FBISD BOARD APPROVES NAMES OF NEW CAMPUSES

By: SH-FBISD News The names of new FBISD campuses were approved at the district’s Monday night business meeting with plans for one of the schools to bear the name of a legendary high school coach who recently passed away. The newly constructed campus for Blue Ridge-Briargate Elementary School will be named after George Bush High School Head Football Coach and former NFL player Allen Aldridge Jr. who passed away suddenly in September at the age of 52. His family was present at the board meeting and said the beloved coach would probably blush to see his name on a school. “He would be happy, but he might have hidden his face,” upon receiving such recognition, the coach’s mother Cleotha Aldridge said. His wife Tajuana agreed, “This is not something he would ever have asked for because he was a very laid-back person, but he would be so proud and excited about this.” The post FBISD BOARD APPROVES NAMES OF NEW CAMPUSES appeared first on African American News and Issues.
