This woman is the epitome of the saying "It takes a village to raise a child". She made me want to learn, made me want more...
She should absolutely, positively have a school named for her

I agree that Mrs. Barber is deserving of a school named after her because of her involvement, School Principal and on the School Board for many years.

Mrs Barber help to mold me as a young man period. We need more like her in schools today. She encouraged us to dream big and and accept nothing less than what we wanted in life. How many schools had a live newscast every morning? We did at Mabel Hoggard! How many higher achieving 4th graders were sent to study Math and English with 6th graders to be challenged in our studies. We did at Mabel Hoggard. An example of life and higher education in a raw form! Pioneer of life and education at its best! Thank you Mrs. Barber

Mrs. Barber was my mentor and my inspiration to become an elementary school principal just like her. No one deserves this honor more than Mrs. Shirley A. Barber; a world class lady and the gentlest, most giving person I've ever had the privilege to know.

Mrs. Shirley Barber has been a committed and dedicated advocate for education on behalf of both the students and educators in Las Vegas. Having a school to bear her name would be the ultimate recognition for this educating giant.
