greenandgoldhawk Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I see there is some slight confusion about the school McEvans and how the name came to be. It has nothing to do with Ray Brooks closing. The students from Ray Brooks were both divided into West Bolivar and Shaw school. Shaw had 2 separate schools operated out of one building and two sets of administrative/office staff. The school board decided that there just needed to be one administrative staff serving grades k-12 rather than having 2 administrative staff with 1 serving k-8 and 1 serving 9-12. The school bord and concerned parents of the area elected to take the current middle school name due to that building being the primary building used and the historical values he brought to the area to minorities at that time. Sidenote: Mr McEvans is a man born from the Ray Brooks area who moved to Shaw to help establish and flourish businesses and minorities in this area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
