I, the undersigned hereby respond in opposition to the notice of an organized movement to change the name of South Shore International College Prep to Willie T. Barrow.

South Shore International College Prep High School follows in the legacy of what was once an academic and athletic powerhouse producing such great alumni as the discoverer of the structure of DNA, the founder of the second largest software development and manufacturing company in the world and the head coach of four consecutive National Football League AFC championship teams, just to name a few. Its name represents a large community of proud alumni and supporters.

As a community member, supporter and/or alumni, I oppose such a change and encourage the local school council not to change the name of South Shore International College Prep to Willie T. Barrow.

LISTEN AND SHARE: This is from the December 15, 2015 LSC Name Change Committee meeting.
