The calls for change have been heard, and tonight the Prince William County School Board answered. As a result, there have been two major changes to schools in Manassas during the June 29th limited meeting. The first was the controversial name of Stonewall Jackson Middle School to be re-named Unity Braxton Middle School, to honor the Braxton family, who are civil rights leaders in the county. Later in the meeting, the name Stonewall Jackson High School was changed to Unity Reed High School after the late Arthur Reed.

The vote, proposed by Brentsville District School Board Member Adele Jackson, was passed unanimously.

The PW Perspective will provide more updates as they are received.
