Abstract:

How do schools get their names? Crissman provides a number of possibilities for names, including a person (Booker T. Washington Elementary); a place (Beech Mountain Elementary); a direction (Northwest High School); and a lofty idea (First Flight Elementary). Every North Carolina school system has a policy for naming its schools.
