We the undersigned would like the Columbus East High School band room be named after Mr. Pemberton. Ora C. Pemberton taught thousands of band students at Columbus East High School and Central Middle School for over two decades - an entire generation of students. We want to show him our appreciation for everything he has done for us and for what he continues to do for our community.

Please - share this with anyone who grew up in Columbus and knows Mr. Pemberton. However, please do not share this publicly. We don't want Mr. Pemberton to know while we are still in the early stages.
