RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Tonight we should finally learn the new name for Richmond’s Thompson Middle School.
School officials decided to rename the school because it is merging with Elkhardt Middle. Last year, students were forced out of Elkhardt Middle because of mold found inside the building.
The following names have been suggested for the renaming of Thompson/Elkhardt Middle School:
- Allen Iverson Middle School
- Artson Middle School
- Benjamin Banneker Middle School
- Bon Air Middle School
- Elkhardt-Thompson Middle School
- Elkson Middle School
- Fred Thompson Middle School
- Henry L. Marsh III Middle School
- James C. Vaughan Middle School
- James Calvin Vaughan Middle School
- James Vaughan Middle School
- Leroy Rountree Hassell, Sr. Middle School
- South of the James Middle School
- South Richmond Middle School
- Southside Middle School
- Stratford Hills Middle School.
- Thompson-Elkhardt Middle School
The new name is expected to be announced at tonight’s school board meeting, which gets underway at 6 p.m.
