WOODSTOCK — A Virginia school board voted Friday to restore the names of Confederate military leaders to a high school and an elementary school, four years after the names had been removed.
Shenandoah County’s School Board voted 5-1 to rename Mountain View High School as Stonewall Jackson High School, and Honey Run Elementary as Ashby Lee Elementary.
Friday’s vote reverses a decision by the board in 2020, a time when school systems across the South were removing Confederate names from schools in response to the Black Lives Matter movement.
