeff Overholtzer Staunton High School Francis S. Collins High School
Staunton is probably the best choice -
fits the geographic pattern of most
schools. If you name after a person,
Francis Collins would certainly be a
worthy choice. He's an inspirational
figure who's accomplished great things.
92036 Daniel Owen Queen City High School Staunton High School Simple, honorable

22843 Charles Padgett Virginia Randolph High
Fitting to honor a Virginia native
recognized nationally as a pioneer in
education. An African-American female
who lived in the post Civil War south
midst all the Reconstruction tension.
Renaming the school Virginia Randolph
High (omit school) is a throwback to an
era when High alone was proudly used.
This rename is retro yet couples nicely
in tribute to a black female educator
native to Virginia

Sam Painter Staunton High School Lee High School
1). Accept the compromise suggested
by the school board's consultants.
board's hired consultants. 2). This
compromise would save money. 3).
This compromise would be far more
acceptable to the majority of Staunton
citizens, Lee Alumni, and the current
student body.
24401 Sarah Palmer Staunton High School Most logical
24401 Sarah Palmer Staunton High School
Most logical. Please think about how
the name can impact students.
24401 Katrina Pangle Staunton High School Cora M. Hudson High School
Cora Hudson, like Mary Baldwin, was a
successful educator in Staunton. She
began her career as a teacher in the
late 1800's and was the principal of
Beverly Manor Academy in the early
1900's. Her dedication as an educator
and principal was influential with the
future of women's rights and equality.
24401 robert pannell Staunton High School staunton city high school
to distinguish the name from other

staunton.also it gives it a more
pronounced strong name.

24401 Michael Parker Staunton High School
Anything that isn't named
after a racist or slave owner,
thanks. The black students in
this town deserve better
than that.
Because that is the original name of the
high school and it's the name of our
town... and I'm proud of our town.
24401 Grayson Parks Queen City High School
I like Queen City. Our
football team’s name should
be the royals
It sounds the best and Lady Staunton
was a slave owner
24401 Kriston Parr Queen City High School
I feel that the student will enjoy being
able to show the school name off if it is
Queen City then the other names.
Queen City is something us kids can
feel proud of.
24401 Russell Parrish Staunton High School Lewis Creek High School historic, impersonal, locational
23112 Molly Parrish Shenandoah Valley High School It is creative and descriptive
24401 Hannah Parrish Queen City High School
Just keep it Lee!! all of this
drama is unnecessary, it’s a
win for both sides.
queen city sounds the least dumb. why
would you want it to be james staunton
high when that has more racist
background than robert e lee? i don’t
understand
24401 hannah parrish Queen City High School lee compromise
24401 hannah parrish Queen City High School lee it’s a compromise
24401 Patience Parry Staunton High School N/A
Naming a school after then town which
it is located in makes the most sense to
me, as opposed to ambiguous names
such as "Valley" or "Queen City," which
have little relevance to our town when
compared to the actual city in which
we live.
24401 Debra Parry Queen City High School Sounds cool
24401 Barent Parslow Staunton High School Public School Number 1
Names of people living or dead are
unacceptable as such names will offend
somebody.
22801 Pierre Pasquale Valley High School
Afroman “Because I Got”
High School That song talks about going to school.
24401 Roberta Patterson Staunton High School Simplicity
24401 Branden Patterson Queen City High School
None of the other names make sense
or match the schools identity
24401 Eric Patterson Staunton High School Staunton High School
It is historically accurate as the original
name of the school, regardless of its
location.
24401 Elizabeth Patterson Staunton High School N/A It seems the most appropriate
22922 David Patterson General LEE
He was Staunton's protector for all of
Virginia including this schools location
during the Civil War.
24401 Jacquie Patteson Queen City High School Rita Wilson High School
Rita Wilson was a distinguished city
councilwoman who did great things for
Staunton.
23185 Melissa Paul Queen City High School I like it
24401 Trevor Pauley Staunton High School Staunton high school
Represents the community and city the
school is in without offending anyoen
22840 Sarah Paulson Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Ricky Bobby High school Ricky bobby is a southern cultural icon
24401 mary paxton Staunton High School
I think the Shenandoah names are likely
to get confused with Shenandoah VA.
Valley high is too generic. Queen city is
too wordy. Staunton High is perfectly
discriptive.
24401 Jed Payette Queen City High School Fit with the city
24401 Gillian Payne Queen City High School Shenandoah High School n/a
They sound the best and don’t sound
dumb and boring
22802 Susan Payne Queen City High School Staunton High School Valley High School
I feel that they are representative of
the whole community
24401 Kayla Payne Queen City High School Staunton High School Staun Lee High School
I prefer Staunton or Queen city.
Shenandoah or Valley high sounds to
vague and similar to other
areas/schools.
22821 Clint Payne Butt hurt liberals high Thats what it is
24401 Justus Payne Shenandoah Valley High School Robert E. Lee highschool
The puppets elected will be gone
before we know it, Lee was more loyal
to va than any opposed to the name,
and by having staunton high as a choice
is contradicting to the point of
changing the name.
22902 Marilyn Payne Staunton High School
Descriptive, apt, and not biased in any
way.
24401 Samantha Pedersen Staunton High School Better than the rest
24401 Scott Pedersen Staunton High School
If Queen City is chosen we will be the
laughing stock of the state
24401 Hannah Pedersen Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Valley High School They are names of where we live
24401 Laura Pedersen Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Valley High School Lee High School
We live in the Shenandoah Valley, so
those names make sense. Lee High
(without the Robert E) will allow
uniforms, cheers, some signs to remain
the same and reduce the money
needed to change the name.
24401 Ryan Pelletier Queen City High School Valley highschool
I think that Queen City would represent
Staunton well
24401 Ryan Pelletier Queen City High School Staunton city high school
I thought it was a good choice because
is shows a positive side to the city of
staunton
24401 Caleb Pelletier Queen City High School
Booker T. Washington High
School
Queen city is Staunton’s nickname and
has no hateful meaning behind it, and
Booker T. Washington used to be the
name of our other high school
24401 Noah Pelletier Queen City High School Queen City Royals
It’s super original and cool. Staunton
High School already existed and it’s
boring. Queen City is the new high
school, the renovated high school, the
real high school for Staunton.
24401 Wendy Pelletier Queen City High School I like it.
24401 Julia Pentz Staunton High School
More accurate name and was the
original name!
24401 Ellen Pentz Staunton High School no other suggeation
Staunton High School clearly identifies
the location of the school and restores
the original name to this facility that is
used by all students of the city.
24401 Richard Perdue Staunton High School
Stonewall Jackson high
school, Donald Trump high
school Stonewall was the better general
24401 Dana Perry Lee High
I don’t see a reason to change it but
would not be as bad if it was called Lee
High
22841 Lisa Perry Valley High School John Lewis High School
Makes the most sense - Shen Valley HS
could be anywhere in the valley.
Queen City is just wrong name for a
school
24401 Allen Persinger Staunton High School
The name represents all students in the
city. I believe students would be teased
if the school is named Queen City High
School.
22980 Cody Persinger Robert E. Lee High School
Changing it makes literally no sense and
is a huge waste of money.
24472 Stacie Persinger Staunton High School Robert E Lee
I think it should stay Robert E Lee
because that’s history and shouldn’t be
changed! Martin Luther King Jr is
history but that’s not wanting to be
changed!!
24401 Nina Pervel Staunton High School
No one can be "hurt" by naming it after
the city.
22835 Sharon Peters Yall are so fucking dumb R.E.Lee isnt bothering anyone
24401 Kelly Peters Queen City High School Staunton Valley High
Combination of two wonderful things
in our area!
24401 John Peterson Staunton High School
Staunton High School reflects the
community from which its students are
drawn and is rooted in history. It is the
name that should have been chosen
when the two high schools came
together as one (Booker T and Robt. E.
Lee) to reflect the unity of the
community. It is the one name that is
unique to this high school. The other
choices could be any school in the
Valley. We need a name that speaks for
the community it respresents -
Staunton!
24401 Kathleen Peterson Staunton High School
Returning to original name before Jim
Crow era
24401 Aaron Petets Queen City High School I like it
24401 Sera Petras Staunton High School Simplicity
24482 Carrington Petras Staunton High School
Not a suggestion...but
having read the personal
letters of Robert E. Lee, I do
believe he would be happy
to have this latest battle in
the on-going Civil War
completed. He never
wanted memorials that
would continue the conflict,
as the use of his name did in
this instance.
Staunton High School is the original
name, so that's the name to save.
24401 Nikki Pettry Queen City High School
Represents the area and keeps the blue
color
24401 Paige Pettry Queen City High School Queen City High School It represents Staunton well

Noted geneticist from Staunton, Va.

24401 Robert Phillips Staunton High School
Woodrow Wilson High
School
Staunton High School is the best choice
as it is named after the town/city in
which it is located. Woodrow Wilson
while confusing with Wilson High
School in Wayenesboro is named after
our president born in Staunton
24401 Kimberly Phillips Staunton High School
"Staunton High School" is simple,
unlikely to be a name shared by other
schools in the state and it cannot be
construed as offensive.
24401 Andrew Phillips Staunton High School
Least controversial while also being
specific to Staunton
22812 Morgan Phillips Queen City High School Staunton High School Valley High School
Queen City sounds cool. Staunton high
school is practical for location reasons.
Valley high school gives representation
to geographic location of the area.
24401 Michele Phillips Lee
Shenandoah & Valley are assumed to
be the region we live in, broader than
our city. Queen opens up teasing &
unfortunately with our social minds gay
& drag queen, what will be the mascot?
Let the people, not the liberal board
vote. Hurt feelings go both ways.
Liberalism is killing our society.

Lee) Historically, Staunton is the Queen City.
2441 Mike Piner Staunton High School We live in stauton
24401 Ali Piner Lee High School
Because it’s not about Robert E. Lee,
we have been the Fighting Leeman for
years, don’t ruin our history because
people take the thing way too serious.
We are here for an education, the
majority of kids do not care about what
the name USED to mean.
24401 Krista Piner Staunton High School We live in Staunton
22801 Darian Pinkney Queen City High School Barack Obama high school Best president and great for the city
24401 Janie Elizabeth Pinkston-Dungan Staunton High School Francis Collins High School
Staunton because other local schools
are place names. Francis Collins
because he is the most accomplished
and prominent graduate in terms of his
work in Genetics and the NIH.
24401 Jennifer Pitsenbarger Staunton High School Colter Street High School Former name

22939 Jennifer Poats Staunton High School Lee High School
Lee High School(close to the original
name) should have never been taken
off the table. Since Staunton is so into
standing out and letting such a small
number decide to change the name,
Staunton High School fits the bill.The
School will always be “Robert E Lee” to
most of the citizens in the area. I
associate RELee with Staunton and
Staunton with RELee. It’s the best fit.

24401 Madison Potter Queen City High School Great Gatsby High School
this is a more reasonable name than
Lee.
22939 Rachel Potter Queen City High School Staunton High School
Both denote greater specificity to
location than the other three options;
"shenandoah" and "valley" are far too
broad to have the same sense of pride
and ownership that Staunton or Queen
City would provide.
24440 Gloria Potter Lee high school Dont want to change it
24401 Madison Potter -Simmons Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
Staunton high school is a good name
for the school
24401 Kaylah potter-simmons Staunton High School Valley High School The fighting Elmos
it would be a cool name and our

24401 Hailee Potter-Simmons Queen City High School bc the name has to change
33701 john poulson Staunton High School only HS in Staunton so appropriate
24401 Carol Poulson Staunton High School It was the original name.
24401 Stephen Poulson Staunton High School
Mostly for utilitarian reasons. It
associates the school directly with the
city. It follows largely routine /
normative regional naming practices
(e.g. Waynesboro, Harrisonburg etc)
23707 Olivia Powell Staunton High School It’s geographically accurate

Staunton High School because that's

because he is one of the greatest

recognition around here.

Lets learn from history so it doesn't
continue to repeat itself!!!
24401 Kyle Price Staunton High School
Staunton High School is the only logical
choice , alot of people dont know
about Stauntons name as Queen City ,
Shenandoah is not us , the school
dosent cover the Shenandoah Valley
and Valley High School dosent do
Staunton justice ... only answer is
Staunton High School since the name
has to be changed
24401 Thomas Price Staunton High School Francis Collins Should be obvious.
24477 Dakota Price/Whitaker Staunton High School Robert E. Lee High School
Keep our history, if you change
everything and take pieces of our
history away and destroy it, sooner or
later by evolution the story is going to
change some and then passed on so far
down the line of different people, the
history would be total opposite of what
it was and then we will re do it because
we have nothing to look back on and
be like “wow that’s a bad idea since it
didn’t work before”

24401 Joanne Proffitt Queen City High School Queen City I love queen city staunton!
24401 Emylee Protil Queen City High School Staunton High School N/a
I like the idea of staunton high school
as that was the original name (if we are
so concerned with preserving history
here) but i really like the way queen city
high school sounds
22939 Rachel Proulx
Legacy High School or
Shenandoah Legacy High
School
I cannot fit it all. Legacy Lee’s surrender
left us and the legacy we’re leaving our
children by forging ahead to make for a
better future for all people.
24504 Rene Provencher Shenandoah Valley High School It Fits the area.
24401 Mark Pruett Lee high
It is a better option between the two
factions in this argument. It does not
glorify the nane of Robert e lee but
keeps the name that people across the
state know the school by and call lee
high by.i use to live out of this area
most of my life and only knew them by
lee high of staunton virginia.to go to
anothet name diminishes the respect
they have across the state because no
one will know who they are anymore. It
will be just loke combining schools the
heritage of the schools is lost.
24401 Penny Pruitt Queen City High School
I think that Queen City High School as
the Royals is a great name for our high
school since we are the Queen City and
Queens are Royals.
24401 Valerie Pryor HEYER HIGH SCHOOL
Chosen for Heather Heyer, the activist

22981 Wade Puffenbarger Ricky Bobby High School

Drop the Confederate name but keep

22952 Christopher Pugh Staunton High School
Robert E lee is the best, but Staunton
high would probably be the second-
best seeing the fact that it's in Stanton.
24401 Jazpyr Pugh Robert E. Lee High School Robert

24401 Lindsay Pulfer Langett Francis Collins Accomplished Graduate
24401 Amber Pullin Queen City High School Robert E Lee HS
Queen City still has something to do
with Staunton, the Shenandoah ones
don’t. Queen City let’s people know
what our city is, but Robert e lee
shouldn’t change. If it has to it should
be Queen City.
24401 Keith Pultz Staunton High School n/a
Not named after a person that could
have a controversial history.
22939 Hunter Purcell Queen City High School
Because Staunton High School is a bad
name
24401 Joe Purdue Staunton High School Obama high school Ok
Bella Purdy Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
based on location, not on historical
figures or one particular group of
people or culture
24401 Nancy Pyle Staunton High School
It's the original name, before the racists
arrived!
24401 Ayesha Quadri Staunton High School
It was the original name and it serves
the City of Staunton.
24401 Farha Quadri Valley High School
Almost every other high school is
named for its location. Unfortunately,
I’ll believe I read that Lady Staunton
owned slaves. In order to not bring the
debate up again, I would pick some
other geographical reference- like
Valley or something along those lines.
24401 John Que Staunton High School
I’d rather leave the name as is, but if it
must be changed, name it after our city.
24401 Jason Quesenberry Staunton High School
It is the only public high school serving
Staunton City- makes sense to name it
after the city it is located in.
24401 Ava Quesenberry Staunton High School
This is name suggestion for
our school team. We could
be the Royals because of the
name Queen City
Staunton high sounds good because if
you name the school after someone
then there is going to be controversy.
24401 Leigh Ann Quesenberry Staunton High School
Naming it Staunton High School makes
sense considering other schools are
named for the location they are in
(Waynesboro, Harrisonburg, Stuart's
Draft, etc.). I also think it will be better
than naming it after another person,
for someone will be offended no
matter what is chosen.
24401 Tamela Quick Leave it alone
Changing the name of the school has
done more to divide my hometown
than anything I can remember. The
majority wants it left alone.
24401 Jean Quinlan Staunton High School
Used in the past, descriptive, and
neutral.
24401 Justin R Queen City High School Staunton High School Best options

the 10% that oppose it.
24401 Russell Ralston Francis Collins High School
He's famous and went through Lee

Krystal Ralston Robert E Lee High School
It's been the name forever, don't

24477 Ruth Ramsey Shenandoah Valley High School Dr. Nancy G Witt High School
Dr. Witt was the Director of the
“DeJarnette Center for Human
Development” in Staunton, VA. This is
known today as the “Commonwealth
Center for Children and Adolescents”.
She designed and implemented this
nationally known program for treating
children with severe behavior disorders.
24401 Ron Ramsey Staunton High School
Most representative of the community
and the school division. Further,
choosing a geographic name over an
individual vastly reduces the chances of
creating "stress" in later years such as
we have recently experienced.
24401 Amanda Ramsey Queen City High School It’s different and hopefully not offensive
22939 Candice Randolph Queen City High School Staunton High School Lee
All the other schools in the area have
their city name in school name. I picked
Queen because Staunton likes to be
known as that.
24401 Tiffany Randolph Queen City High School
At one time, staunton was known as
the Queen City. I love the name and if
our high school is Queen City, we could
be known as the royals! Our colors
would remain the same and we are
raising Kings and queens! Our high
school should reflect that!
24401 Emma Randozzo Staunton High School
It would make more sense to name the
school after the city that it’s in. Just like
Waynesboro high school
24401 Ally Rankin Queen City High School Staunton High School
Staunton High School just makes a lot
of sense. Queen City High School is my
favorite choice. It’s not political, and
the school could still keep the royal
blue color. Plus, it sounds cooler than
“Staunton City.”
24401 Cassidie Rankin Staunton High School Lee High School
Lee High School has no historical
content because the R.E. is dropped. I
think this is a comprise on the name for
both sides and this is a more affordable
and simple change.
24401 Christina Rankin Queen City High School I like it.
24401 Margaret Rankin
None of the above. I
graduated From Robert E.
Lee HS and am proud of it. It
is NOT for racial reasons I
feel the name should stay
the same, it is historical! See above
22980 Tucker Rankin Queen City High School Staunton High School NA Makes more sense
24401 Doris Rapert Staunton High School
It makes sense and you know exactly
where it’s located.
24401 Michelle Rasheed Staunton High School NA
The name Staunton High School
provides a context of location. It is for
all of the Staunton community and
reflects that in a place name. Other
than one county high school, location
names represent where the schools are
geographically.
24401 I would Rather_not_say Robert E Lee
There was absolutely nothing wrong
with the original name ! !
24482 Parth Raval Staunton High School
Since Staunton doesn't have a high
school named after the name.
24401 Jessica Ray Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Staunton City High School Reflects who we are
24401 john rayford III Constitution High School
I feel the name constitution is a more
inclusive name and similar to the
Justice High School name recently
chosen to replace J.E.B. Stuart HS.
22801 Miranda Raynes Ricky Bobby High School
Ricky Bobby is an infinitely more
interesting and inspirational figure for
kids to emulate than a general who
fought for a failed slave-state
24401 Susan Read Staunton High School I think it best describes the school
24401 Jim Ready Staunton High School Lewis Creek High School It's something different
22903 Catharine Reagan Staunton High School
Staunton High School would be
returning to their original name, the
one that existed before we chose one
to maintain a “keep them in their
place” mentality

24401 Vanessa Redmond Queen City High School Staunton High School Town affiliation
24401 Lawrence Redmond Queen City High School Staunton High School
Just make the school match the city it
resides in, makes it that much easier to
identify in the long run.
24401 John Reece
Schooly McSchoolface High
School It's a good name.
24421 Heather Reed R.E. Lee
It’s different but similar name to the
current name. This will help with any
items that the school or students
currently have or have earned. For
example: not all students will be able
to afford new things with the new
name right off the bat, trophies and
awards that are in the current name
can still be displayed (since people are
proud of these accomplishments).
What’s it going to be like walking into a
school where all the past wins/records
are gone. What will a no name/new
name school be proud of??
24401 B. Reed Staunton High School R.E. Lee High
It’s a part of history. You cannot just
erase it. Making this a racial problem, is
unnecessary. Since when did the name
of a high school offend someone?
What has happened to Augusta County?
24401 William Reep Staunton High School Robert E. Lee High School
Well first off it shouldn't be changed
but since it has to might as well be the
same of the city we reside in.
24401 Michael Reeps Queen City High School
I believe that they should change the
name to Queen City, because it is the
official nickname of Staunton.
24401 Ella Reeps Queen City High School
This is the most creative of the ideas i
believe, & respresents our town
appropriately.
24541 Carolyn Reese Staunton High School None It’s the district name
22401 Deanna Reese Robert E. Lee High School
BECAUSE IT NEVER SHOULD HAVE TO
CHANGE!!!!
24486 Josh Reese Staunton High School Lee High Should not change
24401 Marilyn Rehfield Queen City High School Historic
24401 Austin Rehfield Queen City High School
Staunton is known as the Queen City.
The student body could be called the
Royals and could be known as the
Bardmen owing to our American
Shakespeare Company.
22401 Rit Rehmann Queen City High School Queen City High School
Queen City is a better representation of
Staunton than Robert E Lee and can
probably boost the school's reputation
22801 Steve Reich Staunton High School Restore the original name
24485 Kasey Reid Staunton High School Valley High School Lee high school Makes sense
24401 Kelly Reilly Queen City High School Robert E. Lee high school
Don’t change the name but if you must
Queen City is preferable
22952 Manfred Reinhardt Dr. Nancy Garrett Witt MD
Dr Witt focused heavily on education
and community outreach, developing
teacher training programs in Staunton
and through out the area to address
behavior problems in public schools

24401 Karen Ress Queen City High School Staunton High School Ethel New High School

beaten by Staunton police in 1946 for

24401 John Rexrode Queen City High School Valley High School Stonewall Jackson Historic and relatable to the city
24401 Tiffany Rexrode Lee High
Because I went to Lee and graduated
from there in 2008. I was a LEEMEN
them and I will always be a Leemen!!
22827 Deanna Rexrode Robert E. Lee High School It's history, it shouldn't change!
24401 Chris Rexrode Staunton High School makes sense
24401 Nancy Rexrode Gypsy Hill High School
Name of the park near the original
school
22980 Emily Rexrode Queen City High School Valley High School No real reason- just like them.
24401 Dolly Rexrode Shenandoah Valley High School Waste of money
Because more important things to
spend money on..
24401 Mark Rexrode Queen City High School
Staunton and Queen City are becoming
more and more synonymous.
24401 Sara Rexrode Staunton High School Lee High School
That is what most people call the
school anyway. Also it would save on
cost of redoing everything.
24401 Manuel Rey Staunton High School Robert E. Lee Don’t fix something that’s not broken
22841 Michael Reynard Staunton High School Staunton Secondary School
It states what it is, where it is, and
promotes education itself rather than
honoring or promoting any individual
or cause. It is neutral.
24401 Kathy Reynard Francis S. Collins High School
Francis S. Collins was born in Staunton
and attended Robert E. Lee High
School. He is one of the most famous
and accomplished Lee alumnus. Dr.
Collins is a physician-geneticist who
discovered the genes associated with a
number of diseases and led the Human
Genome Project. Dr. Collins currently
serves as Director of NIH (the National
Institutes of Health), received the
Presidential Medal of Freedom and the
National Medal of Science, and is a
member of the National Academy of
Science. It is most fitting for the
Staunton School Board to rename its
public high school after one of its most
distinguished students.
24401 trae-vonte reynolds Queen City High School idk
24401 Clint Reynolds Staunton High School Robert E. Lee no
24401 April Rhoda Queen City High School
It has depth. So many names of
institutions are of a masculine nature
and I would love to see Staunton to
continue on a progressive path by
giving it a name that is more feminine.
Also I just want to say, my husband and
I moved here two years ago and we
weren’t completely sure how we felt
about Staunton. With the vote on
Monday we realized that we are now
extremely proud to be part of this
community. We had talked about how
we would never send our kids to the a
Robert E Lee High School, but we
would love to send our kids to Queen
City high!
24401 Melissa Rhoden Queen City High School Because I like it.
24401 Emma Rhodenizer Queen City High School Staunton High School Valley High School
Queen City High or Staunton High
reflect the city and are reasonable
names
24401 Melanie Rhodes Staunton High School none To name it after the city
24401 Brian Rhodes Staunton High School
Please do not name it for a person this
time. Human beings are fallible, and so
let's avoid this discussion ever again.
22939 Dillon Rhodus Queen City High School Staunton High School
The names were more unique to
Staunton
22401 Barry Rice
Stonewall Jackson High
School Save our Heritage
24401 Sarah Richards Staunton High School
Staunton is inclusive of everybody.
When "Staunton" is mentioned,
everyone knows the area of
"Staunton". Queen City is not a good
name. When someone asks "Where is
Queen City?, the location of STAUNTON
will be mentioned. Best to go with
STAUNTON.
22802 Shavonne Richardson Staunton High School because it is in Staunton
48060 Adam Richardson Jeff Conner High School
Jeff Conner is an inspiration to young
people and his values are exemplar
examples of the kind of education our
young people should receive.
24401 Andrew Richardson Staunton High School Most inclusive
24401 Susan Richardson Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School No comment.
24401 Claire Richardson Queen City High School Staunton High School
Thank you for changing the
name!
Makes sense for Staunton. Descriptive
and an obvious reflection of our city.
22939 Heather Richmond Staunton High School R.E. Lee
I think the name should stay the same.
We need to teach why the old name
was chosen and why we do or don't
like Lee. It's also waay to much money
to pay for all the name changes
everywhere. The band uniforms, sports
uniforms, gym clothes, sign on the
school and website, etc
24401 Michael Riddell Staunton High School
It reflects the locality from which it
draws it's students and it returns the
name to the original high school name
24401 Matthew Riddell Queen City High School
Queen City has a ring to it and the same
cookouts if blue and white can be used
if our mascot is the royals.
24401 Sarah Riddell Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Staunton High School
Staunton is the Queen City of the
Shenandoah Valley, keep the royal blue
colour, not directly related to a racist
confederate general
24401 Beverly Riddell Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
I like most of them and am SO HAPPY
we are changing the name. Thank you!
24401 Christopher Riden Queen City High School Staunton High School
Staunton High School was the original
name. And Queen City High School
would be a nice fresh start that I
believe everyone could stand behind.
24401 James Ridenour Staunton High School
Should not name a school after a
person
30021 Tiffany Riffo Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton City High School N/A
24401 Chris Riffo Queen City High School Who cares
No issue with the current name or a
new one. Just picked one.
22980 Laura Riffo Queen City High School Robert E. Lee High School
Leave it the way it is. Robert E. Lee was
a great man who served this country
well!
24401 Sarah Riffo Staunton High School Robert E. Lee High School
It's been this name for a long time and
should stay. You are more worried
about a name when there is more
important things to be worried about.
22980 Thomas Rigg Queen City High School
Hogwarts School of
Wizardry and Witchcraft Is there a reason not to name it this?
20180 Zane Rigney Staunton High School Robert E. Lee High School
There is absolutely no reason to change
it. We as a nation have prevailed
greatly through troubled times. We
need these monuments and name
sakes to remind us of where we have
came from as to never go back there
again.
24401 Deana Riley Shenandoah Valley High School Statler High
We all love the Statler Brothers and
always bring a smile and good
memories
24401 Paula Riley Staunton High School Francis Collins High School
Staunton High because of our location,
or Francis Collins High School to honor
his scientific achievements.
24017 Katie Riley Queen City High School Gypsy Valley High School
Staunton is a beautiful place that
deserves a beautifully named high
school.
24401 Breanna Riley Staunton High School Francis Collins High School
Staunton HS is logical. Francis Collins is
an important scientist who graduated
from here.
24401 Robert Riley
Why you even interested.
You gonna do what ya want Cause was nothing wrong with lee high
24401 Kara Rill Queen City High School Staunton High School
I truly love Queen City High School
because we are in the Queen City! So
many places in Staunton are named
after this. Also, not much should need
to be done for school colors if the new
mascot became the "Royals" because
of the royal blue that Lee represents
already. Staunton High School is like
other schools in our area (Broadway,
Harrisonburg, Waynesboro etc.). Its an
easy choice to make.
24401 Charlie Rimel Queen City High School Statler High School
The Statlera have done so much for the

24401 tony Ringgold Donald J.Trump HS
he is the president of the united states.
he has had to overcome tremendous
adversity to achieve the highest office
in the land. such as : a corrupt
democratic party and the media arm of
the party who tear the man down every
day no matter what good he does. so
yes he is very deserving and I think
people here in this area would be very
proud and happy that to see that thos
area hasn't been taken over by
rampant left wing tyrants.

called Queen City and think it would
make for a wonderfully unique high
school name
24401 Arynn Robbins Queen City High School Robert E Lee
It didn't need to be changed in the first
place. Political correctness has got to
stop.
24402 Rickell Robbins Staunton High School
When we first moved to Staunton 15
years ago we were made to feel
welcome by the friendly people that
made this city. I feel naming it after the
city will have the same effect.
27215 William Roberson Staunton High School It's the public high school in Staunton
24401 John Roberson Staunton High School Gypsy hill No
24401 Margaret (Peggy) Roberson Staunton High School This was the name since its founding.

24401 Liz Roberts Queen City High School Staunton High School Barrack Obama High School My personal opinion
24401 Shantae Roberts Staunton High School

called it that instead of Robert E Lee.
24401 Haley Roberts Staunton High School N/a
Original name for the school and it is
the name of our city

24401 Dawn Robertson Shenandoah High School Alphonso Hamilton High
Hamilton was the kindest, best, most
helpful vice principal for many years at

than the alternatives listed!
24401 Tarenne Robertson Queen City High School Queen City Royals is cool.
24401 Sara Robertson Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Valley High School
They sound nice and seem
unproblematic
22835 Thomas Robinson Snowflake High self explanitory
24401 Rachel Robinson Staunton High School
Staunton High School is a clear name
that’s in keeping with other high school
naming conventions in the area
(Waynesboro, Harrisonburg, etc). It is
specific and clearly linked to the city of
Staunton.
22980 Taylor Robinson
Robert E. Lee High School
because there was nothing
wrong with the name
before. He is a historical
figure and the children still
have to learn about him in
school so why does it
matter. Let’s focus on things
like the homeless or global
warming or how the school
food could be better. Have a
good day.
There’s nothing wrong with the name
now so yeah keep it because it’s history
and you can’t erase the past

It seems no one would get offended by
it and it represents our town well.
24401 Anthony Rose Staunton High School
As the only high school in the city, I feel
that Staunton High School is the clear
choice for the new school name.
22801 John Rose Staunton High School Robert E. Lee High School
The original name of the school should
not be changed. The name of the
school is not effecting one single kid
who attends the school.
24401 Bonnie Rosen Queen City High School Just "Lee" highschool.
Queen city highschool sounds cool and
just naming it "Lee" would take away
the historical background but at the
same time, they could keep part of the
name.
24401 Adam Rosen Staunton High School It restores the original name
24401 Linda Ross Staunton High School

24479 Monica Rutledge Staunton High School Lee High School

this name.
22801 Luke Sackett Staunton High School N/a

24401 Cassidy Sadonis Queen City High School Staunton High School Ophie Kier High School
Ophie Kier is a pillar of our community
who is a product of a society that spent
every ounce of energy trying to prevent
him from realizing his potential. I
graduated from the school in 2018, and
I believe that all students should aspire
to the remarkable example Ophie Kier
has set for this community. He is a hero.

send the most logical step. Queen City
HS would be a good one as well.
24401 John Sandow Queen City High School Staunton High School
It's the city's high school, and I feel like
it should ba named after the city.
24401 Braylon Sandy Queen City High School Staunton High School
Queen City High School and Staunton
High School are both fitting names
because of the location of the school
and the history of that location.
24401 Madison Sandy Queen City High School Francis S. Collins High School
Francis Sellers Collins was a graduate of
Lee. He discovered the genes

24401 Amber Saunders Queen City High School Staunton High School N/A
I think if we are going to spend all this
tax money on changing the name it
needs to be one of the most basic,
boring, non-controversial choices.
24401 Rebekah Saunders Queen City High School Staunton High School Lee High Keep it simple and close to home
24401 Debbie Savage Staunton High School
One city high school should be named
for the city. Should be less controversy.
24401 Kaitlyn Savage Queen City High School
Queen City High School is unique, and I
believe it's a name that will be easy to
cheer for. We'll be the Queen City
Royals. We'll be royalty, and we can
continue to wear royal blue. Staunton,
Va is the queen city, and I believe it is

24401 Mahogany Scales Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School
The school has already been named
Staunton High School. Please do not go
backwards. Lets start anew.
24401 Michael Scales Queen City High School
It sounds unique and not boring like
Staunton high. Sounds to casual
24401 Michelle Scarlino Queen City High School Staunton High School They reflect the city
22151 Dawn Schaefer Queen City High School Staunton High School Francis Collins High School They embody Staunton!
24477 Rodney Schartiger Robert E Lee high school
because changing the name isn’t gonna
change history or make the standards
of learning any different. A lot of
financial burden is coming when you
change the name. Athletics and band
uniforms and even the sports history
that has been established over the
years will mean nothing.
24401 Charley Schillinger Queen City High School Staunton High School
I feel Queen City High School embraces
the direction we want to go with our
community.
24401 Darlene Schneck Staunton High School Francis Collins High School
Francis was born in Staunton and
graduated from Lee High. He is the
director of the NIH, and led the Human
Genome Project. His achievements
have benefited the world, and he
would be an inspiration to students.
24401 Kelly Schneider Queen City High School Na Unique

24401 Basia Schrauder Queen City High School It's the best name on the list
24401 Alexus Schroeder Queen City High School Lee High School
I Feel Like Out Of All The Options
Queen City Is More Unique But I Do
Feel That Lee High Holds An
Importantance To Many People.
24401 Beth Schroeder Queen City High School None. Shouldn’t be changed
If I had to go with any, it would be
Queen City. I am a graduate from
Robert E Lee as I feel it is awful of the
name change to begin with. It’s history.
This is what you learn in school.
HISTORY
24401 Diana Schumann McLean HS
The "Gentleman's Agreement" was
signed by Generals Lee and Grant in the
McLean house on 4/9/1865 in the town
of Appomattox Courthouse Va.
24477 Ben Schumin Staunton High School Schooly McSchoolface
"Shenandoah High School" and
variations on that make me think more
of Shenandoah County than Staunton.
Likewise, "Valley High School" makes
me think of Harrisonburg more than
Staunton. "Staunton High School" is a
good, descriptive name for a district
with only one high school.
27518 Elizabeth Schwartz Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
I like queen city high school because it
is unique Andrew speaks to Staunton's
name. I also love Shenandoah valley
and Staunton as it is descriptive and
speaks to the city I love.
22815 Michael Schweigert Staunton High School Fits the bill
24401 Katrina Schwenke Queen City High School
I think Queen City is a Staunton
nickname that's quickly becoming more
popular and more prevalent here, most
people are familiar with it and it has a
lot of positive publicity.
Ryan Scott Staunton High School makes sense
24401 Rick Scott Staunton High School
Hopefully no one can get "hurt" by this
one, if so feel free to move elsewhere.
24401 Bob Scott Staunton High School
Most logical for the name, as it's the
city name.
24401 Denise Scott Staunton High School Robert E Lee History doesn’t change

shouldn’t have to be changed.
24401 Jay Scott Queen City High School It sounds cool
24401 Edward Scott Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School
1. Its Native American 2. Its beautiful 3.
Its mythic 4. It names this area as a gift
of nature 5. It honors the earliest of the
peoples who lived here
22802 Kiki Scott Staunton High School
Correlates to the geographical location
of the school
24401 Miranda Scott Staunton High School
Non biased and simple; Shenandoah
makes me think of Shenandoah county
Ricardo Scott Staunton High School Because that’s where we from !
24401 Prewitt Scripps Staunton High School It used to be the name of the school
24401 Elizabeth Scripps Staunton High School Sense of place and history
24401 Shane Sczepankowski Staunton High School Schooly McSchool Face
It's the original name of the school and
the suggestion for a name is because
anything is better than glorifying a
Confederate slave owner.
24401 Chris Seal Queen City High School
Lady staunton had slaves so wed run
into the same thing
24401 Masi Seal Queen City High School It Sounds Better Than Staunton High
22939 Rob Seal Queen City High School Staunton High School
Francis M. Collins High

He was a scientist and proud product of
Staunton
24401 Dylan Seal Queen City High School Queen City High School I really like how it sounds
24401 Rachel Seal Staunton High School It’s a neutral name
24477 Mason Seaman Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
Makes sense, the school is in staunton
and Shenandoah valley
24401 Patricia Seaton Staunton High School
It was rhe original name of the school
and in years to come, it won't grow out
of favor
24401 Amy Seekford Queen City High School Staunton High School
It shouldn't change in the first place but
if it must those are the best sounding
options.
24401 Mary Seekford Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Leave it alone!
Queen City High sounds like a Girl
school
24401 Mari Selby Staunton High School
It's the name of the city. This is the only
public high school.
24401 Annie Sellers Robert E. Lee High School
Robert E. Lee is the only name it has
ever had and only one it should have.
Period!
24401 Victoria Sellers Queen City High School
I’ve lived in Staunton my whole life, and
graduated from Lee in 2010. I wish this
town embraced the Queen City title
more openly. It’s charming, appealing
to tourists, and just plain cool. As a
graduate from Lee High School, I
definitely think Queen City is the #1
choice.
80439 Steven Sellers Staunton High School
President Donald Trump
High School Be the first one in the country!
24401 Christy Sellers Queen City High School n/a
Staunton is the Queen City. It sets us
apart in a positive way.
24401 Rachel Sellers Charlie Kurtz High School
Far better than any of the others!
Further he was the only person that ran
a sxhooleifh respect and dignity and
self worth!
24401 Michael Sellers Charels F. Kurtz High School
Charles was assistant principal of
Robert E. Lee from 1965-68 and he was
principal from 1968 until his retirement
in 1988.
24401 Cameron Sellers Staunton High School Robert E. Lee High School
Changing the name is the dumbest
thing ever!!
24401 Sondra Shaner LEE HIGH
This name is a valued part of history,
and well known in the Shenandoah
Valley. If the name Robert E Lee hurts a
few people, they need to study their
history. Robert E Lee wa a good man in
a difficult time. I graduated from
Robert E Lee High School in 1964 and
very proud of it. Lee High School would
be a compromise.
24401 Jessica Shaner Staunton High School
Because it's bland enough no one can
complain that it hurts......
24401 Alison Shaner Staunton High School None- just no people, please.
Historical and aligns with surrounding
schools (Wboro, Hburg)
22939 Dean Shaner Robert E. Lee Keep it the same
24440 Sarah Shaner Robert E. Lee High School
My husband is a Robrt E. Lee alumni we
both do not approve changing the
name.
22843 Christine Shank Lee High School
Robert E Lee was an honorable
American citizen and citizen of Virginia.
The Lee name is highly respected and
deserves to be honored in the name of
the school. Any other name would be
consessional for the sake of
apeasement. What would that say
about the city of Staunton?
22980 Angela Shanks-Loan Staunton High School
Alphonso Hamilton High
School
Ok...I don’t like changing the name of
my high school to be politically correct,
but at least name it after a person who
has contributed to the Staunton
community... I propose naming it
Alphonso Hamilton High School, a
wonderful man who served as assistant
principal for years and who has been a
civic leader...or just name it Staunton
High School, but don’t name it after
someone who has never visited
Staunton...
24401 Jennifer Shannon Staunton High School Hometown pride
24401 Buffy Shapiro Staunton High School none
It's the original name, it's non-political,

specific.
24401 William Shaver Queen City High School Staunton High School
Woodrow Wilson High
School Simple and evocative of the city
24477 Laura Shaw Staunton High School ROBERT E. LEE HIGH SCHOOL BC WHY NOT
24401 Ryan Shaw Queen City High School Staunton High School Lewis & Beverley High School
John Lewis & William Beverley were the
originators of what was later called
Staunton. It is not offensive, we have
primary streets in downtown named
after them. Historically it makes sense
and should be accepted by all
24477 Meagan Sheaves Robert E Lee high school
History is what makes Virginia, is what I
love about the state I live in. History
shouldn't be erased just because
someone doesn't understand it.
24401 Teresa Sheets Staunton High School
Because if you are going to change it
then it needs to be Staunton high
24401 Jessica Sheets Robert E Lee High School Because it shouldn't be changed
24401 Christian Sheets Staunton High School Lee high school Resident and alumi graduate
24401 Kitty Sheets Staunton High School
I think it’s important to not name the
school after a person because you
people are fallible. It should be named
after the city the school resides in such
as Waynesboro High School and
Charlottesville High School.
24401 Beth Sheets Staunton High School
The other names are too general with
the exception of “Queen City”
24401 Marnie Sheets Staunton High School Hometown
24401 Jackie Sheffer Staunton High School

24401 Brittany Sheffield Queen City High School Sounds nice
24401 Fay Shelton Staunton High School Lee High School Leave the mascot to Fighting Leemen

Staunton High School is the best
possible name for the city's only high
school and the logical choice.

24401 JP Shifflett Queen City High School I like it the best
22827 M Shifflett Robert E. Lee High School

we change it, if it was called Martin
Luther King High.. I think not. It is
important to me for it to stay the same
24401 Mark Shiflett Unity high school
The civil war and slavery attempted to
disolve the union. I feel Unity high
school is an appropriate name that all
people could embrace and be proud of.
Thank you
24401 Derick Shiflett Robert E Lee high school
600,000 is waste to change the name
for a few people.
24401 Robert Shiflett Queen City High School Marble Model High Research :-)
24401 ava shilling Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School not racist
24401 Pamela Shilling Staunton High School Nope Simple, not racist.
24401 Boston Shilling Staunton High School It's the original name
24430 Courtney Shinaberry Staunton High School Robert E. Lee High School
The name change should’ve never even
been discussed in the first place. I only
chose one of the options it gave me
because it wouldn’t let me leave it
blank. Robert E. Lee is a man of history
and it can’t, and shouldn’t, be erased
because black people are offended by
it. It’s very sad, to be honest. Whether
they change the name or not, that man
is still a part of our history. I hope the
people that voted to change the name
realize how dumb and childish of a
decision this was. I will never call it
anything other then Lee High, because
that will forever be it’s REAL name.
24401 Tim Shipe Staunton High School It's our city name!
24401 Eric Shipplett Robert E. Lee High School Because it just fits after all these years

24401 Sylvia Shirey Robert E. Lee High School
I went there along with my siblings and
daughter. I see no reason to change the
name. You cannot please everyone. Is
Stonewall Jackson Hotel going to
change the name? Like I said, you can’t
please everyone
24401 Abby Shirkey Queen City High School Staunton High School (none)
Staunton because that's the original
name of the high school. Queen City
because Staunton is also known as the
Queen City and that would allow us to
move forward into the future with a
brand new name.
24401 alex shirley Queen City High School robert e lee
if i have to pick a new school name
which i don’t want to i’d go with

24441 Marilyn Shreckhise Staunton High School
Generic name, not subjected to
politically correct changes.
22980 David Shriver Staunton High School It represents the city which it serves.
24401 Barbara Shue Staunton High School
Staunton High School is the original
name of the school and seems inclusive
without bias. It is in keeping with other
area high school names that reflect the
geographic area served: Waynesboro
High Schiole; Riverheads High School;
Stuart’s Draft High School; fort
Defiance High School. Non o the other
area high schools are named for
individuals.
24401 David Shue Staunton High School
Original name; reflects entirety of
Staunton citizenry and community
11237 Mark Shue Staunton High School
It should be the original name. I am an
alumni. Staunton High School

School
Ms. Judkins, who passed away in March
2018, taught music at Booker T.
WAshington High School, Shelburne,
and Robert E. Lee High School. She
beacme head of the Music Department
at Lee High. She worked in Staunton
City Schools for 32 years. She is one of
two African-American female teachers
who have taught at all schools in the
City of Staunton. I think it would be
appropriate and lovely to name our
new high school after a local educator,
and Mrs. Judkins would be a wonderful
educator to honor.
24401 Adam Shwarts
Terry Davis Memorial High
School
Only an Anti-Semetic racist would not
pick this name.
24450 Chelsea Sibold Robert E. Lee High School
We should not change our history as
we are doomed to repeat it should we

name change.
24401 Calvin Siemers Queen City High School

21234 Andy Simantel Staunton High School Washington-Lee HS
Combines the Booker T Washington
and RE Lee names but this is probably a
disallowed derivation
24401 Ethan Simmons Staunton High School Robert E. Lee Because Robert E. Lee is a good name
24421 Suzanne Simmons Staunton High School
If the Lee name is taken away then no
one individual name should be used

29730 Chila Simmons Staunton High School The city and represents everyone
24479 Nicole Simmons Queen City High School
I think it is neutral and represents
something about the area that has
positive connotations.

24401 LeAnne Simmons Robert E. Lee High School
I strongly believe that the name of the

up to the resident of the city of
Staunton.
24401 Douglas Simmons Queen City High School
Great representative name that isn't
offensive to anyone
24401 Desiree Simmons Queen City high school Its more interesting than Staunton city

I feel they represent all of Staunton’s
residents
24401 Makayla Simmons Queen City High School
Because no one ways to be called valley
high school or Staunton high school
that just don’t work and or sound right

The town name is most important here.
Queen City is the nickname.

24401 Rasheed Singh Schoolie McSchoolface Best name for school
22840 Clairen Sipe Robert E Lee High School
Lee High is infamous with Staunton.
Although I didn’t attend the school, nor
will my children, I feel like the name is
part of Staunton’s history. We can not
change history. It’s a shame some folks
want to erase history. I feel like the
school board is listening to a loud
minority versus representing the
majority of the community. I attended
a rival high school many years ago. We
played the Lee Ladies and the Leeman.
Please don’t change the name
24401 Gregory Siron Queen City High School
It has a good sound and isn't tied to a
single person's name, saving us this
argument in 20 years.

flow at all.
24401 Jay Smiley Robert E Lee High School It’s the real name and will be forever.
24401 Travis Smiley Staunton High School Paul Hatcher High School
Paul Hatcher's legacy in Staunton City

tens of thousands of Staunton

24401 Logan Smith Lee So it is not robert e lee it is just lee
24486 Jeff Smith Staunton High School
We have Harrisonburg HS and
Waynesboro HS. It makes sense to
attach the city’s name to the high
school as with the other cities in our
area.
24401 Amy Smith Staunton High School North Coalter High
Because Staunton would only make
sense because it is the town where the
school originated. Plus no one should
be offended by the name of the City if
they live here presently.

22802 Katie Smith Staunton High School N/A
Tells the location of the school. The
area itself has a lot of history
24401 Mke Smith Queen City High School I like it
24401 James Smith Staunton High School Valley High School Abraham Lincoln High School
Renaming a school from Robert E Lee
to Abraham Lincoln is bound to cause
some drama. I have a big ol bad of
popcorn and no life.
24401 John Smith Shenandoah High School
George Lincoln Rockwell
High
Historical figure appropriate to replace
Lee.
24401 Elizabeth Smith Staunton High School Robert E. Lee High School
Staunton High- This is what it was
originally called when it was
SEGREGATED! I picked it because of the
irony; we should’ve kept the original
name and focus this attention on
getting more students to actually
graduate.
24401 Jason Smith Queen City High School It fits the students of the school
24401 John Smith Staunton High School

Anti Racist! Queen City is a fun and
specific name
24401 mary smith Queen City High School it doesn’t sound dumb
24401 John Smith Robert E. Lee High School
Because it's ridiculous to change the
name because feelings got hurt. It
wasn't an issue until a few whiners
made it one.
22801 Steve Smith Shenandoah Valley High School Christine Ford High School Huh
24482 John Smith R. E. Lee High School Changing it is stupid
24401 John Smith Staunton High School John Lewis High School
The area was first settled by John Lewis
in 1732
24477 Marsha Smith Staunton High School
R.E. Lee HS. Always should
be this!
It’s always been RE Lee. Why change it
now??? Why should I have to provide a
reason. This whole thing is just
ridiculous and a huge expense to the
city and their constituents.
24401 Amanda Smith Queen City High School
Its neutral. Staunton was named after a
slave holder.

Booker T. Washington High
School
A forward thinking change of any kind
will be a welcome one.
24401 Klaus Smith Staunton High School
R.E.LEE High School is a
good one.
Since the school board is changing it
anyway why ask the people for their
opinion/vote? Why point out that "its
ultimately up to the school board but
we will ask the people just because"?
Name it Staunton High School or leave
the name the way it is.
22812 Jordan Smith PC Snowflake High School
Because your intentions are to try and
rewrite history to protect your weak
easily offended minds
24401 Bob Smith Queen City High School Robert E. Lee
A name shouldn't effect a community
like it has. People need to realize,
things are what you make them. The
name should have never been changed
24477 Charles Smith Shenandoah Valley High School Robert E. Lee High School It was fine the way it was.
24401 Avery Smith Staunton High School Cause the others are retarded

School
24401 JT Snow Staunton High School Better area recognition
29715 Stacey Snyder Staunton High School N/A
I like Staunton High School which was
already a choice
24401 Patricia Snyder Washington and Lee High

Inclusive!

Staunton High School was the original
name of the school I attended Lee and
graduated in 1971.
24401 Elizabeth Snyder Queen City High School
Unique and different but still
represents the city of Staunton well.
24401 Jenny Snyder Ken Frank High School
Every other school in Staunton is
named after an educator the high
school should also.
22939 John Snyder Robert E. Lee
To preserve history and honor a great
American
24401 Tara Snyder Staunton High School
Many other area schools have
eponymous names.
24401 Madison Sorber Queen City High School Sound the best

They aren’t named for anyone in
particular

24401 Lindsay Sorensen Staunton High School
It is simple, non controversal return to
historical name.
24401 Dylan Sorge Queen City High School Staunton High School
Shenandoah high school and valley
high school aren't specific enough to
Staunton
24401 Judy Sorrell Staunton High School Staunton City High School
I like adding "City" because it more
clearly defines the location.
24401 Donald Sorrells Donald Trump High School Great President and leader
24401 Brittany Sorrels Queen City High School Staunton High School
Queen City and Staunton High School
are non controversial, they reflect the
area we live in, and I really like
reflecting the Queen City name.
22851 Jared Sours Robert E. Lee

24401 Ruby Sowers Queen City High School no because its not lee and we r queens
24401 Ricky Sowers Robert E. Lee It’s the only name I like !!
24467 Lynne Spangler Staunton High School Paul Hatcher High School
Staunton HS designates location and is
specific. Has no racial attachments.
Paul Hatcher was a beloved coach to
boys of all ethnicities for 2 generations.
His name should not offend anyone.
24401 Jean Spath Staunton High School Robert E. Lee High School
I DO NOT feel the name should be
changed
24401 Susan Spencer Queen City High School Sounds the best to me
24401 Michelle Spencer Queen City High School Staunton High School Unique to our small town
24401 Jeffrey Spicer Shenandoah Valley High School
L.E.E- Leadership, Education,

I don't like any of the choses that you
gave me but i like the one that I
suggested Ledership, Education, and
Excellence.
23236 Jenn Spicer Staunton High School
I’m a WMHS grad. Staunton High seems
like it would be easy to identify,
remember, and like Waynesboro High
School, representative of the area it
serves. Honestly, who could be
offended?
24401 Caitlin Spielman Queen City High School
Staunton has been referred to as
Queen City before and it sounds like a
really cool name for a high school. I like
the fact that we could be the Queen
City Royals or the Queen City Monarchs.
24401 Carla Spielman Queen City High School
Queen City is unique and will stand out
from the other school in the area while
still having a link to our past.
24401 Brian Spitzer Staunton High School Valley High School Robert E Lee Keep it the same
24401 James Spitzer Staunton High School Statler High
Local celebrities, non-controversial, for
many years provided free July 4th
concerts which brought in many tourist
and dollars.
81621 Sandi Spracher
Robert E Lee High School,
the high school I graduated
from!
I graduated from there and I don’t think
that 3 people who aren’t even from
Staunton should be able to have the
right or power to change our history.
24402 Emily Sproul Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
Queen City fits with the branding
already established by the city and is
neutral in nature - doesn’t refer to a
specific person or group
20816 David Sproul Staunton High School Safe, durable, accurate.
Ben Sprouse Staunton High School
Since the County already has
the obvious answer
"Wilson" then name the
school after Staunton's first
City Manager. Staunton is
the birthplace of the City
Manager form of
government which is now
used throughout the world.
This is Staunton's greatest
contribution to the world,
creating a form of
government used the
worldover. Do you know
our first City Manager's
name? I bet not. That's my
point! We should! Or do
you know the "Father" of
the City Manager form of
Government, from
Staunton? We should know
these names. Charles E
Ashburner was the first
Manger and John Crosby
was the "father" of
Staunton's government
creation. Also I'd suggest
the name of our founder, Sir
These are historical people from
Staunton that literally impacted the
world; a founder, a father of
government, a first City Manager, and a
teacher who stormed the beaches on D-
Day, died, and was carried by his fellow
Virginias to his mission objective of St
Lo. Each of these are people that I bet
most Staunton High School students,
and most Staunton residents, don't
know, but should. They each honored
our city with the lives they lived, and
each placed Staunton on the pages of
history. It seems appropriate that we
give the honor of naming our school to
someone who gave of themselves for
the sake and love of Staunton.
Embrace honor, and honor one of
those that brought honor upon
Staunton.
24401 Kylene Sprouse Queen City High School Valley High School Coalter high school The street name
24401 Kearstin Sprouse Queen City High School i like the name
24401 Brianna Sprouse Queen City High School I like that name. It sounds good
24401 Julie Stahl Queen City High School
William Shakespeare High
School
I don't want a generic name for a
school that doesn't show our
personality. I want a name that shows
the nation we are a school from a town
with a lot of personality.
24401 Zoe Stahl Shenandoah Valley High School
We want a simple name that shows the
representation of the Valley.
24401 Laura Stahl Queen City High School Staunton High School
Queen City is a historically accurate
"nickname" & Staunton HS is logical.
24401 Sam Stalls Staunton High School I like Staunton, it only makes sense
22980 Blair Stalnaker Robert E. Lee High School
I chose Robert E. Lee High School
because changing the name is
ridiculous and a pointless waste of
everyone's time and the tax payers'
money.
24401 jennifer Stamer Staunton High School Francis Collins High School
Staunton was the original name, and
Collins is a Staunton native that we are
very proud of
24401 Alan Stamp Staunton High School
If you use Staunton City, then the
school buses will not have to be
changed
24401 William Stanley

Mr. Hamilton was a Vice Principal and

change.
24401 Margaret Stanley Wood

For his outstanding and intelligent
leadership during the merger of Booker
T. and Lee High and his example of
grace, courage, and goodwill during a
difficult time.

He graduated from Lee High, led the
Human Genome Project and is now
Director of the National Institutes of
health (NIH) , has received the
President medal of Freedom and the
National Medal of Science. His work
will greatly benefit medicine. Originally
appointed by Barak Obama and also
served under both Bushes as Director
of the genome project, and he
continues to serve under Donald
Trump. He has never forgotten his
roots in Staunton.
22980 Holly Stansberry Staunton High School Lee High School
This is was it is always referred as and is
not offensive.
24401 Maxfield Stanton
Terry Davis Memorial High
School
Terry A. Davis was a groundbreaking
computer programmer who fought for
years before losing to his own mental
health. The purpose of the choice is
threefold- to memoiralize an
inspirational figure, to shine a light on
mental health struggles, and to try to
get more kids interested in STEM and
Programming.
24401 Becky Staton Queen City High School Best name on the list
24401 Angela Staton Staunton High School
The school was originally named
Staunton High School, which accurately
identifies the surrounding city. The
renaming of the school to Robert E. Lee
High School occurred in the early
1900s, during the Jim Crow era.
24401 Grace Staton Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School
Queen City sounds neat and it has
history behind it, Sheandoah High
sounds good and it has to do with
where the school is located
24401 Staunton Resident Staunton Resident Queen City High School
Queen City is a represents Staunton it’s
another name for our beautiful city and
would be great to name our city’s high
school
24401 Scott Stedman Queen City High School Staunton CIty High School
I think it provides a neutral name for
people of all difference to be apart of.
24477 Christina Steele Staunton High School Represents pride in the city of Staunton
24401 Joe Steele Staunton High School Robert E. Lee Respecting, not burying, history
24401 Gillian Steger Queen City High School Staunton High School It makes sense. We're in Staunton.
24401 Molly Steitz Queen City High School NA
Queen city = Staunton City but sounds
cooler. Keeping the "royal" blue color.
Mascots can be a king and a Queen
"the royals". It's not political.
24401 Jason Stell Staunton High School
Accurately reflects what the school is
without political baggage; references to
Shenandoah do not seem apt because
they suggest school is located in city of
Shenandoah farther north
22980 Jack Stellar Mo Bamba secondary center Please
24401 Matthew Stephens Queen City High School Staunton High School
The names involving Shenandoah feels
too general- either refering to the
entire Shenandoah Valley or
Shenandoah County. Queen City feels
right.
24401 Cathy Sterrett Staunton High School Summit High School
I have decided I'm submitting the name
Summit High School.. Summit is the top
of the hill.. A meeting of two or more
for a common purpose and its easy to
cheer for and w have the Fort..the
Gap..The Draft..The Hornets Nest..we
could all have"The Summit" and The
Staunton S so many have is still
applicable
22815 George Stevens Ronald Reagan high school
The man was a outstanding president.
He had the national debt at a low. He
was a full blooded american. And a
frear role model
24401 Kristin Stevens Queen City High School N/A
The Queen City mischief and magic
festival is a huge part of staunton
24401 John Stevenson Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School General High School It sounds nice
24401 John Stewart Staunton High School Robert R Lee Leave it as it is due to cost to tax payers
22942 Steven Stewart Staunton High School Robert E. Lee Should remain the same.
24401 Lisa Stickley Robert E Lee High School
The public should have been allowed to
vote on the name change.
24401 Kendra Stidley Queen City High School Lee high school
It just sounds the best and fits better
than Staunton high school.Also we
could be the royals.
24401 Curtis Stilley Queen City High School Staunton High School
Keeping the focus on the location
makes the most sense to me.
24401 Molly Stinespring Independence High School
Every student needs independence
sometime in their life
24401 Karen Stinson Staunton High School NA NA
24401 paty stodimire Queen City High School no
because it would be a good marching
name
24401 Tabatha Stokes Staunton High School No
It's in the city of Staunton and that was
the original name and it doesn't offend
anyone. If the name needs to be
changed then it should be named after
Staunton where it is located.
22939 Aaron Stone Robert E. Lee High School Keep it the same.
24401 kevin stone Staunton High School
Simplest choice with the least chance
of any getting hurt feelings over a name.
24441 Jeffrey Stoner Ricky Bobby High School
Recognizable among the people of the
valley, positive connotations, I feel that
the children of this age group would
have a more positive experiance with
the name, reducing depression and
anxiety, make kids want to go to
school. Promote mental and physical
health, and never giving up on your
dreams.
24401 Sarah Stott Queen City High School
Thomas D. Howie High
School
I like Queen City because it is unbiased
and fits Staunton. But Thomas Howie
was a war hero that was from Staunton
and saved a town of people in WW2 so
if the school is going to be named after
a member of the military it should be
him.
22801 Tiveeda Stovall Shenandoah Valley High School I like the location name
24401 Knealand Strain Queen City High School NA It’s a good name
24401 Benjamin Strassler Queen City High School Shakespere highschool
I feel that naming my Highschool after
my town is cliche and I believe that
Queen City Highschool is a much better
choice
24401 Bonny Strassler Queen City High School
It seems to fit our community and is
cohesive in this new vision of Staunton
as a gem. The high school really is all
that.
24401 Kaelin Strickland Queen City High School Queen City royals

24401 Kirt Strother Queen City High School
It is unique and has a captivating
quality. Bravo on the name change and
bringing Staunton along for the journey
that this country must take into a more
diverse representation of a diverse
populace.peace
24467 Jeb Stuart Staunton High School Obama High School Positive Leadership
24401 Student Student Queen City High School
Queen City is a great name for the
school it’s creative and it’ll be cheaper
to make it Queen City because it’ll be
easier to come up with a mascot like
the “Royals” or the “Monarchs” which
means we could keep the royal blue for
the school colors so it’ll save money
more since our colors are already blue
we’ll just have to change the name
from lee to Queen City so it’s a perfect
fit
24401 Student Student Queen City High School
The student want it to be Queen City !!!
Please make the school name Queen
City
24401 Student Student Queen City High School
This is our future as students and we
truly want our city’s high school to
become Queen City High School!
24401 Student Student Queen City High School
Students should get the choice of the
name and the students want the school
to be Queen City High! This is our
school and our future so it should be
our choice
24401 Bob Studle Queen City High School

24477 Christine Sumner Staunton High School RE LEE
It's what it is, I'd like to know the
financial cost of changing the name!
24401 Faith Supinger Queen City High School
I like queen city because it is not
political, and it honestly sounds super
cool for a school name like something
out of a movie. I have seen a lot of
students also like the name Queen City.
24401 Katharine Surratt Queen City High School N/A It's cool
24401 Addison Surratt Queen City High School
This has no political background yet still
sounds appealing.
24401 Allie Surratt Staunton High School Lee High School
Lee High School, because it’s usually
shortened to that anyway. Also, they
could remain the “Leemen” and make
less changes. More cost effective.
24401 Rebecca Surratt Queen City High School
It’s unique and has character. Also
carries a sense of positive pride.
24401 Hannah Sutton Queen City High School Robert E. Lee Save the name

24401 Tina Sweet Robert E. Lee High School
The school name should not be
changed arbitrarily by four people. Let
the voters of Staunton make the
decision by referendum. Your own poll
indicates a majority do not want the
name changed.
24401 Mary Swisher Queen City High School
Woodrow Wilson High

22802 Carly Swisher Queen City High School
It fits with the city name. As a graduate
of R. E. Lee, I’d like to see the school
renamed properly after the old name
has finally been removed.
24401 Taylor Swisher Staunton High School R.E. Lee High school
It should stay R.E. Lee, you can’t erase
history.
24401 Daniel Switzer Queen City High School

Staunton was located on the western
frontier in the early history of the US.
We have the Frontier Culture Museum

moving into a new frontier -- blazing a
new trail of understanding and

scholars for the frontier of their future

1. A ridgeback can be refer to as

tack for us former Leeman and for
those that wanted the change I hope
would be satisfied. I'm so over this. But
this is my youngest last year and he
would like it on his diploma like his
brothers.
24401 James Tate Queen City High School Staunton High School Robert E. Lee High School
The two that I chose (Staunton HS and
Queen City HS) speak more to a high
school in the city limits. The others
sound like they could be anywhere in
the county or greater valley area.
24401 Leslie Tate Queen City High School Staunton High School
Both speak to Staunton. Shenandoah
Valley is a much larger area. I don’t feel
that these names speak to the city
location.
24401 Libbey Tate-Carter Talbott High School
I chose Talbott High School after PE
teacher and gymnastics coach Hunter
Talbott who Lee High Schools track is
named after. He was a great influence
on many students at Shelburne and
with the Staunton Augusta Ymca being
a gymnastics instructor.
24401 Nothappy Taxpayer Staunton High School wastefull high use the money to teach the children
24486 Tyrod Taylor Lee High It's a good name
24401 Jennifer Taylor Staunton High School
Seems most relevant considering other
area High Schools are named after their
city/area as well
22841 Amy Taylor Staunton High School
Plain and simple even though I think
the name shouldn’t be changed.
24401 John Taylor Staunton High School Simple
24401 John M Taylor Staunton High School Sweet name
22980 Taylo Taylor Staunton High School N/a Wish name didn't change
24401 ANGELA TAYLOR ROBERT E LEE HIGH SCHOOL SHOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT ALONE.
24401 Geraldine Taylor Queen City High School
This is because the original name of
staunton is Queen City.
24401 Inda Taylor Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
Staunton Is the name of the city. The
school is in the Shenendoah Valley
24401 Katherine Taylor Staunton High School Baldwin Jennings High Cool name
22980 Brenda Taylor Staunton High School
North Coalter Street High
School
I believe if the school is named after
any person, there will still l be people
unhappy with the name. The identity
of the school would show identification
using Staunton or North Coalter
24401 Natasha Taylor Queen City High School
Queen City Royals High
School
Queen City because it was a name for
the city, and also royal because if you
are a queen you are royalty.
24440 Jordan Taylor Staunton High School
James Hunter Talbott High
School or JH Talbott High
School
Hunter Talbott was an icon for many
people in Staunton and Augusta
County. Coach T touched many
students lives throughout the life he
lived. He was a true community hero.
24401 Amy Taylor Queen City High School Staunton High School
Name identifies our geographic
location (Staunton High) or a unique
identifier for our beloved city (Queen
City High).
24401 David Taylor Queen City High School Staunton High School
Queen City is the nickname for
Staunton. Don't use "Squirel' as new
mascot, that sounds stupid.
24401 Kodie Taylor Queen City High School Queen City High School
You can keep the *royal* blue color.
The mascot could be king or queen. We
could be called the Queen City Royals.
24401 Maryann Taylor Valley High School Bruce Lee High It sounds nice
24401 Tom Taylor Staunton High School
City's name and what it is, let's see how
many will argue over that.
24401 Daryl Taylor Staunton High School Because I'm from city of Staunton
24401 John Taylor Staunton High School Least offensive
24440 Jessica Taylor Staunton High School Robert E Lee
It shouldn’t change, you’re spending all
this money to change a name but the
school needs to be fixed more than it
needs a name change. ridiculous
24401 Jenny Taylor Jones Staunton High School Francis Collins High School
Staunton High School was the original
name. Collins is a brilliant man worth
naming a school after.
24402 Rej Tee Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Valley High School Francis Collins High School I like all
24401 Tj Tehrani Staunton High School Lame to get rid of old 1. Grow up
24401 Nick Tehrani Staunton High School
Just make sure it has a cool
mascot
Just like every other school is named
after the town it’s in
24401 Nancy Temple Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School They are politically/emotionally neutral.
24401 Haley Tenney Queen City High School
Francis Sellers Collins High
School
Named for the famous Lee attendant,
Francis Collins, who was a key figure in
the Human Genome Project
24401 Abby Tenney Queen City High School Collins High School
Both names represent something
positive and special about our area.
Things that should be celebrated and
remembered.
22980 Elizabeth Terrell Staunton High School N/A Simple!
24401 Billy TERRY Staunton High School
24401 Heather Terry Donald J Trump Highschool
If it must change (which it shouldn't) at
least this would be suitable
22947 Roslyn Terry Staunton High School
It just makes sense, seeing as how the
its located in the city of Staunton
24401 Casey Thacker Queen City High School No History
24401 Mike Thelk Staunton High School Beacon High School
Staunton High School was the original
name
24402 Louis Thelk Queen City High School Teley Tate high school None
24401 Amy Thelk Staunton High School
It lets people know where we are
located (akin to Waynesboro HS,
Harrisonburg HS, etc.)
24401 Alexander Thibodeaux Queen City High School Supports the history of Staunton
24401 Mary Clay Thomas Queen City High School
It's got energy, is unique and could
have a monarch as its mascot!
24401 October Thomas Staunton High School
Simple, and wont spark the flood of
anti gay sentiment ive already been
seeing with the queen city options.
24401 Julie Thomas Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
Don't name it after a person.
Too many issues with that.
They show pride for our town and
valley.
24401 Jane Thomas Staunton High School Valley High School They suit the school and area best
24401 john thomas Queen City High School Staunton High School Malcolm X High School name schools after black people !!!!
24467 Morgan Thomas Queen City High School Staunton high Queen City Because Yas Queen
24401 Donna Thompson
Fannie Bayly King High
School
She was a famous Stauntonian who
greatly contributes to the suffragette
movement.
22980 Brandi Thompson Robert E. Lee High School
No name change is needed. Lee was an
honarable figure in the history of our
great state. A calculated agenda was
pushed by a group of people who don’t
speak for the majority of your citizens.
24401 Devon Thompson Staunton High School
Staunton High School is a neutral name
since it is based on the location of the
high school.
24401 Donald Thompson Staunton High School Original name of school
24401 George Thompson Shenandoah Valley High School
They all are very bad and do not reflect
my opinion on the name change. They
lack inspiration and character
24401 Carter Thompson Lee High School
I think this would be a good name. You
can take off the Robert E. Lee and still
make it lee high school. As an alumni of
the high school it hurts so much to
have this name taken away. With just
taking off the Robert E Lee there is still
part of the meaning to the many
people who attended this school
before.
24401 Beth Thompson Queen City High School I like it!
24401 Randy Thompson
Terry Davis Memorial High
School Terry Davis was a pioneer in technology
24401 Jen Thompson Staunton High School R.E. Lee High School
Staunton High is the only one that
makes sense. Except, leaving the name
of the school the way it is because it
has been that way for years and years. I
understand there is controversy but I
don’t believe changing the name of this
school will change history or the
controversy. Please vote again and let
the school remain as it is.
24440 Jordan Thompson Queen City High School I like it
24401 Brittany Thompson Staunton High School No comment
22645 Tim Thompson Lee Tradition, heritage
24401 Kevin Thompson Staunton High School Lee High School It makes since to me!
24401 Christina Thompson Statler High School Least controversial name I can think of...
24482 John Haggerty Thompson Staunton High School
DONALD J. TRUMP HIGH
SCHOOL
The names provided are liberal trash.
Just like the spineless pukes on the
board who will be voted out. Can you
say “leaked audio tapes incoming”?
24477 Elizabeth Thompson Queen City High School Staunton High School Lee High School
It's always been Lee high school this
way it just doesn't have robert e lee
24401 Deborah Thompson Shenandoah Valley High School Donald J TRUMP High He is our great president
22980 Alice Thompson Staunton High School Statler Because it’s very unique.
24401 Kathryn Thorne Staunton High School Lee High School
Because we are a famLEE so it should
be in the name or we are no longer one
24437 Cynthia Thornton Robert E Lee High School Because it’s the name it is meant to be
24401 Cad Thunderoc
Terry Davis Memorial High
School
Awesome guy, needs something named
after him.
24401 Laura Thurman Staunton High School I like using the location
22939 Adam Tibbs Queen City High School Staunton High School Staunton Blue Devils Easy
24401 David Tibbs Wanted to see poll
22939 David Tibbs Valley High School No reason just like more than the others
24401 Katie Tigert Queen City High School
I like the way it sounds and the mascot
could be a woman. Right timefor it to
happen. Please don't stop being
progressive!
24401 JoAnn Tigert Queen City High School Staunton High School
We are proud to be the Queen City.
Staunton High was the original name.
24401 Jen Tilburg Queen City High School Frontier High School
Seems fitting and in line with Buffalo
Gap, Fort Defiance, Riverheads,
24401 Katherine Tillen Queen City High School
It is a more creative name then
Staunton High School.
24401 Martha Tillen Charles E. Hern High School
Charles Hern was an educator, coach
and administrator in Staunton for
nearly four decades. He was known for
his fairness, his high standards and his
keen sense of humor. All the other
schools in Staunton are named for local
persons who had a strong, lasting
positive impact on our schools and our
community. The high school should be
similarly named for an educator who
devoted his career to serving
Staunton's schools.
24401 Peter Tillen Shenandoah Valley High School Shen Valley High School
I think Shen Valley Sounds cool and we
could be called the Shen Valley Fighting
Presidents
24401 Brittany Tinsley Staunton High School Staunton city high school
I think the name should have
something to do with the town or city
that it's located in
22989 Sara Tisinger Queen City High School R.E Lee wasn't an option
22831 Carlinda Todd Staunton High School Valley High School Accurately descriptive
24401 Tannah Toler Staunton High School
Robert E Lee high school. it
is history and trying to erase
history is wrong. shame on
the staunton city school
board. my child will not go
to a staunton city school
it is history and has been the name for
many years
24018 Ann Toliver Queen City High School
Queen City is another way to identify
the city of Staunton within the
Shenandoah Valley. The Valley has
several high schools and thus it doesn’t
seem appropriate to name it after the
Valley itself. And Staunton High School
seems quite plain.
24401 Alexis Toliver Queen City High School
All the others seem pretty basic and
could also cause more problems but
Queen City seems to be a pretty decent
one out of all of them.
24401 Gabriel Tolley Queen City High School
It’s more interesting than just Staunton
high
24401 Brandon Tom Queen City High School Queen City High School Yes
24401 ginger toman Queen City High School
i dont want the name to change but
“queen city” has historical value
24401 Stephanie Toman Queen City High School Francis Collins High School
He went to Lee High school and started
the human genome project. He was
appointed by president obama as the
director of the national institutes of
health.
24401 Rhiannon Tomlin Queen City High School Royality high school It makes us sound sophisticated
19125 swan tonbalm Valley High School Schoolie McSchoolface way she goes
24401 Patrick Torrens Staunton High School Barack Obama High
We should want our young people to
be like Barry O.
24401 Theia Toye Queen City High School Staunton High School Its a good name
24482 Libby Trainum Queen City High School
It sounds the best and nothing bad is
associated with it
24401 Vy Tran Queen City High School
Because there is alot of business nake
after that
24401 Gary Traxler none They are all so bad.
24477 Robert Trayer
No Change Robert E Lee
High School
this is WRONG to try to erase our
history !
94306 john Tree Negerküsse High School niggers
24401 Phillip Trella Queen City High School
The name maintains a historical
significance/designation
76028 Alexander Trimbly
Stonewall Jackson High
School An important historical Virginian.
24401 Amy Tripp Queen City High School Staunton High School Hogwarts
Queen City is unique. Staunton is
obvious. Hogwarts for shits and giggles.
24401 Mike Tripp Queen City High School
Staunton has been used before, plus
the family may have owned slaves back
in the day. Queen City would mark a
new start + have a direct tie to the city
it is part of as Queen City is Staunton's
nickname.
24401 Aaron Trovato Staunton High School It's the High School in Staunton.
24401 Wendi True Queen City High School
I think the name chosen should be
something not already used AN if you
name it Staunton High School unless
you live here, the name will not br
pronounce it correctly
24401 Cassie Trujillo Queen City High School Staunton High School Very neutral
24401 Donald Trump Donald Trump High School I am president.
24401 Angela Truscky Shenandoah High School Schooly McSchoolface
They are gorgeous and give the feeling
of a good school that is serious about
education
24401 Samm Truslow Queen City High School Staunton High School Simple
22952 Myranda Truslow Robert E Lee High School
I feel like it’s been RE Lee for so long,
it’s a part of history that doesn’t need
to be changed
24401 Timothy Truxell Queen City High School Staunton High School Valley High School Andrew Lewis High school Historic but not tied to the civil war
24440 James Truxell Lee Jackson High Changing the name wad just stupid
24401 Anna Trybus Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
Shenandoah Valley Highschool could
be shortened to SVH which is easy and
people will like, and it’s named after
where we lived which is pretty.
Staunton is also good, because it’s
where we live.
22980 Kay Ttigilio Staunton High School Match other high schools in the region
24401 Lisa Tubach Queen City High School Staunton High School
In the end, for general clarity and
marketing purposes, I think Staunton
High School is the best. (I'm really glad
you have decided to change the name.)
24467 Shon and Jack Tucker Staunton High School What it was and should have stayed
24401 Brielle Tunia Queen City High School It is different.
24450 Erica Turman Staunton High School Queen City High School
I think Queen City is charming and also
fitting for the area.
24401 John Turner Staunton High School Liberal Flakes High School Crybabies wanted it changed!!
22980 Letisha Turner Staunton High School
Distinguishes between city an county
school systems.
24401 Amy Tussing Shenandoah Valley High School Na Na
24401 Nancy Tyree Staunton High School Robert E Lee High School
I truly don't care either way what the
school is named. I think it is not
professional to have the focus so much
on a name and not the importance of
educating our youth. These youth are
our future. I only wished it did not
have to get so ugly with nasty and racist
comments. I will be happy with this is
finalize and things can move on.
24175 Mike Tyree sr Staunton High School Seems right, being in Staunton
24401 Liam Tyrrell Queen City High School
History of Staunton makes Queen City
the most creative, logical choice.
22812 Pam Ulmer Queen City High School
Its fitting for the city of Staunton - as
the Queen city
24401 Unknown Unknown Queen City High School Staunton High School
We do not live in Shenandoah County
so those names are not appropriate.
24401 V V Staunton High School
Because it was the name of the school
prior to RE Lee.
24401 Daniela Valdes Queen City High School L.E.E High School
In the opinions of so many Robert E Lee
students and upcoming students from
Shelbiurne think the new name
suggestions aren’t good.
23236 Jaclyn Vames Staunton High School Barack Obama High School
Need to honor the best president in the
history of US presidents. Or just name it
after the city.
24401 Laura van Assendelft Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Blue Ridge High School we already say Go Blue
24401 Cady van Assendelft Queen City High School
It is the most unique -- Shenandoah /
Shenandoah Valley sounds too similar
to the Governor's School name
24401 Emily van Assendelft Queen City High School Valley High School Blue Ridge High School Inclusive and not offensive
24401 Melissa Van Fossen Staunton High School
Takes it back to the original name. It is
the only high school for the City of
Staunton. It is a neutral name.
24401 Johnny Van Fossen Valley High School
Lewis and Clark educational
center
I chose these names because they
represent the city and community for
which the name should remain !
24401 Keith Van Fossen Staunton High School Return to original name
24401 Sydney Van Fossen Queen City High School Staunton High School Lee High School
I grew up here and graduated from R.
E. Lee. We never associated ourselves
with that. Instead we represented the
Leemen or Lee Ladies. The student
body was our mascot.
24401 Noah Vanhoy Queen City High School
I think it sounds sophisticated and
unique
24401 Steve Varino Ulysses S. Grant High School Grant won the war, Lee surrendered.
24401 Jason Varner Staunton High School Recognizing our city’s high school
24477 Tyler Varney Staunton High School
Cause it is located in Staunton and
makes sense to be staunton high
22821 jesus vasquez schooly mcschool face
might as well if you are stupid enough
to get rid of r.e. lee
24401 Payton Vaughn Queen City High School staunton queens highschool I realy like the names queens.
24401 Holland Vaughn Queen City High School
Lee High School (just get rid
of the Robert E.) Queen City sounds sophisticated
24401 Ambriel Veldkamp Queen City High School
You can keep the royal blue, and it’s
unique to Staunton
24401 Blaize Velvin Queen City High School Queen City High
Historical name of Staunton Virginia
and also bring a unquie opportunity for
mascot choices
24401 Nancy Venable Staunton High School
Was the original name, is specific to
Staunton (unlike Valley or Shenandoah
High School), and should offend no
one! The risk with naming it after a
person is that not everyone might
admire that person, and reputations
can change over time. I would also
accept Valley or Shenandoah.
24401 Makayla Venable Queen City High School
I like Queen City, that way we can still
keep all the blue colors
24401 William Veney Staunton High School Cynthia Gray high school
In rememberance if a wonderful
principal and great roll model to the
Robert e lee community
24401 Jason Vergas Staunton High School Good
24421 Julia Vessey Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
Lovely representation of our town and
area that avoid reference to the
Confederacy.
24401 Jasmine Vest Staunton High School It was the best name I think
24401 Anita Via Queen City High School No It’s not basic like other schools
24401 Diana Via Staunton High School
It jst makes it easier without overly
offending anyone
24401 Rebecca Via Queen City High School Staunton High School N/a
24401 Brigitte Via Queen City High School Staunton High School
Staunton should be honored for being
a progressive city that was among the
first to value minorities - deaf, blind,
women, and the insane
24401 Randall Via Staunton High School It really doesn't matter
I really think they should have left the
name alone maybe remove Roberts
name but left it jus Lee
24401 Elizabeth Via Staunton High School
It's our city's name and nobody can
contest that!
22939 Susannah Via Staunton High School
I graduated from Lee and I think it
should just be named after the city like
most other high schools
22939 mckenzie via Queen City High School Staunton High School pretty name
24401 Andrea Villa Queen City High School
I think it sounds great for a school
name!
24401 Selena Villafuerte Queen City High School It sounds better than all the other ones
24401 Darren Vires Queen City High School Statler High
Three out of the five names you have
listed are already in use in the state of
Virginia
24401 Lydia Volskis Staunton High School Francis Collins High School
Was the name before! Collins is a local
person who is very accomplished
Hannah von Oeyen Altman Staunton High School
(Sorry if this submitted twice) It's
simple and is a return to it's original pre-
1914 name. I would still be able to
identify with it being called "Staunton
High School" and feel school pride. I
graduated in 2007. If it were named
anything else, I would feel distant from
my school, it wouldn't feel like my high
school anymore. I would maybe be OK
with "Queen City High School" as well,
but my strong preference is "Staunton
High School." It feels right. I'm happy
you are changing the name, it was a
terrible name and mascot for this day
and age, thank you.
24401 William von Seldeneck Staunton High School none
School name should identify the
community it serves
24401 Wilson von Seldeneck Queen City High School Queen City High School All inclusive name that sounds cool
24401 Wade von Seldeneck Queen City High School Staunton High School
Wade von Seldeneck High
School i am a great man
24401 Robin Von Seldeneck Staunton High School
It was Staunton High School before and
this is the least divisive option.
Daphne Vonn Staunton High School
I like it better than RE Lee. It doesn't
have any racial connotations connected
to it.
24401 Rachel W Staunton High School
It is the name of the city so just name
the school the same
24482 Joe W Staunton High School Wes Bellamy High School “Hero” in our community
24401 A W Lee High School Name change is dumb
24401 S W Queen City High School
Queen City High School
home of the Royals
Queen City is Staunton’s nickname and
I believe it would be a cool and
different name. Royals as the mascot
that way it could be anyone boy or girl.
Let our student been know they are
important and that just like rolality they
can do anything.
24060 kaitlyn waddell Robert E. Lee
Don't try to erase history, that does not
help anyone. Also Facts don't care
about your feelings, history should not
be erased to please the mob rule.
24401 Kelsey Waddy Queen City High School ? I like the name queens city.
24401 Derek Wade Robert E. Lee
Because if we keep changing names,
eleminating statue's/monuments, and
attemping to earse certain fact from
this nation's history then we are bound
to keep making the same mistakes that
our ancestors made and then later
regretted. This country is supposed to
be divided between a left and right
side, black and white, Republican and
Democratic. That is where this country
is divided and it's a true shame ... In my
personal opinion it should be officially
renamed as Robert E Lee because until
2017 there was no issue with this name
and the graduates of R. E. Lee turned
out just as well as those from other
areas of the county
24401 Carmen Wade Shenandoah Valley High School Lee High School
I would still like the school to be called
what it was originally made to be called
24401 Damien Wade Queen City High School Francis S. Collins High School
Collins is a real notable alumni if history
is a big part of the nomenclature in the
city. Otherwise Queen City high would
be really cool.
24401 Griffin Wade Queen City High School Robert E Lee
The money being used for the changing
of the name can be better spent on
improvements of education for our
students. Or for a raise for the quality
teachers that put in their 110% to make
star students.
24401 Jessica Wade Queen City High School
I believe that QCHS would be a neutral
name and would open the mascot
choices up as well.
24401 Thomas Wagner Shenandoah High School Most poetic
24401 Pamela Wagner Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Staunton High School
All 3 I chose connect to the place where
the high school exists.
24401 Emily Wagner Queen City High School Staunton High School Valley High School n/a
I think they represent Staunton more
than the current name and reflect our
identity well.
24401 Carol Wagner Queen City High School
It is less generic than Staunton or
Valley, reflects the town's history, and
won't be confused with schools in the
city of Shenandoah.
24401 Tom Wagner Queen City High School Hunter Talbott high school
Coach T was well known coach,
educator. He was tough but fair. He
had my upmost respect
24401 Alexis Wagner Call Lee It’s a compromise
22980 Renée Wagner-Polen Queen City High School
I think it suits Staunton very well and
would suit the school as well. My
granddaughter will attend this school
and it’s a unique name for its diverse
and unique children.
24401 Ryan Wagoner Staunton High School N/a
24477 Jeanetta Waitier Leave name as it is Its history
24401 Virginia Waitier Queen City High School
This isn't a name suggestion,
but a mascot suggestion:
Queen City Wizards
I like Staunton being referred to as the
Queen City.
24401 Kay Waitier Lee High I like it
24401 Robert Waitier Queen City High School Because Lee is not a option
24437 Josey Wales Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
George Washington High
School
Because it only makes sense to cakk it
what it is. Staunton High School. But
George Washington High School would
be even better yet
24401 Nick Walge Queen City High School n/a
24401 Dori Walk Queen City High School Staunton High School
Thank you to the Staunton City School
Board and to the Superintendent of
Staunton City Schools for their hard
work on this issue. I believe that Queen
City High School or Staunton High
School are good choices for a new
name. I would suggest that the team
name for either of those high school
names be the "Royals" ... this depicts
the "Queen" designation and would be
a fun mascot to embrace for both men
and women.
24401 Steve Walk Queen City High School Staunton High School
John Lewis High School.
Regardless of the name
chosen, I suggest the
nickname of "Royals" for the
sports teams. Fits with the
Queen City moniker.
Staunton is name of the city. Queen
City is the nickname for the city. John
Lewis is given credit as the founder of
the city. Royals works great as a
nickname and the school colors can
remain blue and white.
21218 Mitchell Walk Staunton High School Francis Collins High
Francis Collins is an outstanding
representative of Staunton.
24401 Trinity Walker Queen City High School
It sounds more appealing, other
schools in area just go by the town and
I think that Queen City would be
different in contrast
24477 Stephanie Walker Staunton High School Staunton City High School Sound better than the other options
24401 Edward Walker Staunton High School That used to be its name
24401 Aaliyah Walker Queen City High School We’re the Queen City
24401 Dominic Walker Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Francis S. Collins High School
Francis Collins is among the most
venerated people to have ever
graduated from Robert E. Lee High
School, if not the most. I don't know
him personally, but he seems like the
kind of person everyone can find
inspiration in, within a town as small as
ours. He's someone that rose above
our small town, and shows that anyone
from this town can make it big and
achieve a lot for humanity. As a recent
graduate of the school, someone like
that would have been just great to look
up to.
24401 Lori Wall Robert E. Lee High School
It is the best name for that school and
holds history for the students who have
graduated through those doors.
24401 Matt Wallace Queen City High School Good
24401 Kayden Wallace Staunton High School Because I think that they sound cool
24401 Harrison Wallace Queen City High School Staunton scooter high
I think this because this would make a
good chant in the friendly
competetition.
24401 Lia Wallace Queen City High School Staunton High School
They're accurate, inoffensive, pleasant-
sounding, and appropriate.
24401 Matthew Wallace Queen City High School Queen City Royals sounds cool.
24401 Cullen Wallace Queen City High School Staunton High School Queen City Royals
It is the least bit offensive and our city
is called the Queen City and royals
would fit our traditional royal blue
color. I also think our mascot should be
a lion like ODU’s.
24401 chris Wallace Staunton High School
Its a high school and in Staunton,
seems pretty simple right?
24401 Kayden Wallace Staunton High School Sounds nice
24431 Christy Wallis Queen City High School Queen City to honor Staunton
24401 Lindsey Walsh Queen City High School Staunton High School Ashburner High School
They reflect the positive history of the
city, and naming the school after
Charles E. Ashburner is a nod to the
innovation in Staunton
24401 Jason Walsh Queen City High School No
It isn't offensive and it deals with our
town itself
24401 Barbara Walters Queen City High School
Keep the name the way it
is!!! Why are we confirming
when it is part of our past.
Look to the future of our
students to educate them
and end this bigotry.
I like the current one. I don't like any of
the other names.
24401 Jacquelyn Walters Queen City High School
Being named the Queen City is a part of
Stauntons history.
24401 Tara Walters Queen City High School Staunton High School
I feel like those names represent our
city. :)
24401 Carolyn Wampler Shenandoah Valley High School Francis Collins High School
Shenandoah Valley High School
highlights our beautiful landscape,
Francis Collins is an inspirational figure
actually from the area.
24401 Joseph Wampler Staunton High School Queen City High School
I like using the nickname of Staunton
but also think it may confuse many
people
22980 T.J. Ward LEE High School
$ave money by rejiggering the honorific
for Lee's *DAD*, Lighthorse Harry Lee,
famed Virginian Lee of the 18th century
and KEEP your uniforms and team
names like fighting Leemen, etc
24401 Dyllon Ward Queen City High School Lee high
It is not offensive if you just call it lee
and I like the name queen city
24401 Patricia Ward Queen City High School Heather Heyer High School
Queen City gives the school more
uniquity, and my suggestion would be
more special with a more specific
message.
24401 Cathy Ward Hunter Talbert High School Very dedicated teacher and coach
24401 Stephanie Ward Queen City High School Heather Heyer High School
Queen City is more unique than Valley
or Shenandoah. Heyer attended Lee
High (I believe) and represents
inclusiveness and courage.
24486 Theresa Warlitner Staunton High School Lee High School History
24421 Jerry Warner Staunton High School
Go to the original name. The south
were traitors and slavers. I’m a 1974
graduate of RELee
24401 Jacob Warner Queen City High School Queen City high school
Apolitical alternative with a potentially
equally apolitical, better mascot name.
24401 Taylor Warner Staunton High School Keep the lee name
It is a part of history and stupid to
change it
24401 Matt Warner Shenandoah High School Staunton High School Francis Collins High School Famous scientist from Staunton.

24401 James Warren Staunton High School
Reclaim the Name. The change from
Staunton High School to Robert E. Lee
High School should be reversed.
24401 Cindy Warren Lee high
Lee stands for Leadership, Excellence,

24401 Grace Warren Queen City High School ITS COOLER
24482 Karen Warren Donald Trump
He is doing a lot for our country...as did

Started out as “Staunton HS”. Other
area schools are named after town.
Makes it easier at games.
22980 Constance Warren Queen City High School Completely takes my breath away
24401 Angela Warren-Tehrani Staunton High School Lee High School
If you have to change you may as well
keep it simple just like Waynesboro
High School to identify the city it's in.
Or change it to Lee HS without the R.E.
It might save on the cost of changing
uniforms, signs,etc.
24430 Desirae Washington Staunton High School Lee
Because people know it as Lee not
Robert E. Lee and Staunton High School
sounded better than the other choices
24401 Chris Washington R.E. Lee High School
Its the name of the school regardless of
what you put on the front of the
building. Save taxpayer money. The
people of Staunton don't want this
22801 Cindy Washington Lee High School
Proud 1976 graduate, Heartbroken my
history will be erased
24401 Christopher Washington Staunton High School Because I didn't like the other names.

school. And showed some of us how
big the world really is.
24401 Chelsea Watkins Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Valley High School nothing no reason
24401 Gordon Watkins Staunton High School
This name should not offend any of the
delicate souls with a history problem.
24401 Don Watson Staunton High School
It's the city name, hard to argue about
that.
24401 William Watson Staunton High School School board made a stupid decision.
22939 Will Watson Queen City High School It sounds classy
22939 Will Watson Queen City High School
Queen City is a great name and
provides for great mascot names such
as “Royals”
24401 J.J Watt Queen City High School Raptor high Because i want to be royals
24401 Barry Watts General Lee High School
General Lee was an honorable man
who did not own slaves himself, and as
executor of his father-in-law's will,
instructed his wife and daughters to
teach the slaves in their temporary
custody to read and write in
preparation for their freedom, which
was stipulated in his father-in-law's will.
24017 Devon Watts Robert E Lee High Because it's just fine the way it is
24401 Jiyon Watts Queen City High School Non Sound greats and better than Staunton
24401 Kyla Waybright Lee high school
Everyone was offend by "Robert" so

24401 Charnette Wayland Staunton High School Staunton
Name of the city only makes since to
have the only HS to be named after the
city
22802 Claire Wayman Queen City High School Staunton High School Location is clear
22508 Pamela Wayne Staunton High School It is the most reasonable choice.
22801 Jackson Weakley Queen City High School Bluestone high school Sounds cool
24401 Timothy Weaver Queen City High School I like the sounds of it. Sounds unique.
24401 Heather Weaver Queen City High School Lee High School
If it has to be changed they're the best
options
24486 Satina Weaver Shenandoah High School Staunton High School Lee High School I chose it because I like the name
24401 Sarah Webb Queen City High School Lee High School
It would be cool to be called the Queen
City Royals, and if we could still be Lee
High, We wouldn't have to change our
cheers or anything.
24401 Sarah Webb Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Sky Hawke High School
Because people cant get offended at
these names.
24401 Ellen Webb Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School Valley High School Talbott high He was great teacher!

Civic pride; identifies Staunton with the
high school's achievements
24401 Lydia Weeks Staunton High School
Seems like the natural name when a
city only has one high school. Good PR
for the city. City recognition.
24401 Jeff Weeks Queen City High School
Stonewall Jackson High
School
History... I attended Virginia Military
Institute and I marched from Lexington
to New Market battlefield just like
Stonewall did as a college professor at
VMI during the war. He was very
intelligent. I like Queen City the best
though
24401 Jeff Weeks Queen City High School Queen City High School
Staunton is known, historically, as the
queen City of the Shenandoah valley
24401 Lewis Welcher Staunton High School
staunton hs is the best choice for
everyone to be included and proud to
say that i am from STAUNTON and i am
proud to represent STAUNTON
24401 Jennifer Welcher Staunton High School
It is generic and should make everyone
happy.
24437 Meridith Welcher Hunter Talbott High School
Hunter Talbott was a major influence
on a lot of students that have been all
through the City school system. He was
an upstanding and outstanding pillar of
our community!
24401 Shi Wells Queen City High School
I choose Queen City because its a
better name for the school. And it
sounds cooler then Staunton High.
24401 Butch Wells Staunton High School N/A
While I live just outside the city limits
now I remain very connected to
Staunton having lived and worked
there for 30+ years. While there are
several individuals worthy of having the
school named in their honor, “Staunton
High School” is representative of the
locality it served and is all inclusive. As
for a mascot(s) or nickname-“Kings and
Queens”or “Fighting Kings and
Queens” of Staunton High School !!
Again, all inclusive. Good luck with
your decision !
24401 Shi Wells Queen City High School Way better then staunton high
24401 Lorenzo Wells Queen City High School Night Fall High School
Night Fall sounds very beautiful and
Staunton has always had gorgeous
nights and Queen City High School is
really nice too

24401 Tanika Wells Robert E. Lee High
Why change the name. Now it is going
to cost more for Staunton, Va. payers
24401 Darrien Wells Queen City High School It sounds better than Staunton high
24401 Derek Wenger Queen City High School Queen City sounds cool
22834 crystal Wenger Queen City High School

as the Queen city.
24019 Smitty
Werbenjagermanje
nsen Krabby Land High School Eugene Krabs rocks!
24401 Brock Wesley Staunton High School N/A My preference.
24401 Treyvn West Queen City High School Paul Hatcher high school
Paul hatch because he was a legend at
this school and the gym is named after
him
24401 Jeremy West Staunton High School Valley High School
We should not be making after a
person. We should reflect or region.
The name was Staunton high, let's not
forget the history
24401 Camdyn West Queen City High School none none
24401 Phoebe West Queen City High School Staunton High School Progress high school Just so happy Lee Is gone!
24401 Hailee West Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School N/A
- sound the best and there’s literally no
issues with them
22801 Madison Westmoreland Staunton High School Ricky Bobby High School
Ricky Bobby is an important southern
figure not weighed down by a history
of racism and oppression. He is a
cultural icon that is better suited to
represent Southern Heritage. And who
wouldn't like the phrase "if you're not
first, you're last" to inspire children to
do their best?
24482 Jessie Wheeler Staunton High School
To make it fair! Get rid of a name that
hurts and name it something everyone
can agree on! It's in Staunton so
therefore name it after where our
community is!
24401 Tiffany Wheeler Queen City High School Lee High School No choice
22482 Shannon Wheeler WHEELER Staunton High School
It is the name of the city where school
is located
24401 Cody Wheeler Queen City High School Sounds the best
24472 Kyle Whigham Queen City High School Schooley McSchoolface Cause it’s fuckin dope
24401 Cassy Whitacre Staunton High School Neutral and accurate
24401 jacob whitaker Queen City High School keep it the same they sound cool
24401 Mandee White Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School Valley High School
24401 Ky'Nasia White Queen City High School Queen City Royals
I have chosen the Queen City Royals
because it is different and can bring
and new and fresh name to Staunton. If
this name is chosen then one of the
colors should be changed to a dark
royal purple.
24401 Mandee White Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School none
24477 Harold White Queen City High School It’s unique
24401 Mandee White Shenandoah Valley High School Valley High School
We don't get an option. This is all to
keep people thinking they have a say
when the decision of 4 people is all the
really matters.
24401 Zach White Queen City High School
Queen City High School
Royals
Queen City counts cool, and the
mascots choice could be the Royals,
with the royal blue color and a king
AND queen mascot.
24401 Josh White Queen City High School N/a
It's the only name with character, but
still keeps the essence of Staunton.
24401 Jason White Queen City High School
I chose Queen City High School because
it shows the uniqueness of Staunton
City and how much it stands out in the
surrounding area and the valley
24401 Mitzi White Queen City High School
shows our uniqueness as a city in the
Shenandoah valley
24401 Nazeil White Naz Queen city sounds better than Staunton
24401 Aaron White Queen City High School Erik Nylander Highschool
You should advertise your best
teachers, they deserve the recognition.
24401 Allison White Queen City High School Francis Collins High School
Francis Collins graduated from Robert E
Lee High School and went on to play a
major role in the human genome
project. He was a great example of
what students graduating from
Staunton's high school can accomplish.
Also, he is close to a celebrity in the
biology world and Staunton should
utilize this.
24401 Ben White Robert E. Lee
There is no educational need to change
the name.
24401 Wesley White Queen City High School Staunton High School Snowflake high school
Because the city is occupied by a bunch
of liberal snowflakes
24401 James white Valley High School nice ring to it
24479 Dakota White Queen City High School Staunton High School Francis Collins High School
Francis Collins is an alumni as well as
the Leader of The Human Genome
Project
24401 Spencer White Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Shenandoah Valley High School
They are all very representative of our
lovely city. They also do not
discriminate against any group of
people.
24401 Csayjah Whitelow Queen City High School Lee Staunton’s original name
24482 Dustin Whitesell Staunton High School Donald J Trump High school
Because this name change crap is
stupid. Learn the real history and get
over yourselves. Donald trump is an
awesome president and deserves a
school named after him.
24401 Emma Whitesell Queen City High School
I think it’s something unique that
represents the City of Staunton in a
positive manner
24401 Rita Whitfield Staunton High School
Most area high schools are named for
the jurisdiction in which they are
located in and I feel Staunton should be
as well. Understand Staunton is known
as the “Queen” city but I see arguments
as to why not call it the “King” City high
school.
24401 Genhi Whitmer Staunton High School Francis Collins High School
An Alumni whose work with the Human
Genome Project has contributed to the
betterment of many
24401 Sonya Whitmer Staunton High School
It makes sense to name the school after
the city it is in, I don’t understand why
it was ever changed to RE Lee.
24401 Richard Whitmore
Frank-Holley-Kurtz High
School
The name carries the name of three
former educators in the city of
Staunton. Kenneth Frank was a former
school superintendent. Ernest Holley
was a guidance counselor and teacher.
Charles Kurtz was a former principal of
Robert E. Lee High School. All three
were outstanding educators on this city.
24401 Chris Whyyouneedthis Robert E Lee
Because it should not be changed until
the correct history is learned by all
envolved
22801 Emily Wicht Queen City High School Staunton High School The others are too generic
22901 Tekia Wicks Queen City High School
It celebrates the city itself, without
renaming the school from a time period
that is non inclusive.
24401 Marsha Widner Staunton High School
Best choice since it was currently
named this.
66226 Jennifer
Wieland (formerly
Bowen) Queen City High School Staunton High School Stephen Moore High School
Both suggested names (Staunton HS
and QCHS) reflect where the school is
located and communicate clearly who
attends the school. The other
suggested names could cause
confusion as to where the school is
located. I suggest Stephen Moore HS in
honor of Mr. Moore, who taught
chemistry at Lee High for many years,
was an outstanding student at Lee
High, and has contributed (and
continues to contribute) much to the
Staunton community.
24401 Kathryn Wigglesworth Queen City High School Harry Potter High School They sound cool
16635 Cat Wilde Schoolie McSchoolFace
Because it's a school and it's a kickass
name
24401 Nick Wilde Staunton High School AdoIf HitIer High School Fourteen Eighty Eight
24401 Gretchen Wilhelm Staunton High School
Staunton is what all students have in
common.
24401 Will Wilkerson Staunton High School
Woodrow Wilson High
School Staunton is the birthplace of him
24401 Blake Wilkerson Paul Hatcher High School
Honoring a local great that positively
impacted our youth.
24401 Aleeza Wilkins Queen City High School Staunton High School
All of the high schools in the area seem
to be named after their location, so
Staunton High School makes the most
sense to me. If going "back" to the old
high school name is controversial, using
the "Queen City" nickname is a good
alternative, though not as recognizable.
24401 Jeremey Wilkins Staunton High School
You didn’t give me the choice to
change the name, so this is all I get to
do. I will however get to vote for new
board members!
24401 marvin willams Queen City High School cause
24401 Lindsey Willard Shenandoah High School
It is a neutral name. Staunton high
school was a segregated school. It’s
new and relevant and neutral.
24401 Madie Williams Queen City High School Bc it better
24401 George Williams Staunton High School Good name.
24401 Ross Williams Public School #1
Its completely generic and in noway
could offend anyone.
22835 John Williams Valley High School Virginia I like it
24401 Sandra Williams Queen City High School Originality.
24401 Megan Williams Queen City High School Staunton High School
Should go back to the original, and I
just like Queen City
24401 Anthony Williams Queen City High School I'm not offended by the name.
24401 Jennifer Williams Queen City High School Francis Collins High School
One if the most famous modern day
scientist that is revolutionizing the
workd as we know it went to this high
school and should be honored by
naming the school after him.
24401 Keziah Williams Queen City High School sounds good
24401 Sheila Williams P. C. Weak
Because bending over for the p.c.crowd
is creating tyrants. You can't erase
history by changing a name. Disgusting.
24401 Victoria Williams Staunton High School
Surrounding schools have their city
name (Harrisonburg, Waynesboro,
Charlottesville, Rockbridge County).
Also when we appear in state
tournaments, people will link our
school name to our city.
24401 Drew Williams Valley High School No name high school. So no one offended ??
24401 James Williams Staunton High School The original high school name.
24401 Jan Williams
Lee High School and get a
real mascot
It simple fix and a great compromise.
And much less money will be spent
24401 Brooklyn Williams Queen City High School It’s a good name
24401 Avery Willie Queen City High School Best one
24401 Avery Willie Queen City High School it is the best one
24401 Erin Willie Queen City High School Its the best one
24401 Avery Willie Queen City High School Best one
24401 Brandi Willie Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
Staunton High School honestly seems
like the best choice for me. It identifies
our town and is similar to other local
high schools: Waynesboro High,
Harrisonburg High, Page County High,
etc. These schools are all named based
on their location. I had never
considered Shenandoah Valley High,
but it has a nice ring to it. I like it. Thank
you all for your hard work.
24401 Stephanie Willis Queen City High School Valley High School
Queen City High School is a better
choice than Staunton High School.
Queen City describes our city
24477 John Willis Schooly McSchool Face Because
24401 Beyonia Willis Queen City High School Queen City high school It’s a reasonable name
24401 Richard Wills Staunton High School
It just makes sense... identifies the
school's location and it was once the
name of the school. Couldn't be
simpler!
24401 Bob Willy Queen City High School Leave it the Hell alone. RE lee
People need to grow some balls and
quit getting but hurt over everything.
Segregation is over ao quit bitchen and
get a life.
24401 Fred Wilson Staunton High School
Staunton HS is best that is for all in
geographical area
24401 Holly Wilson Staunton High School Valley High School Coalter High Location
24401 Haley Wilson Queen City High School
We are a popular tourist city and
outsiders know us as Queen City, so it
would make sense for that to be our
name. As well, we would keep the same
school colors.
24401 Reece Wilson Staunton High School It is the name of our city.
24401 James Wilson Staunton High School
It is simple and should not OFFEND or
HURT anyone.
24401 Wayne Wilson Staunton High School
Staunton is the most
appropriate choice. Even
though Queen City is a good
name, in the long run, it will
not be best for ALL
STUDENTS. The male
students will be called
"QUEENS" "FAGS", etc
Staunton is a more better choice.
Queen City is not a good name for a
high school, considering what's best
for ALL STUDENTS. Male Students will
be called "QUEENS", "FAGS", etc
24401 Katie Wilson Robert E. Lee High School
Keeping the name provokes thought.
When though is not provoked and
history is forgotten it is doomed to
repeat. The name reminds us of the
history in our area and should make us
proud for how far we have come.
24401 Bobby Wilson Staunton High School Best choice
24401 Caroline Wilson Queen City High School
Other names listed are too rural for the
school, Queen City encompasses
Staunton’s personality
24401 Bryan Wilson Staunton High School It makes the most sense
24401 Gary Wilson Shenandoah Valley High School T. J. Collins High School
He was responsible for designing a
number of buildings around town,
including the old high school. Naming it
after him would be a nod to the old
school and to a man whose influence
on the Staunton's bueautiful and
unique cityscape is still felt. Without
him, an event like Mischief and Magic
would never have happened.
24401 Rosemary Wilson Queen City High School Staunton High School
I chose Queen City HS and Staunton HS
because these names are more
representative of the location of the
HS. I feel like either of those two names
allow the community to better identify
with. Also, these two names encourage
students to learn more about our
history.
24401 Dave Wilson Staunton High School Tired of the drama.
24401 Oliver Wilson-Cook Queen City High School
Staunton’s downtown district is
constantly referred to as Queen City, so
it is only appropriate to name the new
high school after such a lively
downtown
24401 Steve Wilt Staunton High School Robert E Lee Nothing wrong with the previous name.
24401 Juanita Wimer Staunton High School Most logical
24401 Greyden Wimer Queen City High School Staunton High School
They make sense when compared to
Waybesboro High School
24401 Janice Wimer Staunton High School
It is in staunton. Why not name it after
the city
24401 Gary Wimer Staunton High School Most logical
24401 Dylan Wimer Queen City High School Staunton High School They truly represent the city itself
24401 C Wimer Queen City High School Staunton High School Proud of the City of Staunton
24401 Tyler Wimer Staunton High School Nope It’s cool
24401 Jane Wimmer Staunton High School
It is descriptive of the location of the
school and it reverts back to the
original name.
24440 mia windley Staunton High School R. E. Lee High School
because the high school is in staunton
and the name also shouldn’t be
changed
24401 Charlotte Windsor
The Real High School of
Staunton, VA
I believe, that the Real housewives set a
wonderful example and hold values in
which we should each strive to achieve
24401 Kristine Wine Staunton High School
The only decent one should leave it the
same smh
24401 Ashley Wine Queen City High School
Because I can’t choose lee high
anymore
24401 Blair Wingfield Queen City High School
Because Staunton is the queen of all
cities!
24401 Monica Wirth John Lewis High School
He was the founding father for the city
of Staunton.
24401 Fiona Wirth Queen City High School
It is more original than "Staunton High
School" and more applicable to our city!
27707 Clayton Wisely Staunton High School Francis Collins High School He is a distinguished alumnus.
22980 Bill Wiseman Robert E. Lee
KEEP IT THE SAME, NOTHING IS
WRONG WITH IT
24401 Rhiannon Wiseman Queen City High School Blackfriars highschool
The Blackfriars is a big part of stauntons
community and with the schools
amazing theater program which is one
of the leading in Virginia we should
recognize it
24401 Andrew Wiseman Queen City High School Staunton High School Others were too generic
24401 Dwayne Witherspoon

It's neutral he believed that everybody

he fought for equality in all men
24401 Keishawn Witherspoon Barak Obama

22980 Sam Witt Shenandoah Valley High School
Dr. Nancy G. Witt High
School
Dr Nancy Witt focused heavily on
education and community outreach,
developing teacher training programs
through affiliations with MBC, UVA,
JMU, and Bridgewater College.
22801 Griffin Witt Queen City High School The name is important in staunton
24401 Emma Witt Queen City High School its the best one
24401 Stacey Wittenberg Shitlicker High School
I selected this name because it truly
encapsulates the essence of the school.
I had a shitty four years there because
the students were shitty, the teachers
were shitty, and the education was
shitty. Changing the name will not
change the fact that this school is the
shit stain of Staunton.
24401 Morgan Wodesky Staunton High School
because if you must change it, keep it
simple and use Staunton
24477 Randall Wolf Staunton High School Francis Collins
This is something the citizens all have in
common. Shenandoah is confusing to
be honest. The S.V. is a BIG place. I
prefer Staunton High School, but
Francis Collins is someone we all
respect and can aspire to.
22939 KW WOLF Staunton High School Public School #1
Any persons name could be offensive
to a citizen one day.that is The reason
you chose to change it at great
expense. Dont make it happen again in
the future by using another person's
name.
24401 Jelisa Wolfe Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School
I think Queen City is a unique name
that stands out from other schools.
Shenandoah Valley is reflective of our
region.
24401 Luke Wolfe Queen City High School Staunton High School Robert E. Lee High School Tradition and civic pride
24401 Keelin Wolfe Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School N/A
I believe that the city needs a break
between the two original names
suggested. The suggestion of Staunton
High School was used by a specific side
in the renaming debate, and while I
fully support the change of the name, I
do believe that it would be smart of the
school board to not appear to be
awarding one side. I believe naming the
school "Staunton High School" would
be seen as doing just that.
22939 Wayne Wolfe Staunton High School Public High School #1
Any name other that Staunton High
School would one day offend someone
else leading to more wasted tax dollars
to rename the school. Staunton High
School was the original name to start
with.
24401 Brenda Wollner Staunton High School
Because it is the name of our city and
not a person.
24477 Tammy Wolters Robert E Lee High School
There are better uses for the taxpayers
money than what this change will entail.
24431 Joshua Wonderley Queen City High School Robert E. Lee High School
Name should not be changed. Shame
on you.
24401 Aaron Wood Queen City High School No It’s the better one
24401 Audrey Wood Queen City High School It represents the charm of Staunton
22401 Traci Wood Robert E. Lee High School
Because there's nothing wrong with it -
a great American of duty & honor!
22980 Parker Wood Robert E. Lee High School
The name should not be changed
because he is an important historical
figure that did many great things for
our country.
22980 Gwynne Wood Queen City High School It’s fun and reflects a sense of pride.
24401 Kelsi Wood Staunton High School
That’s the name of our city, it only
makes sense. Also, we are not the only
school in the valley!
22980 Seth Wood Chris H. Long High School
Chris Long is a former resident of the
Commonwealth of Virginia, went to
college in Virginia, and has donated
significant time and money to support
education in this Commonwealth.
Additionally, he has acted as a
tremendous role model for the children
and people of this area, through his
promotion of income and racial
equality. I feel that his example is the
perfect model to base the new name
for the school after.
24401 Elle Wood Queen City High School N/A
1. Queen City = Staunton City but
sounds cooler 2. Keeping the *royal*
blue color 3. Mascots can be a king
AND a queen (YAS QUEEN) 4. It’s not
political 5. It just sounds cool I mean
come on
24401 Jeannie Wood Valley High School N/a Had to pick one
24401 Lauren Woodard Queen City High School Unity valley high school
Unity describes togetherness
,orchestration as one .
24401 Christian Wooddell Queen City High School Queen City Royal High School IDK
24467 Brandon Wooddell Donald trump high school
He’s leading the resistance for
individual freedoms unlike democrats
who wants to control your every word
you speak and action you take aka
“slavery”
24401 Mahlyk Woodfolk Queen City High School Shenandoah High School Staunton High School Stanton Valley High School It goes good for stanton
22843 Paula Woods Staunton High School N/a
There is no debating the school is
located in Staunton and it matches
Waynesboro High school
22980 Isabel Woodworth Queen City High School It’s an original but relevant name
22980 Emmaline Woodworth Queen City High School
It is original, flows well, and would
provide a great opportunity for a good
mascot (royals).
24401 Makayla Woolridge Queen City High School Queen City Royals
The reason for queen city is because
the nick name for staunton used to be
queen city and that would be cool to
incorparite that. And royals because it
sounds better and you would not have
to change the colors.
24421 vicki woolridge R L HIGH SCHOOL LEAVE THE NAME
24401 Lillian Woolston Queen City High School More appropriate
24401 David Woolston Queen City High School
No other schools around have a
nickname of Royals and I think it would
go well with QCHS. I also think it would
be good to go with Orange and Navy
Blue as the school colors as a tribute to
both the graduates of Booker T. and
Lee.
24401 Michelle Woolston Queen City High School Staunton High School
Queen City High with Royals
as mascot They show the most pride in our city
24467 William Wright
Robert Edward Lee High
School
I don't think people know enough
about R. E. Lee, so having his full name
for the high school will may encourage
more study.
24401 Khari Wright Staunton High School Staunton City High School The name represents Staunton City
24477 Emily Wright Staunton High School Its the town the school is in
24401 Erin Wright Queen City High School N/a

community well.

24401 Aerial Wright Queen City High School I just love that name.
24401 Christopher Wright Queen City High School Mark Tinsley High School He was such an amazing guy
24401 Jon Wright Staunton High School Collins High School Geographic relevance.
24401 Will Wright Queen City High School It's new and unique
22812 Veronica Wright Staunton High School
I feel Staunton High School is
appropriate since that was the original
name.
24401 Christina Wulf Staunton High School none
Many of the other high schools in the
area are named after their communities
(Waynesboro, Harrisonburg, Fort
Defiance, etc.) Staunton HS would be
consistent and simple.
22939 Ned Wulin Shenandoah High School Staunton High School Clear and concise
24482 Cass Wyant Queen City High School Barack Obama High School It’s lit
24401 Mason Wyatt Staunton High School No Should make everyone happy

this may be a compromise
24401 Rosanne Wykes Staunton High School Simple
24401 Malcolm X Adolf Hitler High School
Adolf Hitler didn't enslave blacks, he's
more moral than Robert E Lee
24401 giiim xx
Robert E Lee High school -
LEEMAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lee High will always be Lee
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
24401 Kiana Yancey Queen City High School Staunton High School Staunton city high school Its simple
24401 Jeremy Yapo Staunton High School N/A To revert it back to its original name.
24477 Merab Yeomans Queen City High School None It has the best ring to it
24401 Anon Ymos Staunton High School Snowflake High School
Because snowflakes are fragile and
unique, much like many members of
the voting committee that decided to
erase part of our history.
24421 Amy Yoder Staunton High School
Best option available. Should not be
changing school name at all!
24401 Evan York Queen City High School Robert E. Lee High School I'm used to it
24401 Diana Young Staunton High School It seems like a logical decision
22939 Yvonne Young Queen City High School
I love the Queen City! I went to county
schools but lived in Staunton for years.
24401 Rodney Young Queen City High School Staunton High School
Naming public schools after a person
can be treacherous; even naming a
school after a prominent citizen is
fraught with danger. For example, few
people would have objected to
Woodrow Wilson High School 30 years
ago, or perhaps even more recently.
But it is virtually certain that naming
the high school after him now would
likely lead to objections. Because public
schools should be inclusive and
welcoming to all students, I strongly
recommend that the high school be
named after a place and not a person.
80206 Sarah Young Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
Representative and inclusive of the
entire valley/city. As an alumna, I'm
hopeful the new name will provide
some unity.
24401 Whitney Young Queen City High School
The nickname of Staunton is Queen
City. If you are taking away the real
name of our school at least give us a
name that we all like and that name is
Queen City high school
24401 Kathryn Young-dunay Staunton High School N/a Peace
24401 Denise Yurish Queen City High School
I like the name and I think it is
confusing because Staunton River High
School already exists.
24401 Collin Yurish Queen City High School It’s got character
24401 Olivia Yurish Queen City High School Queen City Royals
Queen City High School is not named
after a person whose name and actions
cannot be viewed differently over time
depending on what is going on in the
society at that time. The name also
sounds cool.
24401 Cooper Yurish Queen City High School Queen City royals
Sounds cool. No way for the name to
get misconstrued. And we can keep the
same color
24401 Mark Yurish Queen City High School Staunton High School Better represent Staunton.
24437 Shannon Zaccaria Staunton High School N/A
As a graduate of Robert E. Lee High
School in the class of 1995, I fully
support the name change. I think that
in keeping with the history of the high
school, and not losing who we are,
reverting back to Staunton High School
is a solid choice. Many older diplomas -
even some after the school was coined
Robert E. Lee - state Staunton High
School as the place of graduation.
Thank you so much for the opportunity
to weigh in on the issue and for your
undeniable willingness to hear all
voices.
24401 Courtney Zacharias Staunton High School because it much better than the others
24401 Sara Zacharias Queen City High School No It’s different and unique...
24401 Stefan Zdanski Queen City High School Staunton High School
Staunton high is the original name, and
is the best option when it comes to
finding so called "middle ground" with
the save the name voter base
24401 Chad Zenzen Staunton High School I like the name
24401 Niki Zenzen Staunton High School Why not
24401 Karmah Zewil Queen City High School It sounds the best.
22812 Madison Zigler Staunton High School Lee High School Everyone already calls it Lee
24441 Kristin Zimmer Staunton High School Queen City High School
Staunton High School is the school's
original name and makes sense due to
its location.
24401 Keith Zimmerman Staunton High School
We were Staunton HS before all that
changing names durring Jim Crow Era.
It should also be the least contraversial
name and most easily accepted.
24401 Brenda Zimmerman Queen City High School Staunton High School Simple and non controversial
24401 Monica Zinn Staunton High School -
It is inclusive of all students and
families in our community.
24401 Ben Zipperer Queen City High School Shenandoah Valley High School Staunton High School
Staunton High School seems simple.
Queen City is popular and would
distinguish it from other names.
24450 Brandon Zollman Robert E. Lee
Because of the man Robert E. Lee really
was. Please teach today's youth proper
history and not the false accusations
pushed by liberal agendas.
