Renaming of Henderson Middle School in Sour Lake upsetting some alumni

Henderson Middle School will be renamed Hardin-Jefferson Junior High.

The school was named after their first Black principal, J.H. Henderson.

"We're not asking for much all we want is the name changed back. We want to see come fall time, that my grandchildren, along with her grandchildren go back to Henderson Middle School," Carrier-Walters said.

Director of Communications for Hardin-Jefferson independent School District Mandy Fortenberry tells 12News the school board approved the name change in March.

"The decision to align the name of our new middle school building with the other campuses in our district was on the School Board agenda in February and March. The matter was tabled in February because all members were not present. In March, the board voted to approve the name of the new district middle school building Hardin-Jefferson Junior High. The board is currently looking into alternate ways to honor Mr. Henderson, as well as other past employees."
