Three beloved educators and a state legislator and U.S. Supreme Court justice dedicated to public service recently were honored as the namesakes for Northside ISD's five newest schools.

Hundreds of parents, students, and staff members attended the dedication ceremonies for the five schools, which opened in August for the 2008-09 school year.

Peggy Carnahan, Nora Forester, and Evelyn Scarborough elementary schools each are named for a former Northside educator who committed her entire career to student success.

Robert L. Vale Middle School is named for the longtime state senator and representative from San Antonio who was an advocate of legislative reform, and Louis D. Brandeis High School is named for the progressive Supreme Court Justice who worked to protect the right to privacy and freedom of speech.

"It is such a thrill to be able to honor these exemplary individuals by naming a school after them," Superintendent John Folks said. "They will serve as wonderful role models to many students for years to come."
