A school within the local school district could soon be named after a former president and his First Lady.
The naming of the district’s future Project Based Learning campus — located Olympic High School at 721 Ocean Park Boulevard — was discussed at a Thursday, May 16 board meeting.
The board proposed naming the site after former president Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, dubbing the space the Michelle and Barack Obama’s Center for Inquiry and Exploration.
“This is about the politics of recognition and honoring the hope, inspiration and commitment to civic duty in the spirit of the Obamas” said Dr. Richard Tahvildaran-Jesswein … quoted by the Santa Monica Daily Press.
Malibu’s Craig Foster says he couldn’t think of a more appropriate 21st-century leader to name the district’s 21st-century learning campus after.
