Ways to honor Cardwell include renaming school

cardwell (Small).jpegOne idea floated by school board members is renaming the Union Bower Center for Learning for former trustee Barbara Cardwell, who recently passed away. Union Bower is a non-traditional high school traditionally for struggling students that is being remodeled and redesigned into an academy with career tracks.

This would be like The Academy of Irving ISD being renamed Singley Academy for the former superintendent, except that trustees suggested that students may accept renaming because the old name has a negative stigma attached to it as an alternative school. They also want to signal a new beginning. But would it be Cardwell Academy, Cardwell Center, Cardwell High School?

Another idea was renaming the board room that trustees meet in, or a new middle school built in the future.

What do you think? The school district is taking your suggestions here.
